I went on a walk to soak in some sunshine despite the cold. Feel free to listen to me ramble on as I go on a walk. I touch on my recent wins in my weight loss journey, and zoom all the way out to the wild conspiracies I consider. These recordings are primarily recorded for my own benefit, so only a light amount of editing is done.
Scale go down!
I’ve hit a new low! I’m thrilled to be under 470lbs. It’s wild to think it wasn’t that long ago I was over 500. Looking back on my charts it looks like I’ve successfully been able to ’lock-in’ and be fully back-on-track despite Winter being difficult. I am optimistic that I can successfully lose more weight this month than last December.
Looking at the long-term chart, it really seems like I’m back to being somewhat in line with the progress I’ve been making since the start. While maintaining 1lb per day is not within reach yet, I’m hoping to return to it this Summer! I’m more confident than before that I can make the best of the nicer weather once it returns.
Micro-fast
Yesterday was a roller-coaster & whirlwind at once. A very busy day and a very challenging day, but I realized that I was no longer letting stress determine my apatite. I felt like I could hold off without eating that day. Short of a limited amount of peanuts I was able to endure the day and get to sleep at night, I feel like I succeeded. I’m in no rush to make this a regular occurrence, but it’s gratifying to feel more control over my hunger and impulses.
Cool food tracking app
I’ve started tracking food with a FOSS Android app called Energize. I like how it gives you macro-nutrient targets and interesting micro-nutrient reports. I hope to make regular use of it! Being able to tack protein & fiber easier is great!
New Watch
I acquired a smartphone-free fitness wearable. It’s a simple watch with a pedometer and some timer functions. I’m hoping to use it to focus on getting a good amount of steps on a regular basis. The alarm function on it doesn’t wake me up, but I’m hoping it eventually does. Eventually, I hope to use some of the parts I have lying around and build my own heart-rate monitor, but I’ll admit I’ve struggled to prioritize that little side-project.
