This is the public group rationality diary for June 22th - July 11th, 2015. It's a place to record and chat about it if you have done, or are actively doing, things like:
-
Established a useful new habit
-
Obtained new evidence that made you change your mind about some belief
-
Decided to behave in a different way in some set of situations
-
Optimized some part of a common routine or cached behavior
-
Consciously changed your emotions or affect with respect to something
-
Consciously pursued new valuable information about something that could make a big difference in your life
-
Learned something new about your beliefs, behavior, or life that surprised you
-
Tried doing any of the above and failed
Or anything else interesting which you want to share, so that other people can think about it, and perhaps be inspired to take action themselves. Try to include enough details so that everyone can use each other's experiences to learn about what tends to work out, and what doesn't tend to work out.

Chemistry so far. Control theory next.
I had weighed at most 200 and at least 150 pounds since 2007. I set my target at 175 pounds as a 5'10" male.
Absolutely, but I decided that I could not justify it. I travel for work and would prefer not to have the extra weight and space of it.
excellent work on the notes,
I would suggest a number lower than 175 pounds, but that depends on your muscle vs fat composition.
sounds like a good call. What about other fitness/activity trackers? wearables etc. To further manage the health-balance
