From alpha testing to the QUERCUS 200

I kind of assumed that the time change was an American phenomenon born of a blend of hubris and bureaucracy.

Work has been nuts and my stomach and back have been off and on terrible (food too). Yesterday was okay foodwise and I'm 292.4 this morning.
 
Sadly the US doesn't have a monopoly on either hubris or bureaucracy. Sorry about the nuttiness; any chance of it letting up soon?
 
0% chance LaMa.

That's rather odd Cory. I prefer to be alone as a country for dumb stuff. It helps me maintain a probably delusional modicum of hope for humanity.

Thanks Cate! I'm trying hard to make today the first of many.

295.4 this morning after an evening comprised largely of chips and sloth.

My stomach and sciatica hurt, works nuts for me and E for the foreseeable future, and our dryer died. All of these are the reasons why I have to take control of my health and why I'm failing to do so.
 
Urgh, that sucks. Sounds like a time when you need every ounce of health and energy you can get. Which means eating tasty, healthy food regularly and finding low-impact ways to destress. Question: what are the lowest-investment ways to arrange that?
 
Thanks for the encouragement LaMa, Cory, and Try!

I stayed in the rut last night, but I got our new dryer put in and loaded two old dryers in the truck to scrap on my lunch break today. All the loading and unloading wasn't great for my back. I ended up eating really late and hoovered up everything in site. 296.4 this morning.

I've restablished the habit of running a couple months back, I've come back here even though I'm not successful with my diet, and I've weighed regularly even though I knew it wasn' good news.

Now I will fix my eating habits. A few days of going to bed hungry and the worst of the adjustment is over. Today is day one one of going to bed hungry.

LaMa, I have lots of things already ready for me. Carving, cycling, a house full of books and great music. I have to establish the habit of engaging in these activities even when I'm spent at the end of each work day. Monday will be the big test for this because it is already filled with way more than I can get done.
 
Q, sometimes it's ok to do things in stages. I came back here before I had figured all my shit out again. I'm still working on it. I don't think I've actually lost any weight since I came back in January, but I am slowly re-improving my habits and I know it will start going the other direction soon.
 
That´s what you´re keeping a diary for, isn´t it? To write things down, look at them and see what´s already there. We´re just the cheer squad :)
 
That's exactly what we are- the cheer squad. None of us is perfect. There are no criteria for being here. You don't have to constantly & consistently lose weight. We're here to support one another & you don't have to be perfect to do that xo
 
You'r right Cory and thanks for reminding me.

LaMa, you've consistently cheered for me and it's greatly appreciated!

Thanks Cate! I do have to consistently lose weight. Not to be here on this forum, but to do my part on being here on this planet for a long time.

294.4 is two pounds down in a day, which is a great way to encourage me to go to bed hungry again tonight.
 
Thanks Cory!

I stayed at 294.4 Sunday and was up a pound this morning at 295.4. I had a flare up of gastritis yesterday and it's still going. I bloat when it flares up so that accounts for the gain. I did well with food all weekend.
 
295.2 and the stomach feels better. I overate last night. I didn't stay busy like I knew I needed to. I will succeed tonight.
 
Health more important than weight. Even though weight helps with the health, of course.
