Day 1118
My head cold is worse today than it was yesterday. At least I dropped a pound. I am heading to see a friend who might be able to help me with one of my most pressing stressors right now. I am hoping it works. While I have my day to get through and I’ll do…

Day 1117
I wonder if there is a better indication of how difficult weight loss is than the fact that over the past 1,117 days my weight started at 395, dropped down to under 240, and is back up hovering above 300. I want to get back down there, but man is it a challenge. With all…

Day 1116

Day 1112
Today was a busy day. I saw some friends, and shortly I will begin teaching. I am still anxious and stressed to my limit. Tomorrow is the day.

Day 1111
I arrived in Montreal… I brought my stress and anxiety with me. Thursday can’t come soon enough. I am eating like crap. I am going to gain ten pounds before I get home Friday evening.

Day 1110
My sleep score was a 71 last night, which is better than the last few nights, but still not very good. I took something for my anxiety before sleeping and maybe it helped a little. It is also possible that my headache this morning is because of that. I’m not sure, but it has been…
