Saturday, December 19: Uric acid serum level and things which affect it

12/18/2020

The weather: Forecast says more snow. And the temperature is below zero at night but the snow slowly melts during the day. We got a dusting of snow during the night. And a quite heave fall when we walked home.
Breakfast: Starbucks, bread and gingerbread latte.
Lunch: Steamed cabbage and onion in leftover curry with cheese.
​Late lunch, waiting for my UASure test strips. They arrived at the distributing post office at 0800, according to the mail from USPS. Then it got "out for distribution" at 0932. The parcels usually get hete either at 1100 or 1400. It is way past 1100 now, so let us see when it arrives.
Snack: A banana (well, sort of dessert, really). And my test strips came around 4 PM, but I haven't got a message about it yet.
Dinner: Soup (from the family hot pot).
Todays supplements and dosage: No supplement today. Well, maybe gingerbread spice counts :-)
Todays UA reading: 7.0 mg/dL, and I got an email from USPS that the UASure test strips are on their way now. I lived in the US during the last millenium, and I had never expected this level of service from them! And since I am getting status updates from the Japanese post office, it must mean they are interconnected somehow. They delivered at 1700, but I did not get a message about it until 23:30, so this is not real-time. But now I am set for the next six months.
Todays step count: 12346 steps
How much did I drink today?: Starbucks Gingerbread latte 0.5 liter, coffee 1 liter, water 2.5 liter, total 4 liters. This means I drank 1 1/10 US gallon today too.
This weeks weight: 121.1 kg
How many times did I go to the toilet today? #1 6 times , #2 1 time (I explained before, but it may be worth mentioning again - Number one comes out in front, number two in back).
My urine pH this morning (for why this matters, read more here): 5, normally it should be 6.
Was my urine strange in any way? No. Smelled a bit of coffee. Maybe that explains the pH, since coffee is more acidic than urine, which normally has a pH of 6. pH 7 is neutral.
How many minutes did I use the Sixpad Foot Fit Plus? None, I did not sit at my desk today.
