Daily weight from December 31, 2011 -June 30, 2012.

Year 2012 daily weight from December 31, 2011.

Diet Comment:
Again, no real weight change. This has been an unusual week in that my weight has been fairly steady, with only about a 1/2-pound difference between the high and low weights Monday-Thursday, and a 1-1/2 pound high-to-low diff between my post-cheat weight and yesterday's low weight.

Today's 23-hour fast will probably send the weight down a little. 

It's all good.

Daily Comment:

I want to de-emphasize the diet aspect of the blog. I'm kind of bored with it, now that things have been stable for, gee, about 10 months now. 

This change started happening on the one-year anniversary of the blog when I changed it's name from Reverend Ken's Weight Loss Blog.

Last week, I eliminated a few of the measurement charts. Next, I will probably go to one weight-tracking chart. I still think it is important, as a former fat person, to track this, and to keep tracking my food choices, because like reformed-anything, the danger of relapse is real, and also because this helps keep my attention focused on my food choices. And because I kind of like the food diary aspect of it all.

But I would like my daily comments to be more about my experiences and thoughts. Not, I think, about my history, unless something current makes that relevant.

I might as well start right now by reflecting on a Skype session I had with my son. All good news, and I come away from these so happy! I do so dig Skype, if for nothing else than the way it facilitates me talking with Alex. I wish all my friends had it and they all were on it. 

And one more thing, while I'm thinking about it: 

In a few days, I'm eligible for a phone upgrade. My first inclination is to get the current iPhone. My son (who works for Apple) thinks I should wait for the next iPhone, which will be 4G compatible (probably). I don't know. I'm less than thrilled with my Motorola Droid 2.

One of the main reasons I want an iPhone is the 2-lens feature that makes FaceTime possible. But I have heard of some problems with FaceTime. At least once, when I used it between my Macbook and my son's iPhone, it has frozen, and I have heard of other problems using it iPhone-to-iPhone.


A few people have told me Google Talk (which is available on all platforms and isn't dependent on WiFi - a thing that makes it unusable where I work) is better.

I don't know about that. 


I have some time to decide what is right for me. Of course, I can have Google Talk on an iPhone, and have the best of all worlds...

And I like the iPhone, even though it is 'way overpriced. 

Something (else) to think about.
