Today's Weight:        200.6 lbs 
Yesterday's Weight:    202.4 lbs
Net Loss/Gain:         - 1.8 lbs

Daily weight from January 1, 2011.

Daily weight from October 1, 2011.

Today's nice loss was exaggerated by the fact that I woke up 2-1/2 hours after eating my late snack of celery, baby carrots and red peppers dipped in spicy mayonnaise. I felt sick, was up most of the night, and ended up ditching work and sleeping away the morning and afternoon. So the weigh-in didn't happen until 3:30pm. It turns out, I can't eat sweet peppers right before bed.  


This also means that I ate my food in a compressed time period: The day's meals were consumed between 4 and 9pm.

Daily Comment

One of the biggest challenges I have had in my life for the last decade or so, is that I do not have good sleep habits. I frequently go sleep-deprived, sometimes to the extreme that I get so tired I fall asleep suddenly, in the middle of other activities.
