I behaved myself yesterday, but I didn’t lose any weight. My work day ended early because of a giant headache, so I came home to lie on the couch. I hadn’t eaten, and since it was late afternoon, I had some Swiss cheese that I’d bought to put in my vegetarian salad. And then I had some raw almonds. When I finally got around to making my salad, I’d already consumed most of the cheese and a lot of almonds. Still, I expected to be at least a little lighter today, but I’m not.

After fasting today, I’m going to stick to the vegetarian salad for dinner tonight. The salad is pretty large, so there’s a lot of water and fiber in it, and maybe that’s why I sometimes don’t seem to lose any weight by the next weigh-in the day after I’ve eaten it. That water and fiber will eventually be “eliminated,” of course, but it’s still disappointing to see the exact same number on the scale that I saw the previous day.

In terms of stress, I’m just trying to hang on until the end of the week. After that, I’ll have some training for the next two weeks, so that’ll be a most welcome break. I need to do a better job with my time away from work. Currently, it seems like I spend a lot of my free time in “recovery mode” rather than doing things I actually enjoy, so the weekends don’t feel terribly productive, and, more importantly, my anxiety doesn’t diminish as much as it could.

This is a pretty boring post, so I’m going to end it here. I’ll try to have something more interesting to say tomorrow.
