When you're so tired and worn out that you can't stop giggling at some stupid little thing that probably isn't even that funny but you're too out of it to care.

My colleague switched shift with me so now I'll be attending the Electric Wizard concert on Thursday. Gonna have a blast.
I'll have to work 7 days straight afterwarts, but that's worth it.

I know having too much sleep can be detrimental to your health, but that moment when you have 10+ hours of sleep and wake up not tired and groggy like when you usually do when you have too much sleep. Or too little sleep. Hell, I suppose any moment you wake up not tired and and groggy would count, but this is the first time in awhile I woke up not all tired and groggy :bear:

Been really watching what I eat and how much of it lately. Doing a mostly leafy greens/salads/fruits/kasha/chickpeas/soup diet, without condiments or salt, measured portions, and drinking lots and lots of water. Just by doing this and cutting out: bread/sugar/anything with flour/processed anything, I have gone from around 240 to 210 in the last month. That's pretty damn good. I also feel a hell of a lot better and am not as tired. I need to get back on a running regimen as well, but I expect to be down around 180 in another couple of months, which will be the perfect weight for my height/age.

while I'm glad you are eating healthy and all, losing 30lbs in a month is a pretty scary thing imho. But it's cool to hear you feel good on top of it.

In general, doctors advise against more than 1-2 lbs/week. Shock dieting (like the kind you get from carb starvation and the like) can quickly and dramatically change the way your body metabolizes different things because it thinks you're in distress. You can develop sudden side effects.

I lost 20 lbs in a month before, but not from shock dieting. I just ignored the worst of hunger, eating nutrient-dense lower-calorie foods at regular times, in addition to exercise, adding the carbs where they'd be used best. It was actually pretty easy once I got past the initial week of struggling with willpower and getting into a routine. I knew the hunger at first wasn't because my body needed the food, but because it had gotten used to it. So I just did some research and planning, and stuck to science. Body acclimated pretty quickly.

It's time to do it again, though.

Yeah, what Flint said. I also should add that I guess I kinda did a mental miss-step, as I have been weaning myself into this for like maybe...3 months or so? Oto mentioned it last night, and I had to think about it for a second, and realized I think the last time I weighed myself was over a month ago. That and weight tends to vary between morning and evening (I drink a lot of water throughout the day). So I did quit using my scale as often. So, maybe 30 lbs in 3 months?

One for the hate thread though is that I've had to almost completely give up one of my favorite things, beer. Now I'll just have a beer or two on Fridays, whereas a beer after work while fixing dinner was a usual thing. I do look forward to Fridays, that's for sure :)

Granted the last time I lost 30lbs in a month, I couldn't afford to eat and I was taking dance classes.. NEVER AGAIN... I wonder how much I'll lose after surgery? (considering they will be removing a 19cm tumor from my body)

When you're working on a long-term creative project that has a bunch of different parts to it, and you know each is gonna take a long time to finish, but you get to that point where you've done tiny little bits of all the parts. So you take those little parts and put them together into a first little render, and spend the next few hours giggling like a little girl because holy shit, when you can actually SEE everything come together, even for one frame, it's just such a confidence-booster and creative rush :awesome:
