Neil deGrasse Tyson: The Lord's Most Powerful Evangelist
Meme of the day, courtesy of atheism: Neil deGrasse Tyson is secretly the Lord's most powerful evangelist, bringing people to Christ by making atheism so unbearably cringe you start begging for literally anything else. Also inside: week four of the diet and a Weird Al dance party.
Progress
Today marks the conclusion of week four following that DEXA body scan. Based on my weekly goals, as projected by Grok, I'm +1 pound from where I intended to be (ugh!). I going to blame that on my anniversary weekend buttery steak + sourdough garlic bread + wine + cheese + fruit. It was worth the temporary setback. Mmm.
This puts me right about ten pounds from my goal. This is good progress.
I read the other day that digital scales are often inaccurate by around 1 - 2%. They mask this inaccuracy by storing in very short-term memory your recent weight, so that it can land on the same value if you weigh yourself again. At my weight, that error margin could easily be two pounds. Plotting this over lots of weeks will make that inaccuracy noise go away. It's too bad there isn't a calibration mode or something so that I could be confident in its measurements.
I busted out a boring ~5 mile hike: down into the valley, over to the lake, and back again. 1 hour, 21 minutes. Brisk and enjoyable. Perfect weather. Lost in thought the whole time. Living in the mountains is pretty awesome.
