Leo's sleepiness is contagious, but only one of us is jet-lagged.

Food and Diet

Today's Weight:                     196.0 lbs.

Previous Weight (4/16/26):          195.1 lbs.

Net Loss/Gain:                     +  0.9 lbs.

Diet Comment

While I am not concerned with the weight loss or gain in any one day, I do pay attention to trends. The trend of weight gain since the end of 2025 has to do with the rather extreme weight loss I suffered in December of that year, when I was down with viral pneumonia, and lost eight pounds in four days. I've been gaining weight since my recovery (overall).

However, since my travels ended at the end of March, we see something shaping up more stable, with all weights within a four pound range around 194. This makes me happy.
