Gabe Rocks!

I had the opportunity to share my weight loss story at the Blooming Sunflower Center In the last few years I’ve lost over 330lbs and gone from feeling entirely trapped in my body to being able to bike and rollerblade!

Jan 2025 to Sept 2026 Watch the video on Substack until I’m able to re-migrate videos back to this site.

Over the course of my radical weight loss journey I’ve learned a lot.

There’s no real “finish line” on this whole building a healthy lifestyle thing, but I’m finally at the point where the immense amount of work put in feels worthwhile.

It has been a while since I’ve published one of these off-the-cuff walking monologues.

Lately I’ve had the pleasure of taking a vacation to Vancouver.

This Mother’s Day I would like to share a personal thank you to mothers, grandmothers and the wise women out there, even on the World Wide Web.

It really wasn’t that long ago that I even struggled with walking, but I am thrilled to share that I have gone rollerblading for the first time in a long time.

Lately I’ve been wrestling with a quite familiar terror brought on by world events.

Yesterday I hit a new low of 292.6.

I am feeling refreshed and ready these days, I hope you’ll enjoy this pleasant reflection on my recent thoughts and progress.

I’m happy to share this ‘filler’ update that’s not much more than just a snapshot of what’s on my mind at this stage.

It has been quite a struggle to share some thoughts lately.

I hope you’ll enjoy this attempt at a walking monologue in video.

For the last few weeks I’ve been floundering in a couple of ways.

Here is my video update for the year of 2025 and my new year’s resolutions.

If you can, please donate to support the project!

This off-the-cuff recording is an attempt to share the much broader context behind my ongoing transformation.

In this particular recording I have decided not to remove the background noise, in particular each step through the snow/ice/slush.

I hope you’ll enjoy this stream-of-consciousness reflection on the last crazy year as I prepare for 2026.

I’m rolling with the punches as I try to refine my plans for the new year.

I apologize for the audio quality of this particular recording, it didn’t turn out quite as I had hoped, but I believe it was still worth sharing an update.

I’m overjoyed to share that I’ve hit a new low of 333lbs.

This post is an attempt to navel-gaze on the finer points of self-hosting your own sites & services.

In this off-the-cuff recording I celebrate being back on the downtrend, and spend time reflecting on my concerns related to the politicization of health.

The last week has been a bit of a disaster.

Watch on PeerTube I’m thrilled to report that I’m comfortably below 350lbs.

Things have been challenging lately.

The long awaited Ghost 6.0 is OUT!

I was elated while recording this walking monologue.

I really would like your feedback on what features are essential for a desktop RSS reader to have in 2025!

Watch video on: Peertube I am thrilled to report that I have finally hit a major milestone: having lost over two hundred pounds.

Disclaimer: As always, this blog is about my perspective and understanding.

Glad to be back It has been too long since I’ve recorded my off-the-cuff walking monologues.

For the last week I’ve been thrust into a very involuntary rest period.

Does Gabriel still do tech or is it all just weight loss now?

Big Success!

Watch on PeerTube Looking back at the past I sat outside in a chair I recently wouldn’t fit in to record a video update.

This morning I went for a short walk and recorded some of my current feelings about my weight loss journey.

The hidden service (on Tor) for this site has been migrated to gabriel262me3lgv3w7xohtesg3laoojmtye644pwirhdm73qmedmsqd.onion.

I’ve deliberately avoided using denoiseit to clean the background noise because it would feel wrong to remove the birds singing.

I hope you’ll enjoy joining me on this walk where I talk about my recent struggles and successes.

Progress update I continue to make progress despite being incredibly beaten down emotionally, physically, and mentally.

Watch video on PeerTube or on Substack.

I spent some time reading through Lyle McDonald’s Training the Obese Beginner series.

2025 is off to a great start.

Feel free to listen to this off-the-cuff rant & reflection of my recent progress.

This is an off-the-cuff rant about some of the feelings I’ve been recently struggling with as I lose the weight.

Turning mass into moved mass There’s been quite a bit of snow recently.

Getting back in gear I recorded short walks before and after making my way to the pool.
