I have been struggling with a swift and severe depression. In spite of or perhaps because of it, I am still losing weight. I woke up this morning and stepped on the scale and found myself at a nice, round 164 pounds. This is the lowest I've been in quite some while. I think it's still two pounds higher than my midsummer low in 2012, but given that it's nearly the middle of December, I'll take it -- especially since right now, between the depression and the winding down of the semester and the getting out of the house less, I am riding the bike less.
I get a lot of my exercise by doing housework these days. I suppose it is a blessing that I'm not much good at sitting still.
Sometimes I think I am starting to see the weight loss. Sometimes I think it's completely invisible. There are days like the day before yesterday when I feel like I look heavier than I ever have. This is what remains of my eating disorder: intrusive thoughts and the inability to see my body as it is. I wish I could. I wish I could see myself as Denis does.
Anyway, I have a ton of stuff to do today, so I will close here. Tomorrow is my last final, Chem. Once that's done I just have to whack together a bunch of stuff for my Research Methods and Statistics class and turn it in by Friday evening and this semester is complete.

Ha. Today has been like the worst day ever for nutrition. I didn't eat breakfast before leaving home (I often don't), but because I was trying to keep the pricetag down and our school cafeteria can be a bit pricey, I decided on vending-machine breakfast. The least of many evils was a set of Mrs. Freshley's chocolate cupcakes. Go figure.
Then I took my friend Breanna out for lunch. We hit up Taco Bell because it's cheap and close.
Tonight is the English Department Gala, so I'll eat whatever they feed us. Here's hoping it's better than what I've eaten so far!
On the other hand, at least my weight is still coming down, and I'm making progress on the 5-minute-plank-in-30-days program. I kept starting and then forgetting to do it, so I finally posted the 30-day planking schedule in my kitchen. It seems to be working. Yesterday was day 3, with 30 seconds in plank position. It went well.
The idea is to get my core muscles back together, which will improve my performance on the bike (because, no matter what anybody says, it is always about the bike). My peak performances this year were a 28-MPH solo sprint and a stiff climb at around 15 MPH. I'd like to best those by quite a bit next year.
I don't ever expect to be a really blistering sprinter -- my upper body strength will probably never be that great, and that makes a difference in the sprint -- but I do think I'm turning into a respectable rouleur and I continue to Climb Well For My Weight.
In other news, I have been wrestling with a bad episode of depression for the past several days. I suppose it has probably been going on for a while and I have just been pushing it to the back burner.
I notice that a lot of the old anorexic thinking is there, just beneath the surface, waiting for moments like that to sweep in. I had one day that I stepped on the scale for no good reason (just being obsessive), noted a slight uptick in my weight, and then the fallout of all those thoughts came after.
Thus far, I have (obviously, if you look at my food diaries) kept the behavioral aspect at bay (even on days when I've had no appetite to speak of), but I am realizing that it might be time to come up with some more proactive solutions for dealing with both the depression and the eating disorder stuff.

Forgot to weigh in on Monday. Not too bad for a largely off-the bike week.
