Diet Comment

I knew on Friday that I was going to put on some weight this weekend. Due to a busy playing schedule, I knew I would be dining out on limited, off-plan menu items. I was right, that's what happened, and I would be lying if I didn't say I was relieved that the weight gain was less than a kilo - better than I thought it would be.

Diet Comment

I'm down on myself today - I totally blew it yesterday, after I set out to be very good. For one thing, every time I eat at one of my fav hangs, the Maplewood - the only one of my hangouts that serves good food - my weight is up the next day. Every time. For another, after finishing a reasonable after-jam dinner at home, I proceeded, based only on tiredness and stonedness, to eat a 6-ounce package of Swiss cheese. I woke up knowing I was heavier, but I was surprised by how much! I'm going to try, again, to be really good today. Really. Of course, we'll see how things go.

It is looking like September will be my heaviest month since November, 2020 - almost three years. It hurts to say that, but it must be said. The sad thing is that the first months of this year had the lowest monthly averages since I started tracking at the beginning of 2011.
