i’m nine weeks into a long flat stretch where my weight is bouncing inside a 1.5-pound window. I lift three times a week, hit my protein, walk after dinner, and the scale just shrugs. Evenings are the tricky part: my appetite is quiet, but my brain still wants a reward.

I’ve been rotating through old crime dramas and a YouTube guy restoring rusty hand tools. Last night I watched two episodes, drank seltzer, and didn’t wander to the pantry. Not a victory lap, just a way to get to bedtime without negotiating with myself.

What are you watching lately that keeps your hands and head occupied? I need a new queue before I sart sorting the recycling again.

Nine weeks flat while lifting 3x is a recomp classic—I’d track waist and gym numbers, not just scale. For evenings, I only watch Taskmaster with herbal tea, no snacks allowed in the room.

It’s funny but low-stakes, so I don’t binge. Real question: are you actually hungry, or just under-stimulated?

If it’s the latter, knitting or a dumb mobile puzzle kills the kitchen urge way better than another crime drama.

This is exactly why I started knitting in front of old Columbo.

rusty restore vidos + a diet root beer are my nightly kitchen-avoidance combo, works weirdly well
