I can haz sleep plz?

Finally got another couple hours or so of sleep, after waking up at 3:30 and going back to bed, still not terribly sleepy, at 5:00. Grr.

My Patent Review Committee presentation yesterday seemed to go well, after I abandoned the idea of using OpenOffice on a Mac laptop and just fired up the exported PDF. MacOS is, unfortunately, even farther outside my area of competence than electronics. Still, it was fun; every once in a while it's good to push the boundaries and do something slightly weird, slightly scary, and totally unexpected.

I appear to have lost a pound since yesterday morning, in spite of having a little bread and cheeze, and a slice of pizza. I did try to keep the bread to a minimum this time.

Do you weigh yourself every day? I've generally seen it advised against, since normal daily fluctuations can obscure trends over such a short term.

FWIW, 2-3 months ago I established a rule for myself: every 10 days, give or take-- specifically, on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of every month. This gives me a pattern that's easy to remember, and seems to work better for me than weekly.

Would probably be a good idea; you're not the first person I've heard that advice from. I like the immediate feedback, and tend to keep the week's max and min in my head as well as yesterday's number, so I can track the trend.

What I really ought to do is key them in and run stats. I have the technology.

Both Weight Watchers and Nutrisystem recommends weighting yourself at a specific time once a week. Keep it up.
