Thinking

Been a while since I made some time to think.

Been weighing in at 218.6 in the morning. Not a great sign. Weigh 215.6 after bathroom shenanigans, though. Been slowly working on my diet, but also been really hungry since the 6.7-mile run to my therapist appointment back on Tuesday (was also sore up until today). Maybe it was a normal bump in weight gain due to the exercise.

We'll see. I still have the goal of being below 210 by the end of this month.

According to my calorie counting, I should be on-track for losing 1 pound a week. And to be fair, one pound a week since I started counting calories would only put me as low as 215.... Wow, been counting calories for 4 weeks. Didn't realize.

Actually, my averages over the last 4 weeks only put me at about a 80-calorie deficit per day. Which is 2240 calories burnt since the start of calorie counting, which is 0.64 pound. Which is actually pretty close to my tracked weight loss, if I trust these first-in-the-morning numbers (which I do, I think).

I just need to eat less. Simple as that.

I have some ideas on where to cut calories, as well. Just need to build the neural net habit for it. And this week I'm doing a pretty good job. The last 7 days I'm at a 500-calorie deficit per day as planned. There are certain packaged foods I like to eat that if I avoid I can keep my numbers where they need to be (I'm talking about Cliff builder's protein bars).

Another skipped log yesterday. Because I was sick last weekend, gave my wife both weekend days. We went to Wayward Coffeehouse and walked around the University of Washington campus a bit. Went and tried out the impossible whopper. It was pretty good. Might do that every once in a while going forward. Also, did a facial mask thing with my wife at the end of the day.

Yesterday, weight was 218.4, and this morning back to 215.6. I'll be back to more exercise starting tomorrow (I'll be running 5 miles to morning therapy appointment).

I had trouble falling asleep last night. I also went back to bed after alarm at 0500 this morning. Which was a bit frustrating for a variety of reasons. I have turned back on my phone 0505 alarm as a backup.

Helping my wife wake up at 0810 this morning. So working from home until then.

I have successfully woken up at 0500 again!

This morning's weigh-in was 215.6. I think I can be back on my way to losing weight. Should still be below 210 by the end of this month, and below 200 by the end of the year.

I'm back!

No backlog. It's not valuable. If future me is curious, he can read this log. I got sick starting Friday. I was recovering until yesterday, wherein I got in a normal day of work, but with my sleep schedule slightly off.

I beat Celeste thru the C-sides while sick.

I had some late fees on library books as I couldn't bother to return books whilst sick. I had to pay a whomping $0.50.

Whilst I was sick I was still losing weight, but after yesterday's "normal" day, I weighed in this morning at 218.6. Which makes sense, I was eating a lot of calories and not getting in much exercise.

Gym routine will return once I'm waking up at 0500 again (which is hopefully Sunday).

I have maintained no Twitter, even thru being sick. What really helped is that I have a list of webcomics that I abandoned in April of last year (when I quit reddit). Once Celeste no longer held sway, I simply brushed off Questionable Content, and started up where I left off.

I now have yesterday's comic linked in my wunderlist. And I can wait a year or so again before I start. I have a variety of comics I can read like this. This is a good use of webcomics, I think.

216.2 pounds this morning. 213.8 after bathroom shenanigans.

There was an event last night with a friend, so I ended up getting to sleep a bit late. 6.5 hours of sleep according to fitbit. Not sure how I feel about how inconsistent my sleep length is. I want it to be at least 7.5 hours per night most nights. Something to work towards.

6 pomodoros yesterday.... But with 2 meetings eating my time that's technically reasonable.

No gaming this morning, but I had considered it. Not sure if good or bad that I didn't. We'll see how I feel come tomorrow's thinking.

Time for gym.

214.2 pounds this morning. That's pretty good. Eating well under my budget is going smoothly. I should have more than enough for a cheat day on Sunday.

Sleep was normal last night (Fitbit reported 7.5 hours of sleep). We'll see how nap goes.

9 pomodoros yesterday, but 4 of them were not the assigned task. Had I focused on the assigned task, I'd probably have running code by today that I could start building on.

Been getting to this planning pomodoro a bit late these past couple days. Really shouldn't watch YouTube or play games before it. But also, not really hurting anything? When I'm at home later in the day, doing solo entertainment activities takes away from time that I can spend with wife. It may be good to move these things around. Though, a later start to the day means coming home later from work.... So, same difference as far as time with wife goes?

I think qualitatively it's different, though, as now when I get home it's habit to sit down and talk with wife and decide on things to do. And I'm not craving alone time as much. I'll allow this for a bit and decide later.

Time for gym.

Had trouble falling asleep last night. It was a bit warm, that may have been why. Still woke up at 0500, though, so hopefully it's all good. Had trouble napping yesterday as well, so I'm trying it later in the day again. It may have been the longer amount of sleep that contributed to both. We'll see how it goes today.

Productivity yesterday was at a solid 8 pomodoros. I think I'm getting back into the groove. I have even stopped listening to audiobooks and/or podcasts. Back to music. This time, lyricless music.

Time to head to the gym.
