Oh, no! The return of yesterday's lost weight. Was it the egg roll I ate during I am Fool rehearsal? Unlikely, at least by itself, as it weighed far less than a pound. But it might have turned on fat storage. It's no big deal, anyway. I'm happy when my weight is under 200 pounds.

No change, and I still haven't had a bowel movement. It is painful, and I will 'force' the issue, and stop taking the sciatica medication. I expect my weight to drop, accordingly, tomorrow.

Diet Comment

I don't know how much of an increase this is. If yesterday's guess was wrong, I could have gained more weight than the chart shows. Or, if it was wrong in the other direction, actually lost weight. I don't know. But this is my actual weight, the highest it's been all year. I know it is the new prescription drug I am taking, effecting my metabolism. They are also giving me some constipation problems. I usually weigh myself after a bowel movement, but I did not have one yesterday, and that may make all the difference.

Diet Comment

I didn't weigh myself - the weights for the last four days are guesses. Why? Because I was awakened this morning by a phone call from my physical therapist, setting up my first appointment to treat my sciatica and chronic lower back pain. I had to get out of bed to give my medical insurance information. I then went to the post office to mail a certified letter. Three hours passed before I got back to sleep. When I woke up, at 2pm, all I could think about was eating, how hungry I was. I never thought about weighing myself until I had finished breakfast. Too late.
