Diet Comment

I am very proud of this weight gain, because it could have easily been a pound-and-a-half more. I spent the last three days eating restaurant food, and even one day typically adds a pound-and-a-half. So, an it-could-have-been-worse victory. Now to see if I can take off some weight this weekend (unlikely, but not impossible).
