And, I'm back.
I am restarting my regular blog, with my first weigh-in of 2022. It turns out I lost weight during the three-and-a-half months I was eating carefree and carelessly.
The trip home was relatively easy. I got my exercise in walking from the arrival gate of my flight out of Daytona, to the departure gate of my flight to Syracuse. About half a mile, I'd estimate, with a full pack on my back and my Steinberger in hand.

That was two days ago. I arrived Wednesday. As of today, I still haven't re-established my home 'rhythm'. The good news is that I'm getting the best sleep.
I'm seriously thinking about joining a gym, again. Also, my knee pain is gone, now that I'm back home. That has me re-thinking my plans to get my knees replaced.
One thing that I'm liking is getting back to cooking for myself. Even while I've had an endless succession of great meals these last fifteen weeks, I've missed the things I make for myself. My omelets, scrambles and other egg dishes, my vegetarian sloppy Joes, my salads, my oatmeal dishes.
I've also missed more frequent playing, which kicks in this Sunday. I've been asked to try out a new band, the Jimi Marley Band, led by my friend Frank. If we can make it work, it's going to be a lot of fun, and maybe provide me with even more music action.
I'm glad to be back, and grateful for, well, everything.
Today's Weight: 196.6 lbs.
Previous Weight (11/23/21): 199.8 lbs.
Net Loss/Gain:(115 days elapsed) - 3.2 lbs.
Diet Comment
This is what travel always does - I move more and eat incredibly well. Even the often rich food I was eating in Cuenca, Ecuador - I more bread and desserts, and far fewer vegetables, than my usual diet - can't compete with the metabolic demands of life at 8400' and lots of walking.
Lunch
Skipped.
Snack
5:00pm: A Quest bar.
Dinner
8:50pm: Turkey breast salad (roasted turkey breast, goat cheese, walnuts, arugula, chard, kale and spinach with balsamic vinaigrette), popcorn (with Everything But the Bagel seasoning and nutritional yeast) and a bar of Pacari 72% chocolate.
Liquid Intake
Food Log
Breakfast
1:35pm: Spinach, onion and smoked salmon scramble and Ezekiel 4:9 Flax sprouted grains toast. I would call this a variation of a LEO (SLEO?), but my favorite LEO (besides my own) called it a salmon scramble. Added the spinach to kickstart my vegetable intake.
