Thursday

I was wrong, all the times before.  This week is the longest ever on record.  Unbelievable how long it is dragging on - but how often does one live through a week that is the last week at one job and the week prior to a week's vacation involving Mardi Gras, all at once?  Because of the former, I have very little to do at work, and I'm a bit stressy, what with jumping off into the unknown and all.  That leaves me brain-tired in the evenings, when I need some energy to do things like pack for the trip.  And prevents sleep, which compounds everything.  So I'm kind of a mess right now.

Weight went back to 147.0 this morning.  Here's yesterday's eating:

• tea with cream
• the usual supplements
• salad with chicken and cheese and bacon in it
• balsamic vinaigrette
• a half-pound of smoked turkey
• cole slaw
• walnuts
• chocolate cherries

That was it.   Seems like I could have lost more, with only eating that, but I think I'm fighting all the factors listed above right now, and need them to calm down a bit. 

I also realized this morning that part of my sleeping problems have to do with the room being too warm - I'd shut my normally-open window last week when it was so windy out, and had forgotten to re-open it.  Fixed now, so I am hoping that tonight will be better.
