59Carol's Journal, 30 November 2019

It is here! Onderland! After all the anticipation and inching my way towards it I finally got there. Still a ways to go but will be nice not to have a '2' leading the way.

Once again the numbers rule! I ate on average 1209 calories over the last 8 days and the result was a 1.8 pound loss. My goal is to average between 1185 and 1210 calories with the expectation that I will have a loss. And that is what happened. I love correlations that work. I don't like it when it feels like I have magically lost or gained since I have no idea as to why either happened. I want to know what the target is and aim for it knowing that success will occur if my aim is fairly good.

Since this is month end it is good to note that during this month I have lost a total of 5.6 pounds with no week logging in a gain. There were a couple of squeakers of 0.2 and 0.6 losses but they weren't gains.

I found some nice hardwood flooring when I was in GP and even better it was about 50% less than expected. It is maple and will look lovely once it is installed. I have emptied out my bedroom, study and living room in anticipation of the fellows coming in on Monday. Last night I slept in the basement since that is where all my stuff is. The goal is to have it done by Christmas. The two fellows are hard working and talented. I have known both of them since they were children and now they are around 40! Point is I have faith in the two of them.

The Grapes of Wrath was an interesting production and it was lovely to see my young friend playing the banjo throughout the production. I also have my international license -- good thing only the car rental agency people are likely to ever see it as the picture is beyond awful. I am sure I have tipped some continuum into new levels of just how awful a picture can really be!

198.4 lb Lost so far: 70.1 lb.    Still to go: 28.4 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
