59Carol's Journal, 16 November 2019

Once again the numbers tell the tale! This time it is a totally happy story. I lost a full 2 pounds because I ate on average 40 calories below the lowest calorie window that I set myself. I had one day where I was over my plan by 200 calories. So the moral of my story is eat inside the window and the weight will come off!

Exciting for me is how close Onderland is coming. Just a half pound away! I am so looking forwards to not putting a '2' in front. Saying that, today is likely going to be above the window as I am not eating at home for lunch or supper. Supper is a set unknown meal beyond that it is a Roast Beef meal. So I will have to rock and roll through it.

My news for this week is that I am getting further in my plans to go to southern France this summer with my grandkids. I am also expecting my other family members to join me off and on throughout my two week stay. As of this week, I have bought the flight tickets, booked a car and have all the insurance stuff figured out. I already have accommodations sorted. Next on that list will be planning the actual itinerary.

Tonight I give a short speech at the Festival of Trees thanking volunteers, and encouraging the Gala goers to loosen their purse strings during the auction. I am the Chair of the Women's Shelter Board so that is why I get to do the speech. Our goal is to be able to provide Second Stage Housing for the ladies and their children beyond the Emergency Shelter Housing that we currently have.

Good luck at the gala, hope you raise a lot of money for your cause! I also find that the numbers don't lie. Gotta find what works but calories in, calories out deficit works for me.

Thanks Abba! There was a great turn out and the trees and other items were really of excellent quality. The economy is depressed in our area since we rely on oil and gas so the money may not have rolled in. However, everyone was in the mood to be supportive. I find that the calorie counting works really well for me. I am 65 weeks into the journey and have averaged a 1.1 pound loss per week. That feels good to me!

First: Congrats on your drop...and reaching Onderland (I just know you will this week). Second: France will be fun now that you have the healthier body to move and enjoy it. Third: Thank you for being a force for good causes. People like you make our little world a better place. God bless. :)

Binky -- that is really kind of you on all accounts. Onederland, France and volunteering for worthy causes are all important aspects of my life. I want to be healthy, I want new experiences and to build memories with the grandkids and family and I want a world where we care for our vulnerable people. I am a firm believer that if I want something then I need to find a way to move my dreams forwards in some manner - can be big or small movement just so long as I am trending in the direction I value!

You are doing amazing. Your plans for France sound so exciting. Lots of eating out is a challenge but I know how well you plan. This is the week that the 1’s begin. Well done.👏

I am certainly hoping for the 1's to start. I jumped up to 201.8 a couple of days ago. Today it is 200.0. So close I can taste it!! I think I am weighing in tomorrow morning instead of Saturday as I will be in GP Saturday morning without my scale. I want to eat on plan today and hope to see it dip below 200 tomorrow morning.
