re: Odysseus' Weight Loss/Gain Log - Never ever ever give up

Hi, all
I sorta abandoned this log the past 3 or so weeks, mostly due to adding full-time work to my schedule.
Well, I've decided to leave Amazon after an extremely brief stint. I don't think I have ever had more mind numbing, depressing work in my life. Scanning items for 10 hours, no headphones allowed (I broke this rule, as much as I could), scanning rate tracked, can't bring in bags that aren't clear, people patrolling your work area looking for wrong doing. Just a really bleak work experience. Not the most physically demanding job (it is demanding, and not in a functional way, but you aren't lifting much more than 30-40 pounds), but after 10 hours of repetitive motion, your body is kinda pissed at you. I actually went to my doctor the day before Thanksgiving and she told me I had bursitis and that there was really nothing to do other than rest or some sort of shot if it didn't get better in 7-10 days.
I was still eating right, but my workouts stopped completely being on the night shift. My body was having a hard time adjusting and I was as depressed as I've ever been. I'm back to doing doordash for now, and by next week I'll start working out again. I've dropped my caloric intake to back around 2000.
It feels good to be back to a normal sleeping schedule. It took me a day to adjust.
Anyway, just one check in, something of which should be far more regular.
Later!

Did your weight go up any without the exercise?
