I don't know. It could, of course, be worse - it could be a gain. But, well, after two days (I didn't weigh myself yesterday, so there was no update), it is a loss - but I'm still carrying a bit too much weight.

Diet Comment

I'm not happy with this result. Given what I ate yesterday, I was expecting a loss. Sure, it was a lot of food, but nothing off-plan. Grrrr. Note: No update tomorrow. I have an early dental appointment, a few chores and rehearsal that will throw me off for the day, and not give me a chance to weigh in before breakfast, which will not be at home.

Highest weight of the year. Ugh. I ate a lot over the Labor Day weekend. I did avoid eating at restaurants (and, as always, the State Fair and it's horrible food), but I did eat a lot, especially late at night. Sigh. This can't continue, but I am not certain how I'll stop it. Yet.
