At the beginning of 2022, I weighed 270 pounds. I looked like shit and was in HORRIBLE health.

I set a goal in April to weigh 170 pounds (just under normal BMI for my height) by the end of the year.

As of today, I weigh 176.7 pounds.

So I didn't make it. But I came real close. Image For a direct comparison, the pic on the left is what I looked like about a year ago. Literally so bloated I could barely zip my coat up and was starting to bust the buttons on that shirt.

The pic on the right, from yesterday's livestream, is what I look like now. ImageImage

A bunch of people have asked me to write about the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict since I lived in the region for years and know it well. I stopped following the news months ago, but here you go.

CAVEAT EMPTOR: take what I write (and everything on this site) with a grain of salt. Scanning Armenian, Azeri, Russian news sources. What I can see so far:

Despite the Russian ceasefire, there are still multiple clashes between Azeri and Armenian forces all along the border. (NOTE: this is NOT Nagorno-Karabakh. The Azeris are trying to invade Armenia itself.)
