State of the Bear
(cross-posted to mdlbear and healthy_fen)
My weight this morning was down to 182. It hasn't been that low in... don't remember. Close to a decade, at any rate. Somebody at Baycon remarked that I'd lost weight. The diet is basically just low carbs, low glycemic index, and only high-protein snacks, Starting with a large high-protein breakfast. I lost about 2 pounds over the weekend.
I also noticed that I seemed less tired than I used to be during packing and load-out from Baycon. I worked efficiently and remained functional and cheerful during the whole morning. This was true of the last few cons, too. Some of that may well be the fact that the weekend didn't start out with a day of driving, but it may also be the combination of nose-watering and the facehugger giving me better breathing during the day and night respectively. Whatever it is, I'm not complaining.
During colds and allergy season, I seem to need to water my nose three or four times/day. Wish it was practical to do it around noon at work...
