204.8
Man, I certainly never intended this to be a diet blog. I really do mean to post real stuff again in the near future. Summer is just difficult in terms of free time. Ironic.

Day 8
206.4
don't Know how that happened after a rainy shabbos indoors all day.
but I know pre- and post- fasting binging will make some blip.
Got a family wedding to go to Aug 4. Will this make any difference? Possibly...but I know I won't be feeling anything good.
But yes, I'm pleased. Washed all the dishes and lost 3 lb. Yay, go me!

Day 5
Still 208.0
Yesterday was a very busy, taxing day, so I didn't do any formal exercise, and let myself snack.
The exercising I'm doing are muscle strengthening for my chronic back pain, not aerobic stuff. I need to get out and literally run around more often. It just doesn't seem to ever work, time-wise to walk to work.

Day 3
208.8
Actually it wavered between 208.8 and 208.0. I'm beginning to suspect the scale only gives results in increments of 0.8lb.
I'm feeling queasy from yogurt again, and I hurt my back installing an air conditioner in my window. But tomorrow is camp. Yay! Built an unstable kite (balsa wood is TOO weak for kites!) It looks like the weather is going to be all back and forth again tomorrow, so I'm not sure whether we will be able to both build and fly this week.
Okay, I'm not going to update everyday, unless I have other stuff to post, but I need to do it often enough to motivate myself. Sorry if it's boring. If the title is just "Day*", it will probably be a boring, update post.
since you came, here's a picture similar to a kite I bought forr a ridiculously modest price from 10,000 Villages - that is a great store

Day 2
208.8
I know this difference is completely meaningless - one day, less then 1 lb, well within the margin of normal fluctuation - just let me be happy you party poopers!
But I'm not because I hate my wasband so much. He destroys my day with one email. I hate him. doesn't matter what it's about, he just destroys my life. I hate him. And I hate myself for letting him have so much power over my mood. And I hate him. Arrogant, self absorbed, idiotic, lazy filth. Let me just be with my children and enjoy them you sicko!
I really shouldn't have moved back to the old neighborhood. And I wonder how many of the people who congratulated me for making "the right move" really knew all the time how bad it would be...

As If I Hadn't Already Given Too Much Information
Yesterday I bought a scale.
This morning, without shoes but fully clothed, I weight 209.6.
That is repulsive. But I'm not too depressed just now.
One thing I know is that I am MUCH happier, when I am losing weight, or maintaining an "acceptable" weight. But oh! even when I have lost 20lbs, I will still be 190! Yarg!
Anyway, let's see how well it works to embarrass the fat into leaving.

Climbing Back Up
I can't say why I am feeling better this week. It's mostly chemical I guess. See, now this is the time I should be looking for a psychiatrist, when I am able to handle the pressure, but the Catch-22 is I don't have the proper motivation to put the energy or resources into it.
Anyway, I wanted to say that I am feeling better, but, unfortunately, not nearly as creative, so I don't have much to say.
One little thing that I noticed, that seems to be a paradigm of the troubles faced by public schools (although this isn't actually about schools):
I have been searching for good low-cost activities for kids over the summer. I checked out the local libraries' offerings. The suburban libraries have all kids of good programs I actually plan to attend - magicians, authors, films, puppet shows, etc. The city libraries have no funding, and are desperate to just give kids an alternative to the hot streets, so theirs are mostly lame programs I will not be attending - "surprise" daily art projects (like paper-plate suns, tissue paper teddy bears), and video games, and not much else. So sad. And I suppose this is the librarians' fault? Meanwhile, as I was doing ALL my laundry at the laundromat this morning, I see a commercial, during NASCAR, recruiting people to become teachers. They couldn't really give any reasons why this would be a good choice, except that we really, really need you. Sad.
Blah blah blah.
It's hot. I'm not so depressed. Teachers receive an absurd amount of flack they don't deserve from inside and outside the system. I guess that's about it for now.
I'm also gonna take the kids to a local pet store to visit the two headed turtle. Here is a picture of a different, but very similar, turtle pair.
