My struggle with dieting

Since the last time I wrote I've been starting to struggle with my diet. I am in a calorie deficit but seem to be staying the same for the last two or 3 weeks. I understand that this just might be a plateau, and I should "suck it up" (if you ask the internet.) Perhaps that is right. I do know I want to change it. I would be happy with a small loss each week. Staying the same weight week after week despite measuring everything is frustrating. No doubt I am doing something wrong, or not doing enough of…

Reflections on my birthday, weight loss, and DIY tech projects

I am at the end of a week off from work, so I thought it was about time I reflected on a few things. I continue to find it difficult to find things to write about, though. The week off started great on my birthday. We went out for food, and it was great! I knew I'd pay for it on the scales though (yes, I am trying to lose weight) and I was right. I gained a little.

Where does the time go?

It only seems like yesterday to me that I was thinking about what I wanted to achieve in the new year. It feels like I blinked, and it is August.

When I say I shorter they still can last for a few weeks but before they went on for months. If I can get them down to days by the end of the…

I used Proton Drive for a few months and after the initial really slow upload, all seemed well. Then, however, I had to perform a fresh install of my PC. That is when the problems started. I thought to myself "everything is backed up so I'll just reinstall the app and wait for a little while and all will be well." As a side note, I was not using this as my only…

Struggling and looking for help

So, the slump was far harder to get out than I had hoped. A month to the day since my last post and I have had to force myself to write this. I'm just so tired all the time. I'm starting to think I will never conquer this. If anything, I feel like I am falling backwards more than moving forwards. I'm trying to shake this, and I suppose just booting up my PC and writing this is a small victory. If anyone is reading this, I would really love it if you reached out with ideas and thoughts on…
