Ate too much yesterday but actually went ahead and logged what I remembered. It was the schwarzwalder dark rye bread. 4 slices of toast during the day. I will try for just one slice with coffee this morning. I need to get to a point where I can keep some foods in the house without eating so much. I can do 1/4 bagel, 1/2 English muffin and 1 slice of toast with most breads. But not this rye bread. Hope I can accomplish this today because I don't want to throw a $5 (on sale) loaf of bread away!

I made it through yesterday eating as planned! First time I've been able to do that in over a month. The shorter day helped. I bought a new food scale that weighs in grams as well as ounces. The scale is small and uses batteries. I'm used to my old scale with a removable top that I can put in the dishwasher. I really want it clean after weighing raw chicken or meat. I am not used to grams but so many foods in the database use that as the measurement.

My weight is actually higher but I don't want to see it in writing! I really haven't been eating right. I remember saying I'm either gaining weight or losing it, never maintaining. I'm in the gaining mode now. Trying to start over again. Bought 2 bags of the salad mix I like so plan on making salad with chopped up chicken breast for the next few days. Had it yesterday. I'm also planning on using up the 10 cans of tomato soup in the pantry so won't keep carbs below 100 grams for a week or 2. Will post my weight on Sundays, adding a pound until I reach my actual weight. Hoping I'll be losing though.

Had a realtor come look at my house the other day. But she didn't tell me what price she thinks I should list it at, which is all I really want. I can find all the comparable sales myself online, I actually see homes on Realtor.com that I found more comparable. I plan on going with another realtor, but she also doesn't give me a listing price. Probably because she knows what I'm hoping to sell it for and doesn't want to hurt my feelings. But when I list it, I want it to sell right away so I know it needs to be priced right. I was able to reach the guy who painted kitchen csbinets 2 years ago and he agreed to touch them up (lots of nicks and chips that are my fault). He will also stain my front porch and paint in 4 spots in the house where I had drywall patched. With him doing all that there isn't much more that needs to be done before selling.

Went outside this morning and threw a ball for Bobby to bring back to me about 5 or 6 times since I'm not supposed to walk him with my bad knee per the physical therapist. I see an orthopedist on Friday so I will ask him about that.

Still not doing good. The "reset" on the 25th didn't hold. Don't even think I made it through the 26th. Not sure what's going on in my head, because it is in my head. I think it's a combination of 2 things - the realization I do need surgery of some kind on my knee and the new house I plan on buying and moving to in Oregon. Both for me are major life events and are happening at the same time. And neither is going well. I have no idea when the house will be built. Originally I was told it would be done in April. So I should have put my house up for sale (a 3rd major life event for me and major stressor).

I have been eating stuff I didn't even know I wanted. Way too much ice cream. I finally threw out a half carton of ice cream yesterday. A least they aren't half gallons any anymore. Thanks to shrink-flation the containers are now a quart and a half. I do know that when I am ready to get focussed it just clicks in my head and I don't care about chips or ice cream or crackers with butter, etc. Nothing is clicking now but at least right now the only bad thing in the house is less than a half box of Ritz crackers. And the weather is lousy so I don't want to drive anywhere let alone to the grocery store. It was so windy all day yesterday. I put bird food out on the deck and could see dozens of sparrows, and tiny bright yellow gold finches. In the tree branches holding on for dear life. There are blizzard conditions "up the hill" and people are being cautioned not to drive up to Tahoe, the ski resorts are closed anyway because of the blizzard and crazy wind and potential for avalanches. Down the hill, where I live we just have rain and the crazy wind. There may be some low snow at elevations of 2000-3000 feet, but I am around 1500 or so.

I did walk on the dirt trail 2 days in a row because it is a quick easy 20 minute loop. But my aching knee is reminding me my doctor said not to walk on dirt trails. I go to physical therapy for my knee Monday. It's just an evaluation. I don't want to be doing anything that could hurt me more. Okay, I know it was my decision to walk on the dirt trail.

Yesterday was the first day in over 3 weeks that I actually followed my WOE for the whole day. I was feeling hungry early in the evening and thought about having a small bowl of cereal, but I didn't have anything because I was at my max for carbs for the day. I'm trying to figure out a weekly meal schedule. I actually do better when I eat the same thing all the time so I don't have to think about it. I really only have one meal to think about - lunch. I don't eat dinner and breakfast is usually a hot cup of coffee or tea with something toasted. Right now I am having Cheerios, just for a change. I buy a salad mix to make my favorite salad and that is good for 3 days. I have leftover taco meat in the freezer so will have tacos for 2 days. Then probably half a tuna sandwich for the remaining 2 days. Not big meals but enough for me. I have pumpkin seeds and mozzarella string cheese for snacks to add more protein and usually have a 16 ounce glass of fat free milk. Hoping I have success on this 2nd day! Dentist appointment later this morning.
