In a nutshell: I secured some freelance/contract gigs, booked an upcoming vacation to Japan, and only this week found out that my last day at my current job will be September 21st. I have yet to secure a new permanent job, but I have four months in which to do so.

I am still watching my carb intake, although anyone on Atkins Induction would scoff at my 100g of net carbs per day. Combined with 150+ daily grams of protein and 25g of fiber, though, it's gotten me back under 200 lbs.

Thanks for staying subscribed, all 200 of you — I greatly appreciate it. I'm not counting out the possibility of returning to the podcast scene, once I secure a new job and everything is settled back into normalcy... but that could be a while. In the meantime, there are plenty of low-carb resources to fill the gap. After all, I started this podcast because there were no other active low-carb podcasts out there back in October of 2005. And now there are.

Thanks again to all of you!
