Later On

I was closing Chrome at the exact instant we had a power failure, and all my installed extensions simply vanished. Worse, I never saved the list of what I had…  :sigh:

And that’s how we learn valuable lessons. I now clip the list of extensions and save that page in Evernote.

I’ve now lost just a little more than 45 lbs. More important, I’m back under the line. "The line" is the well  known line drawn on a graph in which the x-axis is calendar days and the y-axis is one’s weight: you draw a line from the point that represents your weight on the day that you begin to the point that represents the goal weight on the goal day (which for me is the end of February). So long as your weight stays under that line, you’re fine: you’ll reach goal weight on or before the goal day. But if your weight goes above that line, that means you have lost insufficient weight by the date shown to meet your goal: you’re falling behind.

Apparently somewhere along the way I fell behind, but I am now back under the line. And now I know not to celebrate the success of my plateau buster (morning weight 204.4 lbs) with a big dinner. So I skipped the lamb chop.

Murray & Lanman’s Florida Water is the original US version of Cologne water (aka simply as “cologne”). A citrus-y fragrance, it’s quite pleasant. I used Giovanni’s Florida Water shaving soap with the Grosvenor mixed badger/boar brush and got a fine lather and plenty for three passes. The redoubtable bulldog iKon open-comb with a Swedish Gillette blade did its usual superb job, and a splash of Murray & Lanman at the end finished the job. (The label is gone, but that is indeed Murray & Lanman Florida Water.)
