Wow! My overeating high-calorie foods manifested itself big time today. So much high-fat foods: peanut butter, cheese, sausage. And, lots of 'em (especially cheese. I'm cheese-free for a couple of days). I'm going to have to be very careful (unusually careful, I'm always careful) about what I eat today. Maybe do more movement, too.

Nice to end the week with a loss, however small, on Friday. I have been following an intermittent fasting schedule, typically eating within an 8-hour window, for about three weeks now, without changing my meals at all, and am down about two-and-a-half pounds. Not bad given how sedentary I am.
