198 this morning down 1 lb from yesterday. I've been on a see-saw with my weight these last few months. Largely jumping from 196-204. For instance yesterday I was 199 and the day before 197... Add to that the fact that I think our scale at home is a bit on the not so reliable side and I take it with a grain of salt. Fact is I think I stay more focused on how many holes I get to pass over on my belt. 1 is a fat day and 2 is pretty good. When I see 3 I'll know I've made some significant progress.

I've started drinking coffee in the morning. Mostly cold, with probably way too much sugar. The upside is that I get to work ready to roll instead of coming in and sluggishly start working. It pushes my need to eat food back a bit which makes my food last more of the day and keeps me from being ravenous when I get home. Then adding a cup after dinner seems to keep me from crashing at 7 pm in a chair. I think I've accomplished more this week than I have in a good long time. The down side is that I don't really feel tired enough to go to bed till well after midnight, though when I do go to bed I seem to go to sleep a lot faster.

I haven't fasted in almost a month. I'm going to have to do that Monday. The real good health news I received of late was:


My Cholesterol is down! I think it's due to two things. Fasting and the fact that I discovered that canned soup veggies largely don't taste like veggies. I'm not a veggie fan, but I'm trying to make the best choices and changes I can in my life. If not for myself then to provide a better example for my son.
