Previous Weight (6/29/22):         199.2 lbs.

Net Loss/Gain:                     + 1.1 lbs.

Diet Comment

I have gained weight, about a pound a day, every single day since I started taking my two new prescription drugs for sciatica just over a week ago. I am now at my high weight of the year (exactly 6 months into the year). They have certainly helped with the pain, but this side effect of weight gain is an unwelcome trend. 

Food Log

Breakfast
1:35pm: Oatmeal-plus (rolled oats, chia and hemp seeds, whey protein, blueberries, walnuts, Greek yogurt, kefir, nutritional yeast, cacao nibs, mushroom powder, cinnamon, stevia). and a sous-vide egg drop with bacon and cheddar cheese.

Lunch
Skipped.

Dinner
10:15pm: Swiss cheese and walnuts, and a square of 86% Peruvian chocolate with cacao nibs and sea salt.

Looking at the almost-vertival line of my weight gain, having reached my heaviest weight of the year, I can't help but noticing the gain begins at exactly the same time as I started taking medication for my sciatica attack. Hmmm.

A nice loss over the weekend, and now I'm back in the 'new normal' range. I'm a little surprised, because after receiving a Father's Day gift from Alex of an assortment of nuts, I went a little nuts on them (sorry). I just couldn't stop eating them, probably more than a pound! And yet...

Diet Comment

Oof - that's a noticeable 1-day gain. Last night's two-plus hour eating marathon, which included lots of calories and some carbs, and a lack of my usual amount of hydration, is responsible, I think. I'm going to have to take it a bit easier on the food today.
