So after a badly disrupted night's sleep, I woke up with a throbbing headache. God bless Ibuprofen. I stumbled around getting dressed, trying to forget about my weird dreams (which largely involved my being both a man—possibly Hugh Laurie—and being fed to sharks by my family). Fed the kitty, packed my lunch, and managed to not forget my office badge or Netflix envelope.

In good news, I also lost 2lbs. Wholly undeservedly as I ate like I was preparing for a fucking famine this past weekend. But hey, yay regardless. It was a great motivator for Boot Camp with Jeff, starting today. I'd anticipated being 5lbs up.

As for the first day of D&W (as Jeff calls it, Deprivation & Weight-loss), it's going well. It always amazes me how much better I do with breakfast and a late afternoon piece of fruit. Also I need to drink more water, dammit. Never get enough water.

Sarah emailed me in the middle of the day to ask if I felt like walking around the lake, and it was the best suggestion ever. It sounds a lot more comforting than the gym tonight. I just need to grab my gym bag and change here before I leave for the night.

With Jeff The Magnificent's help, I've also made some nice progress on the proteomics work I've been assigned. It's design-oriented and as always, he had excellent input. I've hit a nice stride here at work, I did some extra work and caught up on some of the items that tend to get frantic, and can be productive without being freaked.

Okay. Just one more hour-ish to quittin' time. And I'm already looking forward to bed.

I am sending good Boot Camp vibes your way. I, too, am back on deprivation rations. I'll b getting my snazzy new hip in September, so I've decided to actually drop some weight and try and buff up my leg muscles so that my rehab will be faster and easier. So that means ... well, you know.

Good vibes right backatcha! Especially with the hipstuff in September. Very smart move to do some preventative rehab, so to speak.

Here's to a healthier, fitter, and bouncier end-of-the year for both of us!
