From alpha testing to the QUERCUS 200

Your current situation sounds yucky but having a reason, and a temporary one at that, is awesome. So happy to hear the back is doing well!
 
I'm feeling much better. I walked and ran Friday. I ran a mile Saturday. I worked on cleaning out my shop all weekend. My back was quite sore Sunday so I took it easy and it's better today. Easy field work tomorrow. My diet has been pretty bad most of this past week. I'm being very conscious of my eating today. A new grocery opened up with lots of organics and vegan stuff and we went a bit wild trying stuff out. I'm ready to be back on track and rehab my life.
 
Thank you friends!

Last night was not good food wise. I believe I have found my motivation to get the food intake where it needs to be. I worry about what is going to happen with our newly elected official. To ensure that something good comes out of his first 100 days in office I am going to make and achieve a weightloss goal. I will weigh in tomorrow morning and my goal will either be to get below my all time low of 245.2 or lose 30 pounds by day 100. That's the last day of April by my count. The 30 will only be if 245 is unreasonable to achieve.
 
Marvellous idea Q. I can't see "that man" lasting the distance. The US is better than him- far, far better. Concentrating on our own personal health & well-being is way more important. Go you!
 
Thanks Sun! I love the term asshat and use it liberally.
Thanks LaMa! I cycle between empathy and disgust when I think of her. I know, having never met that man the asshat cheetoh in chief, that I don't want to share a planet with him. So my empathy capitulates to the reality that she chose (one assumes) to share a life with him.
Thanks Cate! It's so encouraging to see my sentiments echoed from someone from the outside looking in. I hope you're right on all counts!

So I believe we have international consensus that our current head of state is about as desirable as a prolapsed anus on a long horse ride over rough terrain.

So 279.6 this morning. Full disclosure, I ate a bit much of processed junk last night and LOTS of sodium. Not exactly sandbagging, but it makes 245 or less by the end of April more sensible.

So day 5 of 100, 0 of 34.6.
 
I think she worked very hard to get to where she is now. She wasn't a naive 18-year-old when she met him so I'm guessing they both get something they need out of the relationship.
 
LaMa, it makes me sad to see a person with little autonomy as an individual and more so to think they worked hard to achieve that status.

So 278.4 this morning on day 6 of 100. 1.2 of 34.6 pounds. 3.5% of the weightloss with 6% of the time. No surprise that I am behind since I got a late start. Now to close the gap.
 
You can do this, buddy. Now that the pain is under control I´m sure you´ll be back to fat-burning engine very soon!

Good news, you share that opinion with our CEO - he had his company-wide Town Hall Meeting and was refreshingly blunt. Zero alternative facts were presented when asked how he likes him. I think you know who I work for, and can probably come to conclusions as to why he's not a fan.
 
Thanks LaMa! I can, but I sure didn't last night.

I hope that I am occasionally described by others as refreshingly blunt LJ.

280.4 which is a big jump above my starting weight Wednesday. No excuse. I ate too much and too much salt and processed garbage. I have to do better.

The only bright spot was a mile run.

No excuse but perhaps a reason? Having trouble convincing your body to commit to a consistent deficit again? Feeling deprived up front? Politically frustrated? Knowing your demons helps if you want to conquer them. Or, you know, hang out with them without risking waking up in the gutter.
 
I'll go with D. All of the above.

I know those are the reasons, but they don't excuse my behavior so I didn't voice them. I am acutely aware of them however. I'm not happy with my choice, but it's done and I won't excuse or abuse myself over it. Present me knows future me will absolve my poor choices with better ones or make future me more stressed and unhealthy. I'm here struggling or not for the full 100 days and beyond.
 
Things will click for you soon Q. I'm sure they will. I can't imagine you giving up. Hang in there buddy xoxo
