A Watched Kettle Never Boils

I've sometimes run across monster bouncebacks of up to 15 pounds to some extent I've exacerbated issues with my diet about 3 weeks back I had a job offer that fell through (paperwork contingencies) itlooked as though I would be moving to Pennsylvania I had a lot of canned goods that I didn't want to move or throw out good food. So maybe salt intake led to higher water retention , etc. But finally this morning I'm about 2 off my recent low. maybe 3 lbs away my 2004 low. I'm still well above my healthy weight target--enough to be classified as morbidly obese at a recent hospital stay. But  there is notable progress in the sense that I have run out of notches on my recent belt, and older pants are too baggy.

It used to be I could buy Australian grass-fed beef at ShopRite for about $3.99/lb vs. $5.50/lb at Walmart; I guess I hadn't shopped there in a while because on my last trip it was up a whopping $3 a lb; they were selling conventionally-finished T-bone steaks cheaper! (Yes, I bought the steak.)
