2017 to March 2021 weight graph from my My Fitness Pal app.
I went back on my diet Monday. No bread, no sugar. I guess it was 2016 or 17, I hit 199 pounds. I couldn’t let myself go to fatness of 200 pounds or more, so I gave up sugar and bread. I went down to around 170, less than in high school.
After that, I ended my dietary restrictions, but less sugar and bread than before. But, over the past year or so, the weekly weighings show an unpleasant trend.
Last Monday was 188 pounds, so it’s back to the diet.
Yesterday I found a second snakeskin from, I believe, the same snake. The first was probably more than a year ago and if I remember correctly, about half as big. This one was almost six feet long.
A co worker is taking some vacation time at the end of this week and I’ve started thinking I should do the same. Soon, not this week.
I’m reading the second book of the Founders Trilogy. It’s called Shorefall, I just finished Foundryside, the first book. It’s supposed to be a trilogy, but I don’t think book 3 is out yet.
Quite an interesting concept. An object can be written on, or have a prepared plate attached, with magical (I guess it’s magic) writing and / or symbols that alter that objects reality. This process is called “Scriving”.
For example, you could scrive a wheel, and make the wheel would think it’s on a hill, and start rolling. It’s controllable, and you could make the wheel go faster or slower or stop. You can make a piece of rotten wood think it’s steel and it would get very strong.
This is also used among other things, to make fantastic structures, flying machines and weapons. Scriving is a major occupation in the days of these books.
The main character is a girl who has a scrived plate in her skull and can “hear” and “see” scrivings
In a nutshell, the book is about preventing the evil bad guys from obtaining weapons so powerful they would take over the world and killing us all. There’s rich Houses, that take up most of the land with their walls, and in between are where all the poor people live.
I’m finding it quite interesting. It’s not an “I can’t put it down” book, but it’s good, worth reading.
It’s the first of March? Really? Already? Doesn’t seem possible. WHen this year started, I didn’t have a problem switching from 2020 to 2021, but I did have a problem switching from December to January, which surprised me.
It’s a Monday-back-to-work after a quiet weekend. I stayed home all weekend with my wife. I almost went diving yesterday, but I was getting ready to get ready to go and they moved the dive site to another location, further away and I couldn’t have made it without being late, so I didn’t go.
I’m gaining weight again, I was 199, went on my “no sugar no bread” diet and went down to about 170, this morning I was 188. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I like to be 175.
Have a good Monday, a great week and a Fantastic month of March!
