Highlights: A couple of decent work days, including a 1:1 lunch with the HR consultant Tuesday. It was a good meeting, and I felt positive about my role/contributions, which was refreshing. I have had issues managing the range of demands, but I'm refining some things and delegating others. My sleep has been problematic, really difficult, so tonight, I'll be trying some medicinal options. I need it for the time being, but not as a crutch. I have also started gaining weight due to wine and carbs creeping into my routine more frequently. Tomorrow starts the aggressive push back to ≤160, and I'm confident I will be there by September. I got this. Today was Jen's birthday, I made sous vide steaks and veggies, and we enjoyed a nice meal and patio time with Lauren. I started rethinking, again, how much 'Vinyl' I want to get further than what I have, if even that. I don't play it often enough, but it's still fun. I'm going to play it by ear (pun intended). Tommy's friend Talon is in town and staying with us for a few days.
