Long day.

Seems like I didn’t miss a whole lot, looking back over the day’s entries.

The high point of my day was finally, decidedly, settling in to a confirmed 30-lb. weight loss (by which I mean the average fluctuations for the last week or so have been within a pound or two of a point 30 lbs off of my peak weight, which I was at when I started watching my carbs).

It is a measure, I think, of how overweight I am that people keep saying, “You’ve lost some weight, haven’t you?” and are then genuinely surprised when I tell them how much I’ve lost. It’s really not so noticeable yet. I can tell, of course.

I didn’t start out trying to lose weight. I started this because my meds manager suggested that I might be less groggy and lethargic from all those lovely drugs if I tried reducing my carb intake. It worked. The weight loss has been a welcome side effect.

Now if I could just find the right hair care products and win the culture war, I’d be happy.
