I am so relieved to be into the 'one hundreds'! Not much, but in! I lost 2.2 pounds since last week which is a solid good step in the right direction. Now to get out of the 190s.
I did average 60 calories daily above what I see as optimal. The good news is I averaged 80 calories less per day from last week. Always relative, eh? I was in town for only one day which makes a big difference. My evening eating was what consistently increased my calories so it bears greater scrutiny. Yesterday I went through my eating plan and circled the high calorie choices. I made sure I weighed those ones. (nuts, butter, yogurt, etc.) I think that made a significant difference since it is easy to estimate amounts high especially when I am motivated to do so! (motivated to eat more but not 'count' the extra calories)
Next week is going to be very busy with lots of town time. We are meeting with three county's councilors and three town councils. They are in a 60 mile radius of each other so lots of driving. These take place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We are asking for financial help for the Women's Shelter's mold issue. Then late next week the plumber can come look at my father in law's plumbing and heating. I believe I have some significant problems with both systems. Fortunately I know this plumber and trust him to do an excellent job and to not gouge me on the bill!

losing 2.2 lb a week
30 December 2023
Yes a 6.8 pound gain in one week. My god! How did that happen? Simple answer is that I did not eat within in my window even one day in the past 7. I averaged 140 calories per day over the top end of my window. That does, in fact, result in a 6.8 pound gain.
The plan going forward (because quite frankly that is all that can be done at this point) is to go back to eating the way I have been eating most of the year. Good food but in appropriate quantities. I no longer have anything left in the house that will derail me (because I have eaten all of it!!)
As for just life stuff - the Christmas holidays were fun. The family gathered, we had a lot of good laughs and enjoyed each other's company. The best! I have quite a bit of work ahead on the Women's Shelter as we will be searching for finances to pay for the cost of attending to the Black Mold found in the building. Plans are in the making for the May Portugal trip with my daughter and grandkids. Starting with passports.

gaining 6.8 lb a week
23 December 2023
I am very impressed with myself today! I have lost 1.2 pounds this week. This has not been an easy week to lose weight. I have been in town three days this week, prepping for Christmas and having my son staying with me. All situations that have caused weight gain in the past. I was careful with my choices and stayed mindful throughout. Still not easy. Last night my son made homemade chicken wings... that sort of thing!
We are celebrating Christmas things a day early because my son is flying home on Christmas evening. Today will are doing Christmas Eve complete with a seafood fettuccini alfredo pasta dish my son makes. Tomorrow will be Christmas supper and Monday will be Christmas breakfast and gift opening. Great family time!
This past week our Women's Shelter discovered black mold when doing some much needed renovations. This has sent us into fix mode, looking for financial assistance mode etc. A friend of mine told me that the national radio station just aired their interview with me this morning. I am going to have to see if I can find it as I hope I made a good case to the public about our situation.

losing 1.2 lb a week

I gained 1.8 pounds this past week. As I anticipated last week this week was going to be problematic as I was eating out almost daily often two meals in one day. Trying to calculate calories when eating in non-chain restaurants is often a bit of a crap shoot. To the best of my guesstimate I ate at least 70 calories per day more than the 'window' that I aim for. Since it is common for people to underestimate what they have eaten it is likely more than that. The point is that there is no mystery as to why I gained weight this week.
I have begun a book this past week entitled "The Mountain is You". Its premise is that self-sabotaging behaviour is a coping mechanism to keep me feeling comfortable in a familiar situation. In my case, when I weigh in the 170s to the 190s it is familiar ground. I am comfortable with my weight in that I know what I look like, what my body feels like and I have clothes that fit and look nice. Consciously I know that to be a healthy weight I should be aiming for 130s to 140s. I do not know what that will feel like or look like. It is new territory. That unknown makes me uncomfortable so I make choices to remain in the 170-190s. This subconscious desire to not enter into the unknown is at odds with my conscious desire to get to a healthier weight. It will be interesting to see what the book suggests as a means to bring my subconscious and conscious minds into alignment!
In the meantime life goes on! I am looking forward to having my son visit. I will be picking him up on Wednesday. Christmas is always fun. We get to tell the grandkids about taking them to Portugal in May! They will be so excited. I continue to work at my father in law's and have sold about another $1500 worth of stuff in the past week and a half. So much more to go...!

gaining 1.8 lb a week
09 December 2023
This has been a roller coaster week weight wise. As it turned out this morning when all the dust cleared I am exactly the same weight as last week. That really doesn't tell the story! Tuesday I was down 1.6 pounds but on Thursday I was up 1.6 pounds and the rest of the days was all weights in between. A variance of 3.2 pounds is quite a bit in a week.
How did that happen? Easy enough I was eating within my zone except for two days when I was way over. One of the days I made homemade bread. I wanted two loaves for stuffing and three loaves for bacon and tomato sandwiches and other meals while the family is here. I make them in batches of 4 loaves. Another batch is to come. Frankly hot bread right out of the oven is heavenly. The other day was a long day in town- left at 9 am and got home after 9 pm.
This up coming week is going to be a week on wheels. Christmas party potluck on Monday, subbing all day on Tuesday, subbing a half day on Wednesday, Thursday is a haircut and a late meeting in town, Friday is proctoring apprenticeship exams from 8am until 5pm (and that doesn't include the one hour drive each way!), Saturday is a play in town with the family. Honestly this is going to be very challenging.
