Not an unexpected gain. I ate about 500 calories over yesterday. Not a huge amount of food, but food higher in calories 😐 Hubby took a sandwich tray to poker Tues. night & there were leftovers. I grabbed one of the sandwich pieces & it was 400 calories...add some cole slaw & a few chips and my lunch was much higher than usual. I cooked the rack of pork for dinner I had bought at Costco. I didn't freeze it when we got home so it needed to be cooked. As usual I sliced off a chop each for Hubby & I.
We still have sandwiches left so I told Hubby we should eat them for dinner. That's usually my highest calorie meal. There was also part of a fruit tray left & I forgot 2 mornings in a row to serve it for breakfast, when we always have fruit. So lunch today was more fruit...cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, strawberries & apple with vanilla yogurt & some granola. I was tempted to eat something else after but resisted the urge. Sa ing the rest of my calories for tonight.
Yesterday I spent some time digging up weeds. I wish there was a way to stop the grassy weeds from returning to the front gardens each Spring. I need to spray the path with weed killer & some of the garden area with Grass B Gone.
One of the hummingbird feeders was totally empty already & I washed & refilled it today. I also spread coffee grounds in some of the pots on the deck. The squirrels have been digging in the dirt to bury peanuts. Supposedly they don't like coffee grounds & they're good for the plants. If that doesn't work I'll sprinkle hot pepper flakes on the soil as well.
One of our local Festivals is returning this weekend after 2 years of not being held due to Covid. There is always a Gospel Jam on Sunday morning so I'm planning for us to go.
I'm reading the book for Book Club that is next Wed. I had tried to read another book by this author, I didn't care for & ended up returning to the library unfinished. Thankfully, I'm enjoying this one, much more.
I saw my cardiologist on Monday. Everything is going well. I had rescheduled an appointment for an Echocardiagram because our company was here. He said he likes to see me after not before so he said we could bump it out til my next visit in 6 months since I was doing so well. I had an episode of Atrial fibrillation shortly after I turned 50. That was resolved but it was discovered I have a condition called Epstein's Anomaly that I probably had at birth. I see the cardiologist to monitor it & my general heart health. There have been no worsening changes over the years so it is nothing that affects my ability to live normally. But, it is just another reason to keep my weight at a healthy level, exercise & try to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Almost time for our afternoon walk. It's a nice day....low 70's. mostly sunny with a few scattered fluffy clouds.
