Zeno

Weigh-in today: 175.6, up 1 pound from last week. So total loss is 97.4.
Last year, when I was averaging a loss of about 2 pounds a week, I got a bad case of uck just before Thanksgiving, lost six pounds in one week, and then gained 2 of them back the next.

This year, averaging about 1 pound a week, I got a mild case of uck just before Thanksgiving, lost three pounds in one week, and then gained 1 of them back. The halving of last year's numbers amuses me mightily. It's like the Zeno's paradox of weight loss.

Maybe next year (when I'll hopefully be maintaining), I'll have a vague case of queasies, lose a pound and a half, and then gain three-quarters of it back.
