After ten days at the same weight, I guess it would have been a lot to expect the first change to be a loss, but two consecutive days of restaurant meals feels like it made a gain inevitable, not just accidental.

Diet Comment

Usually, this 'no change' weigh-in would not get a comment. But this particular one is unchanged over six days, and that after a long weekend of big restaurant meals and a lot of carbs in New York City. So, remarkable. I'm going to be risking a rise in weight over the next few days with babka from Breads Bakery. I allow myself one per NYC visit, and this is a good one. It will be making an appearance in the food log today, no doubt to a negative effect on my weight, but a positive effect on my mood.

Food Log

Breakfast
1:20pm: Prosciutto, lentils, mozzarella, cabbage omelet. Breads Bakery apple babka.

Lunch

Skipped.

Dinner
