Squished Fingers and X Ads
J's squished finger turned out to be a fractured fingertip: x-rays, amoxicillin, an orthopedic referral, and, since we are cash pay, plenty of budgetary fun. Meanwhile X Ads remains the kind of system that lets you build a dozen ads, hit save, and watch them vanish without an error.
Exercise & Progress
Well, I was -7 pounds this morning, which is where I wanted to be yesterday – the three week mark. I'm going to round that and consider it a win. 11 pounds to go.
Grok produced the following weekly projections for me. I'm skeptical of losing > 1 pound per week after the first 4 - 6 weeks. I guess we'll see!
| Week | Weekly Loss (lb) | Projected Weight (lb) | Cumulative Loss (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | — | 173.4 | 0 |
| 1 | 2.33 | 171.07 | 2.33 |
| 2 | 2.33 | 168.74 | 4.66 |
| 3 | 2.34 | 166.40 | 7.00 |
| 4 | 1.80 | 164.60 | 8.80 |
| 5 | 1.70 | 162.90 | 10.50 |
| 6 | 1.60 | 161.30 | 12.10 |
| 7 | 1.50 | 159.80 | 13.60 |
| 8 | 1.40 | 158.40 | 15.00 |
| 9 | 1.30 | 157.10 | 16.30 |
| 10 | 1.20 | 155.90 | 17.50 |
| 11 | 0.90 | 155.00 | 18.40 |
At 155 pounds, I'll have to wonder the extent to which my hiking, running, pull-ups and other body weight exercises are improving, vs I'm just getting lighter so the workout becomes easier.
Lastly, I do really like PaleoPro, but it has been close to a week and they still haven’t shipped my 2nd order. With this kind of latency, I’m going to have to place the next order as soon as I receive this order. Or sooner.
