Friday

I slept pretty soundly last night. Woke very briefly shortly after 2 am and was able to get right back to sleep, which is good. Slept leaning on my too-full bladder, which bowed my spine, which is bad. So when the alarm went off at 6 and awakened me (good!), I could barely move (bad!). 

It sorted itself out. I'm fine now, but it was fairly painful early on. I really need to just get up and go, even if it is chilly in the house.

159.8 tonight. Yesterday evening ended in a fistful of salted peanuts, so I'm not too surprised. Here's yesterday to the best of my ability to recall:

• tea with cream
  
• lemon jello water
  
• the usual supplements
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• pork sausage
  
• 4-6 almond flour chocolate chip cookies
  
• a bunch of grapes
  
• 2 pieces of cheddar
  
• a small bowl of cashews
  
• chicken caesar salad with roasted chicken and no croutons (Boston Market)
  
• 2 pips of milk chocolate Ritter Sport bar with coconut filling
  
• the aforementioned handful of peanuts
  

Long list. Almost always indicative of weight gain. 

I was thinking this morning after stepping off the scale that I'm not trying very hard right now - not taking the effort to lose weight or straighten the diet out very seriously. Nor I am. I'm not looking at a "burning platform" situation with my current weight, and I haven't managed to do anything to make me think that keeping really clean would continue some momentum - which is to say, I've not got any momentum. Something to think about, for sure. So we should eat from home tonight, right? I hope so. Bought a bunch of meat yesterday - pork tenderloins and pot roasts - and we could have some of it for dinner. Probably the former, since they're so easy.

Oh, and we have adopted another dog today; Facebook is dangerous. He showed up on a friend's feed as being hours from being put down, and now that we're close, it was impossible not to do anything. We get him Sunday after he's been fixed, and I really hope he and our current two get along. He's 2, and smaller than both of them, so I'd imagine they'll be able to work things out. 

Thursday

Mexican food yesterday. Chips and queso. Enchiladas. And a margarita. I don't do well with discipline in a Mexican restaurant.

159.0 this morning. I wasn't surprised. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• lemon jello water
  
• the usual supplements
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• sausage patties
  
• 2 pieces of cheddar
  
• a small bowl of cashews
  
• about 4 cookies
  
• chips and salsa and queso
  
• a margarita
  
• cheese enchiladas with Suiza sauce (tomatillos)
  
• bits of refried beans and rice
  
• a square of dark chocolate
  

There may have been more. I'm not sure. 

Sleep was okay - or would have been; I didn't wake up - except for the fact that our sheets came loose and I spent a lot of time fighting them. One launch for a leg cramp, but at 10:30, so I got back to sleep and slept through until about 5:30. Really not bad, but I feel a bit tired today.

Overall swelling and pain is better. I haven't got rid of all of it, but my feet are feeling a bit better today. I took an Epsom Salts bath last night before bedtime, and I think that also helped a bit.

Still no morning walks. We're just not there yet.

Wednesday

Sleep was better last night; at least, I didn't wake up until almost 4. Leg cramps. One per leg, but the calf-cramp ones, stomp-out-able. It took about an hour to get back to sleep, but I was out right about 5, and slept through the alarm, more or less, waking up for real around 6:30. I think that adds up to 8 hours, pretty much.

Bodyaches from last week's fall are starting to ebb, finally. The arnica seems to be helping a lot. The toes on my left foot are better, but still bruised and swollen right at the base, which isn't fabulous. My quads are functional again, and that's a huge deal.

158.0 this morning, water, most of it. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• lemon jello water
  
• the usual supplements
  
• scrambled eggs with ham and cheese
  
• 2 pieces of cheddar
  
• a total of 4 almond flour chocolate chip cookies
  
• a few peanuts
  
• greek-marinated chicken breast
  
• greek salad with salami and feta and vinaigrette
  
• small bowl of Haagen-Dasz strawberry
  

That was it. The cramps certainly point toward a return of ketosis, and that's a pretty low-carb day. Eating at home is key, I think. It's so much easier to control it here.

I was hoping, a few weeks ago, to start seeing some improvements in how I'm feeling from a return to proper eating. It's a bit too soon to tell, but I'm feeling a bit less logy, even with scruffy sleep right now. And my skin is smoothing out - the keratosis pilaris that I developed at Mom and Dad's house is going away. That could be the increased humidity, certainly, but I think it's dietary, since it went away shortly after we originally went Paleo. 

