Huh

 232.3

I'm surprised. I thought surely the amount I ate yesterday would equal a gain today rather than stopping me back down to what I was on Saturday.

I wonder if I need to pay more attention to my protein and fiber intake. When I've had food cravings lately, it's been very specific (fried chicken, to be precise, and then the rotisserie chicken yesterday). That definitely feels like a protein thing. I also don't poop at much as I did off the medication (which seems like I should be gaining rather than losing, but I guess it's because I don't have the volume of food to process), and maybe more fiber would help. I do take a fiber supplement, but maybe I need to look at my food choices more closely. 

Anyway, I'm relieved. Next weekend will be a bit of a test. I'm flying to St. Louis on Friday for a very quick trip to visit my in-laws, mainly to attend a baby shower for my niece on Saturday. I'm just flying in Friday night and back on Sunday morning, but I'm sure there will be plenty of food and wine. We'll see how I fair. 

I'm pleased that I'm nearing a 40-lb loss from my highest weight. I'm pretty sure I topped out at 271, although I didn't document it and although I was 266 at the start of August, I'm still counting those extra five pounds. 🤣 Even with the success I have had, it's daunting to think that I still have 60+ lbs to go to reach my target of 170. 

If my weight loss stays at about this speed, I would hit my target right around the time we go skiing in March, but I'm not expecting that to be the case. I need to work out do I can actually survive a couple days of skiing, and I'm pretty sure assuming muscle will have some kind of impact on my weight loss, although I didn't know what that will look like. More muscle means more density, but it also means more calorie-burning potential.
