I’ve slipped on this something major. I still follow some of the tenets, but I don’t maintain my system. I use my system heavily for some projects, but will avoid it altogether for the next. I have plenty of open loops in my brain, and that general sense of stress and dread that comes from allowing things to get disorganized.

After about eight to ten weeks of not smoking, work got incredibly stressful. One day was particularly bad. I decided then that the stress was more dangerous to my health than cigarettes and bought a pack of Lucky Strikes. I’ve been smoking again ever since.
I’m not bothered by it either. At least, not at the moment.
I bounced off of my low weight of 165 and have managed to hover between 170 and 175 for the past few months. That’s within my target range and I can’t really complain… I still have too much of a gut (in my mind) sticking out, but it’s easier to suck in. It’s far less grievous than before.
I’m trying to get back into the breakfast habit. I was great with breakfast during the summer, when the sun blasted in nice and early to rouse me awake. But once the daylight started getting shorter, I found myself feeling rushed in the morning, often avoiding breakfast.
I’ve heard that Breakfast is good for establishing good metabolism for the day. On the few days last week when I managed to be up early enough for / make time for a small breakfast (typically a bowl of oatmeal) my weight did seem to stay closer to the lower end of my range, even if my eating habits throughout the day hadn’t changed.
Anyways, I don’t like 175, but it’s much better than 195. And since I’ve managed to stay at or below the 175 pound line for a while now, I think I can mark this goal off.
