Crashed out this afternoon, then dragged myself out to the supermarket, and spent over an hour shoving a shopping trolley around the supermarket. Learning to recognise that even that is exercise. It also left me too wiped out to go for a "proper walk". Bed now.

Continuing to mostly try and avoid sugars and simple carbs.

I wanted to be down 1.5kg at this point, and I'm down 3kg, so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Remembering to grab my water bottle and refill it are the main challenges to the 2L of water per day challenge, but overall I'm happy with my progress so far.

I've managed to collect most of the ingredients to make a meal and do food prep for a second serving, it's just remembering to do it.

I'm trying to make this about finding exercise where I can; rather than "I MUST WALK FIVE MINUTES A DAY" like I did in the past.

Yard work had to be done, and I did it.

Water? Not so much. Just to clarify, I might have hit 2L of liquid yesterday (maybe), but I'm aiming for 2L of water, and less alternatives.

This was the follow-up to yesterday's work. Lots of long overdue cleaning up the edges of the lawn in the front yard. Who wants to do more than the basic mowing when the house is about to be knocked down?

It's more than that though... part of this change and caring more about myself is that it feels like it extends beyond me now.

More than nailed the water goal though.

Writing this on the 24th. There was no active exercise yesterday. There was incidental exercise, walking through a shopping centre, and that was probably 5-10 minutes.

Yesterday was a hard day, not just because the lack of sleep, but because I had complex conversations with the psychologist, followed by a disaster of a dentist visit (I was prepared for the worst, and yet things were actually worse).

I went to the shops between these two appointments.

Got home, and what started out as a brief chat with my wife around 6pm turned into one of *those* conversations that went on until almost midnight.

It was well after 10pm before I noticed the time, and my exercise window was closed. Exercise too close to bed, and it wakes me up.

I don't feel like it was a "failure" though.

Starting the day at 8:15am with a stressful call to the ATO, then dealing with Centrelink, lead into a workday that was completely upended by events, and interrupted by the plumber showing up, and then me having to head into the city for an event, only to get home and have to have another heavy duty conversation... I didn't find 5 minutes. By the time I realised, it was too late (I could exercise for five minutes, but then I wouldn't get to sleep until 2am).

I guess some days do be like that?

Writing this on the following day; in the back of my head, the thing I've been worried about is what would happen when I got sick. It feels like I do that a fair bit, with a penchant for colds and other respiratory games.

Yesterday afternoon, I started sneezing, then coughing, then my eyes turned red, and it's either some kind of allergy, or I'm coming down with something. Again.

Within an hour or so, I'd crashed out in bed for a couple of hours. Then got up again around 8:30pm. I did not manage to get my "5 minutes" in.

I'm feeling about 70% this morning, and not sure whether to get out and push myself, or just rest. If it's just allergies, then rest isn't going to do much, but if it's my body teetering on the edge of another URTI, pushing myself could end badly.

Comments:
Well, it was going to hit at some point, but all is not quite as it seems.

One of the recommendations for weight-loss is not to weigh in daily, but over the years of doing it anyway, I've come to recognise that the scales can vary wildly, and it no longer has the emotional hit for me. It's just data, and I'm less interested in the number each day, than the overall trend.

Getting past that emotional hit has another effect though; I recognise that my weight can vary wildly from day-to-day.

Back in 2012 when I lost all that weight the first time around, when I had a week like this, where the weekly public weigh-in was a much smaller loss than expected, I'd be devastated.

The daily weigh-ins mean that I've seen my weight fluctuate, I know that a lot of it is water weight, and I also broke through the 160kg barrier yesterday for the first time since July 2023.

I also drank a lot of liquid yesterday, with over a litre of sugar-free lemon-mango Solo, which is something I'm low-key obsessed with right now (and isn't cola, yay!)

Some of these weigh-ins won't be what I hoped, and I'm OK with that. The trend, however, is down, which is what I planned.

I started writing today's post with "Today is going to be my first 'no' day."

I didn't finish that sentence. I was looking at it, half-finished, and thought "It's only five minutes. Yes, I'm utterly exhausted, and struggling to stay awake. But it's *only* five minutes."

