The last week has been a bit of a disaster. I was very excited to continue pushing towards the low 300s, but unfortunately I’ve hit a major setback. I have a wicked ear infection that has been causing me extreme amounts of pain. As such, I’ve essentially lost nearly all control over my eating habits. In a fit of restlessness, I recorded this update while coming up with a plan to bounce back from this. It is frustrating to lose all of September’s progress to this, but I’m taking it as a lesson in patience and perseverance.
