There's a nice loss, offsetting a week of gains, and taking me back to what I consider the okay range (under 200.9 pounds). I know weight, as opposed to body composition, isn't the best way to consider health, but when all you have is a hammer...

Diet Comment

I'm not particularly happy that I didn't lose weight yesterday, but I know why: Breads Bakery chocolate babka. Specifically, half a whole babka. Today, when I checked, not only was my weight up, but my blood sugar was a little high. But there's no more babka, and that will make weight loss easier going forward.