In the end, today is still a 'no' day, though.

"No, I'm not going to repeat the past 24 hours again."

Once again, I threw myself in harm's way to save someone else from having to deal with the issue, that STILL required me to work today anyway.

So I learned something, but I also pushed myself out the door when I didn't feel like it, and a big part of that was simply the accountability presented by these check-ins.

Uhhh. I hate measuring myself. I'm used to the numbers, it's the process I hate. My chest is the worst; trying to keep the tape measure in place, and not pull it too tight, and not let it drop as I'm checking it, means that the chest measurements are the ones I trust the least.

With that said, it took me a lot more time to measure this morning, because I thought I must be doing something wrong, and kept re-measuring, but no... apparently I've lost 1cm on my neck and arms, and at least 3cms everywhere else.

So... that's a nice way to start my day off, but I'm really shocked.

A gain. I expected it at some point, did not expect it to be that much. Again, all is not as it seems, thanks to my daily weigh-ins.

Thursday: 160kg
Friday: 159.3kg (yay, broke 160!)
Saturday: 160.6kg (1.3kg in a day?)
Sunday: 161.8kg (1.2kg in a day??)

Clearly I have not gained 2.5kg of fat in the space of two days, so something else is going on here. I suspect some water retention due to the heat, plus the late dinner on Saturday night didn't help.

I do remember a time that this would have devastated me, but now it's just part of the process. The trend is still down, and right on target.

Yesterday was a hot one, peaking at 37C. I decided to get my walk in earlier in the day, figuring (correctly) that the heat would wipe me out, so I walked at midday, in the relatively cool 30C temperature.

I came SO close to cracking the 10m mark for the walk (it IS a goal).

Still struggling with the water.

When I switched to a 1L water bottle, suddenly it was easy to drink water. The 2L bottle was too much.

I kept the 2L sports-bottle in the fridge to refill the 1L bottle. Turns out, that's the pinch-point. The 2L bottle is hard to remove the lid, and it's messy to refill the 1L, and my brain just goes "nope, too hard."

Off to Kmart for a second 1L bottle.

I hoped this wouldn't happen, but it did. Nightmare Tuesday (even relative to Tuesdays).

Between the storm, and blackouts, and being on call, by the time I *could* get a walk in, I hadn't eaten for so long that I was shaking, and by the time I did get some dinner, I hard to start my evening shift, which finished at 11pm, leaving it too late to walk (unless I wanted to be up until 2am due to the energy boost).

I know, get back on the horse, yada yada yada, but I'm still disappointed that I broke this streak.

I'm going to have to plan ahead for on-call weeks, but based on today (16th), I think I was struggling so hard because I was running down, and not in the exercise way.

For whatever reason, the Health app doesn't show all the data that the Apple watch exercise app does, but the exercise app loses the data unless I screencap it.

It finally happened. I got sick. Worse still, I dove headfirst into a binge because I felt so crap. I'm feeling pretty disappointed in myself right now.

So the challenge here is that I've accepted that I'm marginally unwell. I have tried to do almost nothing today, in an attempt to rest, and intend to do the same tomorrow, and then back into the saddle on Monday.

I'm concerned that come Monday, I won't be able to motivate myself to get out there again, because that's what's happened so many times before.

So I'm telling you my plans and fears now, in an attempt to circumvent that lack of motivation.

Also, I drank some water today, but paid no attention to how much. Not enough.

400g down this week. Under the circumstances (on-call, mild cold) I shouldn't be too down on myself about it, but I'm feeling pretty flat right now.

Rested all day. Still feel like rubbish. Drank plenty of fluid, but only 1L of actual water.

I'm not going to force myself into going walking if I'm still unwell tomorrow. Doesn't seem wise.

I've hit "discouraged". Getting sick has been, historically, the thing that derailed me. I'm still struggling with some upper airway symptoms. Check-ins fell apart. I'm not drinking anywhere near enough water. My sleep has been broken, and I'm just exhausted all the time.

I am going to try to get out for a walk today.
