    Report on yesterday:

    1. Morning swim -- done
    2. 10,000 steps -- over 20,000!
    3. stay within calories/no unplanned snacking -- did it (but see asterisk)
    4. bed/sleep again -- sigh, nope, wasn't tired, so ended up not sleeping 'til quite late and then got woken up really early (4:30). It's amazing I feel as well rested as I do.

    Today's:

    1. Morning workout -- done (I went to Crossfit and added a brisk walk)
    2. 10,000 steps (trying to make it all week)
    3. within calories/no unplanned snacking
    4. bed/sleep -- trying again

    *I am doing a couple of new things this week that seem to be helping a lot over the past few weeks. First, I've been experimenting with cutting down the size of my breakfast some (it was 400 or so, it's been more like 250 this week), letting lunch be larger, and planning in a late afternoon snack for any day with a morning or noon workout. (My problem has been afternoons/pre-dinner, and part of why is I have FAR more time between lunch and dinner than breakfast and lunch.) Second, I cut my base calories down some, but am allowing myself to eat back SOME calories (as opposed to the TDEE method, which I'd been doing for a while) whenever I have a bigger workout day. So far it's working better in getting me to eat as I should and (ashamed as I am to admit it) motivating me to get my workouts in.
