Arrows Aligning

Wednesday, November 3, 2021

All of the arrows are aligning in the proper direction.  Weight down.  Exercise up.  How I feel up.  Clothes fitting up.  Mood up.  The day is just getting started of course and it could all turn to **** but the first few hours have been good.

I'm not too surprised by the weight (other than by the size of the drop) since I let a lot of additional water go.  Turns out a low carb dinner is good for aiding that process.  I may need to be just a little restrictive on the weekends and maybe there is more yet that would flush out.  Anyway, new low for the year.  Yay.

It was hard getting up this morning - I was sound asleep and dreaming when the alarm went off which has not been the case lately.  Was about 15 minutes late getting out the door but I made it.  And the walk was the most issue-free one I have had yet - no physical complaints, didn't feel strained, it went by quickly and without incident.  It wasn't the full distance yet but it was more than Monday.  No aches or pains is a very very good thing.  There were notably fewer people out, I guess cold will do that.

Tried on the next shirt size down and holy cow, they fit.  I could wear them.  I probably won't, not until I lose more, but I did start the process of getting them washed.  I think this is also going to give me some things to purge - either because I've saved shirts in marginal condition or that I otherwise won't wear, and once I'm comfortably in that size I'm getting rid of the biggest size ones.  Win-win.  I'm wearing the next size down pants this morning too for the first time, not too many pounds to go before the next one (and last on hand!).  I won't even mind if I have to buy some new smaller clothes someday.  That's probably fifty pounds away or more though, I can wear oversize stuff for a while.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup

Lunch:  Hamburger soup, HSCR toast w butter

This is not a recording.  But it is working.  Soup is much better after freezing, dunno why.

Dinner:  Taco salad, 12 oz All Day IPA

Once again, the same as yesterday.  I'm out of stuff now though, so tomorrow will be different.

Exercise:  Walk, 1.6 miles, 39 minutes.  Same route I did on 10/26, same time more or less.  I am still very slow - not to the point yet where I have pep but I was definitely closer today.