Onward! Haven't figured dinner out yet, but I will, and it will be healthy. And I have 2 chicken carcases in the freezer, and need to get going on some stock. Probably this weekend.

Tuesday

Sleep last night started out better, but my leg cramped up again - same place as the previous night, so unmanageable - at 3:30. Did the magnesium oil thing again, and fell back asleep pretty quickly. Only to be awakened to a crashing noise around 5 (I think) as one of the suction-cup baskets in the shower took a dive. It's just a little too lively around here at night.

158.6 this morning. My feet are still pretty swollen and my ankles stiff; I expect other parts are as well. I hunted down the arnica yesterday and put it on the swollen places and bruises, and it seems to be helping with the latter, at least. 

Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• sausage patties
  
• a Gatorade
  
• cheddar cheese (2 pieces)
  
• a total of 4 almond-flour chocolate chip cookies through the day
  
• a 1/4-lb hamburger patty
  
• salad with blue cheese dressing
  
• small bowl of strawberry ice cream
  
• a few peanuts
  

Better. Definitely less snacky and overall lower carb. Again, today's goal is 3 cookies in total, and the plan is to fast lunch. I am noticing that my appetite is diminished, a bit.

I don't know if the Gatorade helped or not. I went back to lemon jello water this morning after forgetting it yesterday, and threw a pinch of sea salt into it, for a few more minerals. So I probably won't do Gatorade today.

No sleep means no walk in the mornings. Which sucks, but I wake up just wiped out after nights like that. Try again tomorrow. And in the meantime, I may go get an aspirin or two - I've re-applied the arnica, but am pretty achy.

Monday

That fall on Friday was longer-lasting than I hoped it would be - I'm still feeling after-effects. If I had to guess, I strained my left knee and sprained the last 3 toes on that foot - the tendons along the top of the foot that operate those toes. Nothing really bad, but some pain and bruises and swelling. In addition, my quads acted all weekend as if they'd been stretched and allowed to snap back - and had stayed snapped back. Very stiff and painful right above both knees. They're better this morning.

159.4. What with all the swelling I'm dealing with, I can't say what my actual weight is right now. I ate pretty well yesterday, though. Here's the day:

• tea with cream
  
• a few peanuts
  
• a salad with turkey and avocado and maybe cheese, ranch dressing
  
• one french fry
  
• ham
  
• baked sweet potato with butter and sour cream
  
• 4-5 almond flour chocolate chip cookies
  

I think that's it. I can't say that I'm in ketosis - mostly because I haven't found the test strips recently after our move - but I'm seeing a reduction in appetite. So maybe.

Sleep last night was great until I got an unmanageable cramp in the outside of my left calf/shin area - one that I couldn't stomp off. I had to get up around 3 am and root around in the bathroom for the magnesium oil; it worked, but made my leg all sticky the rest of the night - and once I was awake, I couldn't ignore the pain in my legs. Sigh. I don't know if it will help or hurt, but I'm having a Gator-Ade today to try to improve my electrolytes - something is out of balance.

We did go for a walk yesterday morning - about a mile and a half, I think. And did a lot of stairs, moving un-hung pictures into temporary storage while we figure out what else to hang. I hit goal on my FuelBand - and then some.

The cookies may prove to be an issue - I hope not, and they hit the spot last night. I think I will revert to my pre-Christmas discipline from year 1 of Paleo and limit myself to 3 per day, to be eaten in whatever combination I like, but once the 3 are gone, I'm done for the day.

We have signed up for the program that will give us gym access at the Junior College across the street, so now we just need to find it and find out how to use it.

Friday

Ugh. 159.8 this morning. Not good. Another day of progress to start with, that disintegrated toward nighttime. As I had thought when at my parents' house, evening snacking is probably one of my issues. And I did a goodish bit of it yesterday.

Here's the day:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements
  
• lemon jello water
  
• 2 hot dogs with mustard
  
• about 10 tortilla chips
  
• a mini Ritter-Sport milk chocolate bar with yogurt filling
  
• probably some almonds
  
• a pork chop
  
• smashed cheesy cauliflower - about 1/3 of a head of cauliflower
  
• 4 "pips" of a full sized Ritter-Sport milk chocolate bar with coconut filling
  
• a single-serve vanilla Haagen-Dasz
  

Lots of sugar. Seems to be an issue these days.

