Fasting

On Friday I Skyped Nikki and talked about my worries.  I said that she couldn't get a job if she was here because of her English, and I was concerned about her lack of interest in actually studying.  She seemed down about the whole thing, but her mood improved over the course of the Skype video call.  Will she improve?  I'm guessing no, although I'd love to be proven wrong.  She seems really nice, but maybe I can't afford her.  I didn't give her an ultimatum that she had to study or else, but I implied it.  I don't like telling people what to do, especially if they are adults, but really, it's time to get started.  I have always asked for 4 hours of study a week (in addition to her having a job) and she was unable to achieve that.  How will she go when the pressure is on?  I want more than 4 hours now.

I bought a new bathroom scale.  That makes three scales that I own, all digital and the new one has the ability to measure body fat.  I'd guesstimate that my body fat is about 17% at the moment, based on looking at photographs of men with my build.  I prefer to have really accurate weight readings, so I use the readings for all of the scales and convert it to an accurate number using a spreadsheet.  Once I reach goal weight, I'll just use one scale.

So I'm fasting.  I ate more than the chicken I promised in the last post, but that's okay.  I can buy some food tomorrow because I'm starting this new daily planner, and I'm using nice tasting food as a motivation system to keep using the planner.  It sort of disrupts the diet, but it won't disrupt it by a lot.  One of my goals is to tidy every day.  I'm untidy and want to change things.  The daily planner is for other things too, such as going to the doctor.  I haven't been in a year, and want to get back and try new antidepressants.

I won't post my weight yet, because when you fast you lose quite a bit of non-fat, and there is no point in measuring that.
