Last week I said: "traveling all week this could be a challenge." Well you have no idea. This will likely rebound maybe.

Flew to Ft. Myers from NY/LI to board up my mother-in-law's house and DRIVE her the 1,800 miles north to LI, stopping in Raleigh to see her daughter and son.

Trying to NOT eat the 2 boxes of Bob Evans sausage, 4 eggs, multiple waffles, and half a loaf of bread and other "love" food she knows I don't eat.......I hast fully mixed a large 32 oz of blender-ed/chopped carrots, celery, 4 apples, and a bunch of nuts and guzzled it down. About the consistency of mulch. about 5 hours later made ANOTHER. The for "dinner" I caved and had a massive bowl of bean soup with about a half a pound of German spaetzle (my wife and whole family is German/Yugoslavian/Hungarian) I HAD to eat the whole casserole bowl because we would have to throw it all out???

Woke up at 2 am in a bit of pain in my right side.......not the left and lower like my 4 boughts of diverticulitis in 2017, 2018, 2019, last year when they gave me narcotics for my knee operation (a no-no but they missed it)

Well I decide to tough it out and went from Ft. Myers/Northport FL to just about Jacksonville FL and the pain was TOO much. Checked in, NG tube down my nose to my stomach and intestines (small), an echo, a CT Scan, and then some live x-ray tracking and 1.5 liters of "stuff" pumped out of my intestines. My "blockage" was cleared. 2.5 days later I was out and driving to Raleigh to pick up Mom-Mom. Her son had driven the 12 hours round trip to take her up when I got admitted.

Jumped on the scale after a week and viola. Only been having clear liquids, jello, and now plant based yogurt.

5.8 lbs from Monday to Monday. Yikes. a few pictures below. (maybe tmi)

Anyway hoping to keep some of this off, I thought with all the fluids taken, but I have been drinking and taking on liquids for days so maybe the 2 days of NO food burned the fat off??

We will see.....the tale is in the "tape"

thomasjohnlynch, may you have a full and speedy recovery ... of health without the pounds.

Geez @thomasjohnlynch hope you are well soon!

SW: 195.4 lbs
GW: 140 lbs
LW: 159 lbs
CW 159 lbs

0 loss or gain. Basically maintained this weight for 4 months looking at my weight graph (April - July) So that is a win of some sorts!

Up a little bit from last week. Not really sure why either, since I've been exercising and walking a lot more, and completing my diary with most days being under my calorie goal. Oh well, it is what it is. I'm doing the C25K program again and my 8 year old daughter is doing it with me. So at least I'm getting healthier overall.

I found water retention for recovery from running higher than when I weight train. It happens when you start doing a lot of a new exercise, muscles retain water and glycogen. Also, salty foods can keep the water weight high....could be a combo of these, once running is a routine, it might all settle out...I admire anyone who sticks with running, I find it hard...so kudos : )

Also MegansMom2011, are you drinking enough water/liquids? I have 3 - 4 litres a day. But I am a sweaty bod....ha!

All good points. Yes, I drink a ton of water every day. The only thing I drink is water and black coffee.

I'm thinking that I must be retaining water from salty food or something. Either way, I'm not going to stop going for the goals!