I need to do a few things.

1. have a serious talk with Lee about lunch, since we're both at home. I don't eat it, and as much as I appreciate his thoughtfulness in making it for me, it's making me gain weight.
2. Not eat unless I'm actually hungry. This is a big problem right now.
3. Stop with the effing candy, already. Geez.

So, today, we ate at Cracker Barrel, and I found out that it's possible to get their low-carb double-meat breakfast even if it's not on the menu, so that's what I had. 3 eggs, about 6 bacon. Should be enough food to last until dinner, as long as I don't cave into boredom. If work ever slows down, that is. Bad morning.

What else? I fell down the stairs this morning - basically did the Wile E. Coyote step off the second step as if I'd already hit the ground floor. Twisted my left knee and toes. Seems not to be seriously damaged, but achy. Feels like I banged my right elbow in the drop, as well.

Sleep was actually quite good. Woke up at 5:48 because we got a reverse-911 call on our cellphones about a bear in our old neighborhood.  But that was the first waking of the night. Quite nice, I think.

Glad I thought through what was needed. I am going to try to resist the munchies tonight, see if that helps. I can't guarantee that I will be able to skip lunch, but I hope I'll be able to. 

Thursday

This week has whizzed by so far. Things are starting to get put away where we can find them again (always nice!), and a routine is developing.

I did really well eating yesterday. Until dinner. 159.0 this morning. I need to get my stuff together. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• lemon jello water
  
• cheese
  
• almonds
  
• a mini Ritter bar with yogurt
  
• chips and salsa and "green sauce" (sour cream and jalapenos)
  
• a chicken fajita salad with a dressing similar to the green sauce (with more tortilla strips in it)
  
• a margarita (it was not a good day)
  
• 4 "pips" of Hershey's special dark chocolate bar with almonds
  

I think that was it. I didn't stint on the chips, I'm afraid. The margarita wasn't helpful, either. Up to that point, I'd had a very low carb day.

Sleep last night was good. I switched to a 1-hour playlist on my iPod, and had to use it twice, but fell back asleep both times quite quickly - and did NOT reawaken when it ended. So I'll stick with that for now. One thing I'm noticing here; I'm getting quite chilly as bedtime approaches. With the AC set on 70. It's very helpful in falling asleep, I think. We have not put the mattress pad heater on our bed yet - it certainly shouldn't be needed in a climate where 100 is far from unknown - and maybe I will resist using it even this winter, if we put it back at all.

I do still feel puffy and sore. I've doubled up on anti-inflammatories at vitamin time - 2 fish oil and 2 turmeric. Not helping much. Which leads me to think we got a lot of commercial seed oil and other inflammatory stuff over the past few months, and it's taking a while to work them out. I hope that's all it is. I'd like to feel better.

Wednesday

Nothing like starting a day out with a fit of blinding rage. Never mind the substance; it had to do with work. And I've talked it out, and, more importantly, done something practical about it.

158.8 today; got rid of a few more drops of water, I'd say. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements
  
• lemon jello water
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• bacon
  
• cheese
  
• almonds
  
• a single handful of cashews
  
• a pound of ground beef with taco seasoning, with sour cream, cheese, salsa on
  
• 4 "pips" of a dark chocolate almond bar
  

That was it. I spent the evening hanging pictures around the house, and got the dining room done, and probably the entry hall. Had the TV on but didn't watch it. 

My original idea for dinner was a taco salad, but what I ended up with was a sort of Chipotle bowl thing - no lettuce. I just wasn't in the mood to deal with it. What I made was pretty tasty, and I ate all of it.

Sleep was weird. I fell asleep easily enough, but woke up at midnight on the dot. And again around 3. Fell back asleep both times no problem (with radio assistance), and woke again when the alarm went off. I took Magnesium, melatonin, and aspirin before bed. My left hip is bugging me pretty fiercely these days, and I'm sure it was the culprit at least once last night - the other possibility is that I didn't hear the radio anymore, which would be a bad reason to wake up. I may try switching back to my iPod and the WWII broadcasts for a while; see if they work better as a "sleep-to-music" option.

