1/8/13 - It took me a week to figure this out

Aug 01, 2013

Well, it took a week of not so good eating, i.e. the peanut problem, but I put one and one together and came up with two.

Halleluiah!

The peanut problem and the six month blog posting.   They are connected.  Uh huh, yep, they are.

At six months I was crowding the 220 pound barrier.  220.4 pounds.   I haven't been in the two teens in 30 years.  Is it a scary transition?  I didn't think so, but apparently some part of me did.

So what did I do, when I was about to break through that milestone?   I ate peanuts, several days in a row, guaranteeing that at my weigh-in on July 29, I was up in body weight due to salt and water retention and pushed that 220 marker a wee bit further away.

Sheesh!  I'm 64 ... it took me a bit to put the two events together.  The six month post-op post, the 220 marker, and peanuts.  They fit.

Peanuts are gone, I'm expecting, but not counting on, a water weight whoosh, sooner rather than later.   If it's later rather than sooner, that's okay, too, because I've had somewhat of an understanding of my motivations.
