Day 86: 278 lbs

No change in my weight since yesterday. I followed all the Diet Commandments (religiously, even!), and consumed 1,478 calories for the day, staying under my 1,500 calorie quota.

I also spent a couple hours outside cutting and moving firewood. We had several truckloads of freshly-cut wood dumped in our yard last week, and while that's great (much easier than cutting and hauling it myself, plus it was free), it needs to be cut into log lengths and stacked so it can dry properly and maybe even be usable by the end of the winter. I got about half the wood moved, but that included most of the biggest logs--some of which are three feet in diameter. The remainder should go faster.

The kids' grandmother came over and watched them, while my wife slept pretty much the entire day. But by evening she was feeling much more herself, and with luck she'll be over this bug today.