Tuesday

Bad sleep, better weight. 

At bedtime last night, I realized, after the lights were out, that I'd not taken Magnesium or Melatonin - or, perhaps more importantly, aspirin. But it was cold, and I was tired, so I didn't get up and take them. I think I should have.

Woke at 3 am, or just before, and was awake until 5. Slept until the alarm went off, and sort of, for the hour that the radio plays. I don't feel too awful, except for the aches and pains. Which are mostly from painting last night again. As to that, the room is finished and looks much better now, with the second coat of paint on it. It had been okay yesterday, but a lot of the green was still visible. It's gone now.

159.0 this morning. Got rid of a lot of water yesterday, but, based on the aches and pains this morning, not all of it. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements (extra Turmeric for inflammation)
  
• lemon jello water
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• bacon
  
• almonds
  
• cheese (I think 5 pieces total)
  
• 5 corn tortilla chips
  
• about 5 strawberries
  
• a small steak
  
• salad with blue cheese dressing
  
• two mini Ritter chocolates - one with yogurt, one with hazelnuts
  

I think that was it. Tonight, I think I'm having a taco salad, something Lee's not crazy about. But since he's going to be eating dinner in New Orleans and I'm on my own, no worries there.

Anyway, with a little "me" time, maybe I can get my head around better eating. That, and getting some pictures hung.

Monday

I would rather not say that I weigh 160.4 this morning, but that is what the scale said. For what it's worth, I'm swollen and stiff from painting yesterday (changed the color of the office walls from olive green to cream), so it's probably less than that, but not much less.

Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• bacon
  
• the usual supplements
  
• cheddar cheese
  
• a double quarter-pounder with cheese, no bun
  
• half of a bona-fide "small" fries (the paper envelope)
  
• salted peanuts
  
• 2 hot dogs with mustard
  
• corn on the cob with butter (1 ear)
  

I think that was it. We had a very active weekend; walked on Saturday morning and again at a local mega-mall. Did the painting and helped build metal garage shelving yesterday. Replaced a light fixture in the kitchen and put up towel rings in the bathroom.

We are making progress with the house. Before we got in, I was saying that the kitchen was the first target for paint, but after spending 2 weeks in the office, feeling underwater with the green walls and the green shadows from the magnolia tree in the back yard, it took precedence. The kitchen, also green, is next. We chose a color from the "orange whites" section, and when I saw it in the can, I thought I'd truly blown it (it read peach in the can), but on the walls, it's a fairly normal cream color. Lots lighter than the green, and warmer. Much more pleasant. Unfortunately, 1 gallon wasn't enough to get thorough coverage; we got another can last night and I think that's my evening work tonight. Or tomorrow, since Lee's going to New Orleans tomorrow.

We are also painting the built-in desk in this room. Not using it, because the knee-hole area is so low that I either messed up my knees (banging into it) or my back (from sitting too low). But it's currently a super-dark brown, so dark that we have to use a light to find things sitting on it. When we are done, it's going to be white.

Sleep continues to be surprisingly good. I had a bad night Friday night (woke up achy and should have taken aspirin right away; 2 hours of thrashing), but then slept in (!) until after 8. I never sleep in - simply haven't been able to for a long time. And then Saturday night, while I woke briefly a couple of times, I got right back to sleep, and woke up around 7, which made that 10 hours of sleep. Maybe I'm finally starting to get some of the sleep debt repaid.

So I'm not seriously worrying about weight just this moment. I am trying to get the garbage out of my diet, work on reducing inflammation overall. I finally managed to get my gelatin restarted this morning, and think that will help with the aches and pains. And we will be joining the gym shortly as well - and can start lifting a bit. I think that will help with lots of things.

Friday

I just need to stop eating cashews. And I did stop last night - eventually. Just not soon enough. 159.8 this morning; pretty sure it's all water, because the cashews we have at the house just now are really salty. Which also makes them more addictive.

Stress-snacking last night, right in the middle of a deployment. Need to get a grip, here.

