Weight and Body Fat - I continue to Struggle

I continue to struggle.

I was surprised to learn my body fat decreased (by caliper: 24.830%) while my weight increased (262.2; body fat tanita: 35.0%). I can tell my waist is larger than it's been in a while because my suits are much tighter. It's all very depressing.

While I try to eat well, I often fail at the task and succumb to overeating. Particularly, in recent times, I've spent many late nights preparing briefs for consumer litigation I'm currently pursuing. This lack of sleep does not help matters either.

However, I'm in a battle of fitness regimens: I'm trying to measure my physical fitness against my financial fitness. Trying to put it all together is incredibly difficult. I need to improve. Or, it may be serious time to simply consider surgery. I'm right on the edge of eligibility for the surgery I suspct. I believe I could legitimately weight 162.2 - thus, I'm likely at or near 100 pounds overweight. I understand that's the test: Eligibility begins at >= 100 pounds overweight.

I've been rowing more these days but not keeping up with my other endeavors due to demands upon my time in my newfound part-time job as an evening [consumer, self-represented] quasi-attorney (I have a day job as an attorney at a government office). While this has produced some much needed extra income, my health has suffered in some degree because of it. That's unfortunate, but may simply be a trade-off. Indeed, ironic, I say that when the hour is 2:17 a.m.

Hey, did I mention I need to become more efficient and focused?
