Satisfying

[susandennis]

The hard drive replacement in the TiVo turned out to be a nothing job. I went very slowly and carefully and read the instructions multiple times and still it only took about an hour start to everything loaded back and operational. It took longer to find the damn coax tool than do the whole hardware part.



I did find it and when I was done, I left it behind the TiVo on the coax cable. Hopefully, next time

God, I'm tired of looking for shit.

I had the rest of yesterday's Poke bowl for lunch and it was delicious.

A few weeks ago, I decided I was really tired of getting into bed at night and being uncomfortable from too big a dinner. So I stopped eating too big a dinner. I started eating more for breakfast. A bigger lunch. And a snack, usually a bowl of cereal, for dinner. It's been way better. No more uncomfortable sleeps. Also, it just feels like I'm eating less. I had also, at the same time, reached peak weight. 250 pounds. I mean caboose.

When I hit 50, I decided that I no longer cared and I'd eat what I wanted when I wanted and whap whap whap, I hit 250, 20 years later. I've always known that if I changed the way I ate - took in fewer calories and smarter calories, I could lose the weight. I just was never motivated to. I'm still not. I still plan to eat what I want but I just plan to want it earlier in the day than later!

I started getting on the scales first thing in the morning a month or so ago when I got my Wyze scale. So I know I've lost 5 pounds since I started the upside down eating. I'd be ok with losing more but mainly I'm after comfort. And good eats. Just earlier.

You should tag this entry "coax tool" so that you can easily find out where you put the tool next time you need it.

You've just fixed that for me! I never remember to use tags, or search them BUT... All LJ comments go into gmail in an LJ folder so that's where I search. And now you've bumped up my chances of finding! So, thanks!!

M&D started eating just appetizers when they went out to dinner for that same reason. We tend to eat pretty early which does much the same thing. But after reading about your hamburgers I was hungry today so I made pork chops for lunch and we'll snack dinner. Good influence.

Ohhhh pork chops sound good! I like being a good influence :)

That's a smart way of eating and still giving yourself freedom! I do that with fasting. I loooove Poke bowls.

My double monitor stand has its own particular hex key. I taped it to the base the first time I set it up and when I replaced one screen last winter it was right where I needed it. And even though it's less important nowadays, I always put any disks & instruction books inside the case of the desktop computer to which they belong.

I wish the rest of my life was so organized. lol

I had to replace a TiVo hard drive once. It was fast; probably the longest part was cleaning all the darned dust out of the inside of the box. The company that sent the replacement hard drive (weaKnees) was kind enough to send all the tools too, so that helped.

[susandennis]

yep weaknees is the best. and yeah that dust was pretty amazing.

I had a couple of really uncomfortable evenings when I went to bed too soon after a large meal. And I agree, just shifting things earlier makes SO much difference. It's amazing.

I'm very surprised at 1 what a diff it makes and 2 why the heck i didn't think of it sooner!
