As I suspected ...

The edema on my legs has re-inflated a bit. I think that will account for the extra pound this week. I expected it, frankly, I expected more. But, one pound of additional fluid is more than enough, thankyouverymuch.

My big fear is that the edema will continue to inflate and the pounds will come back more and more, hiding any real progress I might have made. We'll see.

My feet and ankles are finally back to the point of being able to walk short distances with no discomfort. However, medium distances are still problematic. On Saturday, I went a bit carb crazy - but I also did a bit of walking and driving. Nothing outlandish - walking from the car to the movie theater kind of thing. Just that little walking made me want to go home and put my feet up.

Nothing about my weight loss journey is going to be fast or pretty. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming ....
