Missing Days
Was just bad about making a log the last two days. Friday I had trouble focusing (probably related to not doing the planning pomodoro), and yesterday was more-or-less a productive chore day.

Thinking
I've updated my cronometer calorie plan. Change the setting from "lose 2 pounds a week" to "maintain weight". The 1000-calorie daily deficit was so unreachable for current me that I would blow past it and then suddenly be at a 1000-calorie surplus. Yesterday was the first day of "maintain weight" setting, and I managed a 500 calorie deficit.
The new goal is to have the calorie rules at a setting such that I don't have "negative" calories "remaining". Need to transition to a stable relationship with food. 1000-calorie deficits always meant cheating on weekends. Now the goal is no cheating at all, and very slow, gradual weight-loss (if any).
I'm also trying to be better about counting the calories before ingesting the food, as I'd been a bit too backlog happy (which hurts accuracy as I often don't weigh backlogged food).
End of day note: Today didn't go according to plan as far as the time-of-action goes, but overall I managed to do the things I planned to do, so it's close enough. Cooking ended up happening in the morning, and side-project pomodoros happened right before call with friend.
