3+ weeks into the new tracker sheet, I haven't NOT taken 200mg caf to kick-start the day,
or the cocktail of [phytosterol + isoflavone + creatine] powders;
and the one time I skipped cocoa / soy protein bev, it was to have some other high-protein jigger.
Clearly those habits are solid; those tracker rows aren't functional, just empty ritual.
The 29g protein bev does figure into protein tracking though, so that should stay on the sheet.

Last year I had a row-per-day tracker with:
weight, cal / p.grams :: whole-day p.index, "run" flag (i.e. "y" on days I hit the treadmill), "str" (no idea)
By July the scale was packed in storage so weight tracking fell by the wayside;
but it shows I started 2025 right around 220, worked down as low as 207.x in April. So, being back at 220 is disappointing, but still very reversible.

For historical curiosity, I had also noted weights since I quit smoking in early 2007:
2007-09ish: 157 (per LJ, as since archived to local)
2009-06-04: 169.8 ( " )
2010-90-30: 190-195ish ( " )
2013-04-09: 183 (per FB)

Compare vs. BMI tiers for 5' 9.5" males:

Obese: BMI 30.0+ :: 205.8#+
Overweight: BMI 25+ ::  171.5#+
Middle of "normal": BMI 21.7 :: 149#
BMI 20.0 : 137.5#
"Normal" / healthy: BMI 18.5+ :: 127#+
Underweight: BMI <18.5 :: <127# 
...Bearing in mind always that BMI is less precise an indicator than the decimal places imply.
