Diet Comment

I'm going to guess that this increase is due to a combination of the block of cheese I had at dinner (high sodium) and not enough liquids during the day. Note: Next blogged day is Monday, July 4 - I'm out visiting friends Friday - no computer until Sunday.

Without being particularly careful, and having, in the final analysis, only one off-plan meal - it included pasta, was wonderful, and I also didn't over-drink - we have a weight chart victory: Goal weight (close enough, really!), a negative trend line, and I feel great!

Diet Comment

So, the odometer kicked over - I started this blog two thousand days ago - just under five-and-a-half years ago, and I've been in maintenance mode for just slightly less than five years. It's been good for me to do this, I guess - the last five years have been great for me. 

As to the day's weight, well, I went off-plan and had a meal heavy on bread, hummus and dips (in other words, lots of carbs), all that was available to me during a five-hour recording session.

Breakfast
4:15pm: 

Dal Tadka (lentil curry) with ground beef, chia seeds, and hemp seeds over broccoli.

Lunch
8:45pm:  Quest bar and banana.

Dinner
1:45am, at Mama Nancy's:

Half order of Big Anthony's Frittata (eggs, sausage, pepperoni, Swiss cheese, onions, peppers, broccoli, potatoes) and dry rye toast.

Liquid Intake
   Espressos: 2;  Coffee:  16 oz.;  Water: 48+ oz.  Two shots of Jameson's Irish whiskey.
