Plateau

My weight loss has stalled at around 192 pounds.  When I reach 191  I'll go from being technically obese to being technically overweight.

As the semester comes to an end and with the Thanksgiving holiday my schedule has been inconsistent.  I think that I am better dieting when I have a fixed schedule that I can plan to remove eating from; with a blur of different activities my baser instincts dominate and my hands reach for snacks without my telling them to consciously.

Still feeling better than when I was at 220 pounds, so I haven't relapsed but it is hard getting off this plateau.

Obese Light

My weight loss and consequent ubiquitous hunger still dominate my thoughts.  Based on my BMI, I am close to the boundary between being overweight and being obese, on the obese side.  I hope soon to cross over.  It is a long way after that to being of "normal" weight.

Semester Coming to an End

We are mid-November, with a late Thanksgiving.  There's two weeks of classes, then half a week, then half a week, then final exams.

It's been a good term.  A lot of whatever will power I've had has gone toward dieting.  The singing has been great fun.  The classes are going well, although I don't know that I'll ever be fully confident teaching Geometry.

My, how the time has flown.  I feel as if I am doing a better job prioritizing and keeping track of due dates.
