Get my BMI reliably below 22

I’m still on break, I swear, but I couldn’t wait any longer to cross this sucka off the list. My trend BMI has been below 22 for over two weeks, so that’s good enough for me. The last month or so is when I’ve really noticed a decrease in my sleep requirement. YAY! I’m actually totally content with my shape, but I think I need to keep this going to ensure that I kill the apnea thing dead.

Speaking of which, it is wonderful to feel like myself again. Holy shit. I cannot tell you how much more confident I am about the future. If I had felt like this in the fall, I would have held out for a job at a research university. But I’m still happy with my choices, and it’s probably best to have some time to straighten my life out in a lower-pressure environment.

yee haw! My trend BMI is now below 22.

Now I just need to work on the “reliably” part.

I tend to look best in the 19.7 to 21.5 range. To give myself room to rebound, I’d like to get closer to the lower end of that range. My body seems to want to slooooowly lose weight right now on its own, and I’m fine riding that out and giving it a little push from time to time.
