missdianeHappy Easter if you observe. I had a hard boiled egg this morning if that counts lol
Cute thing if you haven't heard about it. If you go to weather.com and click the "Retro cast now" up in the top left corner, it gives you the weather like the actual old Weather Channel style with the elevator music and everything! IYKYK
Lost another .7 to be down to 195.2. Considering I didn't track calories but just tried to stay aware of things, that's good. Progress is progress when you have insulin resistance and shit metabolism. I also think going to the pool one day and going on the stationary bike for 20 minutes on Friday (couldn't do more since the knee was annoyyyyyed) helped. Not for as much that it burned calories, which obviously it did, but the activity likely did a good job of boosting the metabolism so I need to continue to increase activity as I can. Still going to contact the doctor in a week or so to let her know that it's time to go up to the next dose.
I'll be getting my workout later this week when Emily and I go to Brooklyn on Thursday for a Friday night concert and will come back Saturday. We're taking the train in rather than trying to drive - mainly because of the hotel reviews saying that the parking sucks. So with that and the fact that we're going to spend a chunk of the time wandering around Manhattan, we'll for sure be getting our steps in. I'll be bringing KT Tape to reinforce the ol' knees.
We're up to 955 subscribers and 2100 and change watch hours so getting there! Once I get to 1000, I should have the ability to turn off mid-roll ads which for ASMR channels is key. If you're monetized, you get less (not that I care either way with that) but not having interruption in the middle of the soothing sound will hopefully get people watching more of the video so the watch hours improve.
