Diet Comment

This is the equivalent of no change.

While I think it is above my 'perfect' weight, that idea is not based on science. It's just a belief, and I am more than happy with the weight I'm at. You can't trust/believe everything you think.

Diet Comment

Four pounds. in the two weeks I was in Florida, my net weight gain was four pounds.

Given how distant my diet was from its usual - drastically reduced amount of vegetables and beans and more refined carbs, for instance - I feel like I've gotten away with something. In a way, I have - I was actually heavier four days ago when I got back! I've been losing weight eating at home the last three days.

I think I will not gain any weight for a while, as I get back on track with my home cooking and regular eating plan. I suspect I may enjoy a little weight loss going forward.

Food Log

Breakfast
1:45pm: Veggie scramble (3 eggs, spinach, mushrooms, onions, peppers, garlic, Swiss cheese).

Lunch

4:30pm: Brussels sprouts with goat and parmesan cheese.

Dinner

10:15pm: A Quest bar and pistachio nuts.

Leo's sleepiness is contagious.

Food and Diet

Today's Weight:                     191.8 lbs.

Previous Weight (12/24/25):         192.3 lbs.

Net Loss/Gain:                     -  0.5 lbs.

Diet Comment

From the standpoint of weight loss and gain, the above chart is quite misleading. On December 19, when I weighed myself after coming back from Chiang Mai, Thailand, my weight was 196 pounds. By Christmas, when I'd been sick with pneumonia for a couple of weeks, I had lost around four. By the time I recovered, I had lost fifteen pounds. My six-week LA-Cuenca-LA sandwich, I gained back ten, and now, here we are. January 11 and the last five days are the only actual weights I have. It has likely not been as smooth a restoration to a healthy weight as it looks, but who knows.

Anyway, the point is, I have had three visits with my grandson Leonardo and he is doing great and is totally adorable, and I totally adore him.

I'm going to Florida for a week-and-a-half. I'll pick up the blog the Monday after I get back.