In any event, here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements
  
• scrambled eggs with ham and cheese
  
• more cheese
  
• cashews (these during the day)
  
• low-carb crust pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and peppers
  
• a tiny Ritter Sport milk chocolate bar with "praline"
  
• more cashews
  

I think that was it. We had an "at home" evening last night, doing nothing until 9, when my work began. It ran until about midnight, I think; could have been worse. And I got to sleep fairly quickly, and slept well - except for some leg cramps at some point that had me out of bed.

Probably a busy weekend ahead - we may even paint a room. And more dinners at home, I hope.

Thursday

Interesting. 157.8 this morning, after yesterday's 159.0. I truly didn't think it was water yesterday. But we did eat saner (more sanely?) last night, so maybe that helped. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• bacon
  
• cheese
  
• a very little bit of trail mix (the last of it)
  
• grapes
  
• meat loaf (made with potato starch)
  
• salad with blue cheese dressing
  
• a square of milk chocolate (1-1/2" square of RitterSport with hazel nuts)
  
• an individual Haagen-Dasz vanilla
  

That was it. Better stuff overall. 

Sleep since the move has been generally much improved. No idea why. Maybe the consistent temperature has helped. But I'm waking up having slept enough for more, if that makes sense. I would very much like to curl up for about a week's worth at some point. Some of it is a back ache, I think; I get ones that make me very sleepy. The rest is probably a huge sleep debt from all these years of menopause night-sweats and insomnia. I can't say that they won't return; shoot, they probably will. But for now, I'm getting sleep, and I'm trying my best to take advantage of it.

Exercise still to come. Not sure what form it will take.

Tuesday

159.0 this morning. Bother. Because it's not likely water at this point. Restaurants, more likely; we've been eating out a lot. Here's yesterday:

- tea with cream
- the usual supplements
- scrambled eggs with ham and cheese
- a pork sausage patty
- trail mix (cashews, almonds, peanuts, M&Ms)
- cheese
- chicken with cream sauce including ham, tomatoes, and mushrooms
- fried potatoes (not many)
- black-eyed peas with sausage and peppers (not many)

I think that was it. The trail mix is done, now. I think I need to get back into avoiding lunch, or just having something small and low-carb. And dining at home, on cleaner food.

And getting some walking in. We haven't quite managed that yet. But soon.

Monday

We ate reasonably well on the road. Turns out that a Sonic drive-in is the perfect solution to road-trip-with-dogs in a hot climate (where you can't leave the dog in the car alone). For eating anyway. I was able to sit in their little slot and peel the burger bits off the bun. But I also ate the fries. And cashew-almond-M&M trail mix. Had a chicken salad with apples and cranberries for dinner (Whattaburger) - not at all bad!

Sleep the last 2 nights has been less than perfect, but I guess not awful; I woke up both nights with one of the lower back aches that feels like sheer exhaustion, and last night, stayed awake for a while trying to figure out why, if I was so damned tired, I couldn't fall back asleep. Finally took some aspirin, and I think, once it took effect, got back to sleep.

158.6 this morning; I guess that's not a complete surprise. Here's yesterday:

• a Clif bar (my sister's idea of healthy food does not match mine, but the La Quinta's breakfast failed both of us, and she had brought Clif bars for car snacks and I was hungry)
  
• chips and salsa
  
• "pollo con queso" at the local tex-mex joint (not wholly un-Primal, but I had chips)
  
• hamburger patty
  
• salad with blue cheese dressing
  
• a single-serve Haagen-Dasz strawberry ice cream
  

That was it. And this morning, we are trying to get ourselves back on track. The plan tonight is to have the other 2 burger patties (Lee cooked 4) with sauteed mushrooms in a Stroganoff type sauce. And more salad. And probably go grocery shopping after, for some other meat so we can keep cooking here.

Friday

Good sleep, less pain, weight down this morning. 157.8, and I don't think I'm done with the water just yet.

Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements
  
• cheese
  
• grapes (which I forgot to list yesterday)
  
• giant hunk of Red Snapper with crawfish, shrimp, mushrooms and butter sauce (I think the fish was lightly breaded, but I tried to eat around it)
  
• green beans in the same butter sauce
  

That was it. Really good dinner; that butter sauce was to die for. I think I may become a seafood eater after all.

We did less work yesterday; my contribution was getting beds made and installing the second of our thermostats. The house is organized enough for the dogs, and that was the main goal for this week.

Flying to Denver this afternoon; driving back tomorrow. Should be fun - I hope!

