Debbie Cousins's Journal, 18 May 2021

Well, it's Day #16, and I experienced my first GAIN since starting. Probably due to the candy debacle - which probably made me produce some glycogen and thus hold onto some water weight. Or, it could be that I got up at 3am this morning, and if I had slept until six, I would have had another pee.

Going to vacuum the pool again today. Grands coming over tomorrow for pool opening. The kids will be hungry when they get here (they're coming at 11:30), so I need to make some hard-boiled eggs in my instant pot. I'll probably also cook some carrots, and make some Jasmine & Wild Rice for my husband I have it out.

Haven't seen anything dying yet from my weed killer spray. Said it could take a week to two weeks to kill the weeds to the root. I hope that Ortho stuff will work. Today, beside cleaning the pool one last time, I'm going to tackle some things in the garage. There are so many boxes that need to be broken down and so much trash stacked in there that we can't get to my grandson's John Deere tractor car to charge it. He's getting so tall (he's only five, but in the 99th percentile for height) that his legs will be too long for it before I know it. Still waiting for my husband to be ready to do the brick cutting job (for the landscaping tiles that go around the pool). To help with his allergies (running eyes), I bought him some safety glasses yesterday. They should arrive today, and then he won't have as much of an excuse. If they don't come until late, I guess the job will have to wait until Thursday.

(If I repeat myself from day to day, please forgive me - I can't remember from one day to the next what I've said and what I haven't.)

I appreciate everyone who bothers to read these Epistles of Debbie that I write every day.

MIGHT have to start walking, because I'm still a little off target for reaching my 60-pound goal by June 27th. It would be tragic to miss my goal by just a pound or two, especially since I started taking drastic measures on May 3rd.

Impressive persistence through the minor lapse and the scale bump. I sometimes think that surviving these minor setbacks can be a bigger challenge than not eating. Nicely done. Let's go!

I'm rooting for you, with my pom-poms jumping up and down.

@Snowwhite100, get that back better before you start jumping up and down! @hebrews1036, so far I haven't seen any noticeable death among the weeds. @jimmiepop, yes, it is only by the grace of God that I didn't crumble when I gained that half a pound yesterday - normally, I would have thrown the fasting out the window!
