^ nice, Catrin!

I, too, am moving in the right direction, though I'm up .8 from yesterday. 148.8. Yay!

106.8
And this is my lowest weight of the week.
I can't figure out what's going on, but I think it's more related to exercise than food. I've backed off the total Paleo, and am back to eating mostly Mediterranean, but really not much different from what I've always done. When I analyze it, last year at this time, I was running, riding, and going to boot camp. Right now, I'm going to boot camp, still riding indoors a bit, walking, and just finished the nordic ski season. I am hoping to get out on my bike in the next week. My body is also going through some kind of rebellion since recovering from bronchitis, I am just not 100% right, and I'm having some of the weird, annoying fibro symptoms. I ignore that, but it started after a 5 day period of really strenuous workouts in a row. It's not each specific thing, it's more the combination of stuff and intensity. This always happens after I've been sick. So, I've backed off a little.
Onward, though. Going to stay overnight in Boston tonight, for our theatre evening. This includes Italian food at a very nice place and going to the MFA tomorrow. I am bringing my gym clothes for the hotel gym and plan to do lots of walking this afternoon, when we get there.

123, so up a pound. This has been another lost week of running around doing everything for everyone and very little that is on my own agenda. For instance, I am precisely one week further behind in my work than I was last Friday. The only exercise I have managed is a short bike ride yesterday. Maybe next week...

146.2. Up 2, with more exercise and less food than last week. And I've been really hungry all week long.

I've also been really tired for most of the week and still in a general state of anger and frustration at work. I'm sure that it not helping anything. Yesterday I snapped after getting yet another email from the new manager asking when I would finish the latest pile of work that is burying me, and I told him I was well past the point of being overwhelmed, was finding stupid mistakes that I needed to work on fixing, and had no idea when anything would be finished.

This weekend my parents are visiting which means restaurant food, no exercise and sleeping on an air mattress on the cold floor. Luckily they really like the Silver Diner which has a decent selection of healthy meals.