Thursday

The aches and pains won last night; I woke up at 3:15ish, became alert enough to wonder if we'd left groceries out of the fridge all night, and got up to check. Promptly walked into the bedframe with my left leg (this is actually fairly common for me). I took aspirin at the time, but it never quite worked, so that's when I woke up this morning. At least I don't have to commute.

159.0. Still stiff and sore; if I have enough presence of mind, I'll have to check my weight on my parents' scale on Saturday morning before heading back here. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• bacon
  
• 3 slices of cheese
  
• chef's salad (ham and turkey and cheese) with blue cheese dressing
  
• an Aunt Sally's praline
  

I was slightly starving between 3:15 and breakfast today; I'm a little hungry today as well. Yesterday was another active day, too - beat the FuelBand goal again. I imagine I have quite the streak going at the moment. 

Life is starting to settle down. For one, we had dinner at a reasonable hour, at home, before running errands last night. That's a first in a while. And I think we will be doing it again tonight. Maybe without the errands - maybe watching TV instead. Which would be nice. I got all of the deadbolt locksets replaced yesterday; some of them were pretty broken, as it turned out, so we have now improved the property.

We had a discovery yesterday, too - well, Lee discovered it the day before, and I had a look yesterday. We have citrus trees in the back yard already. Not sure what, yet, because they aren't ripe, but I think either a lemon or a lime, and an orange, based on the shape of the fruit (of which there is rather a lot). So that's pretty exciting, and saves me the hassle of research and planting and waiting for fruit. 

Wednesday

Is it a good thing that this seems like a long week? If nothing else, that provides (perceived) lots of time to get things done. And we are making progress. We have a working living room, and the kitchen is starting to be usable. This in addition to 2 usable (after a bit of tidying) guest bedrooms, and the master suite, which was the first priority.

Slept like a tidy, stable, pile of rocks last night - 10-6:30. Which happens to be 9-5:30 Denver time. Go figure. I suspect we will start shifting backwards once things settle down a little. Although, what with working for a Denver office, it may be to our advantage to skew late for a while yet.

159.2 this morning. Very stiff and swollen. The backs of my knees are particularly nasty. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• several slices of swiss cheese
  
• almonds
  
• a McDonald's chicken salad with balsamic vinaigrette
  
• broccoli cheese soup
  
• pot roast with gravy
  

I'm pretty sure that was it; there's not a lot of easy food in the house (lots of ingredients), so I didn't do much snacking. That will have changed today; we went grocery shopping again last night (Sam's this time, since Costco isn't exactly next door), and stocked up on things like blocks of cheese.

I think I may be able to make salad dressing today, and maybe we can eat at home tonight.

Tuesday

Oh, how I have missed my bed. With the assistance of a Benadryl, I slept from 10 to about 6:30. Woke once, somewhere around 4, I think. I feel rested, but not fabulous, due to aches and pains from the work yesterday.

Another day of beating the FuelBand. I don't recall how many points I amassed, but it was a lot. Still not a lot of steps counted - for whatever reason, it counts on the low side. I unpacked a bunch of boxes of books - that's on the plan for today as well - and ran up and down stairs a huge amount. Tho' not nearly as much as the movers, who were awesome.

Yesterday was fairly burger-and-fries centric. I don't know if today will be as well; it would be lovely if we could get to the point of being able to cook today. I think it looked like this:

• tea (slept at a hotel that didn't use real cream)
  
• scrambled eggs with cheese and salsa
  
• cream cheese
  
• quarter pounder with cheese, no bun
  
• fries
  
• double cheeseburger, no bun (big patties; I don't know how much meat it was)
  
• fries with ketchup
  

I think that was it. Which might explain why I'm suddenly hungry this morning. The aches and pains explain the 159.0 reading on the scale.

More of the same today. 

Monday

We have moved. Officially. I'm sitting at the built-in desk of what will be our home office, with a bunch of stuff, but connectivity. 

Since we slept last night at a hotel (no beds yet), I have no idea what I weigh. Sleep itself was good until the Advil wore off - we did a lot of box-humping and unpacking last night, and I can feel it. More than met my FuelBand goal.

Routine should start to set in tonight, I hope. Although for a while, "routine" will look a lot like "unpacking".
