Diet Comment

A nice loss over the weekend, and now I'm back in the 'new normal' range. I'm a little surprised, because after receiving a Father's Day gift from Alex of an assortment of nuts, I went a little nuts on them (sorry). I just couldn't stop eating them, probably more than a pound! And yet...

No change, which is understandable given that every night this week I have end-loaded my caloric consumption. It's a bad pattern for weight loss.

Diet Comment

Oof - that's a noticeable 1-day gain. Last night's two-plus hour eating marathon, which included lots of calories and some carbs, and a lack of my usual amount of hydration, is responsible, I think. I'm going to have to take it a bit easier on the food today.

I think the improvement I've made to my sleeping - a decades-long problem, but I've gone from an average of around five hours a night to eight - may be responsible for this extended weight loss. To be honest, I have no other explanation.
