    I'm up 3 pounds (!). I noted elsewhere that I had a bout of gout that started last Friday, and I've been piling on the Motrin, plus a round of colchicine, plus extra fluid, and I completely cut out alcohol and evening snakcs. Thus, I'm sure that the weight-gain is fluid-retention more than anything. Nevertheless, it stinks. I am currently over my WW goal weight, and officially "overweight" again. Ugh.

    My toe is improving, but is not completely resolved, so I'll be taking meds and fluids for at least a few days more. We'll be away for a few days too, so that's not going to help.

    The struggle is real.

    It was a good week, overall. I was on plan for the past seven days. I ended the calendar week Saturday with 44 weekly points available, and as of my weigh-in this Thursday I had 58 weekly points available.

    And I was up 0.8 pounds. Hmmm . . . .

    Honestly, I chalk the gain up to the fact that I weighed in at a different time of day than normal. All of my rites, rituals, habits, practices, and even the double-secret handshake are designed for a weigh-in on Thursday evenings. Because of that, I (normally) weigh less at that point than I do in the morning.

    So this one gets a big shrug. It’s not enough to worry about, I think I know why I was up, and I think I did well for the week. Life goes on - and that’s the truth (he said, channeling his inner Edith Ann.)

    Up a whopping 6.4 lbs. Lots of water/fluid retention due to bladder issue. Got back around 1:00pm after being at Urologist office. Emptied around 800 ml + there @ Dr office. So I will just have to do the best I can with what I have going on. Yesterday's bladder test and this am replacing catheter were brutal.

    I’ll just go with “yuck”, because I suspect that’s what lies ahead for me at some point - a new skill I was hoping never to need to master.
