59Carol's Journal, 26 Oct 19

I hate posting a gain. Especially when there was no good reason for it other than I overate enough times that I am paying the piper. I averaged 150 calories more per day than last week and a 125 calories per day than the week before. Both of those previous weeks were solid losses. You would think that isn't all that much. It is. And I know it to my toes that it is enough to make a difference and I knew it as I was clocking them in.

Tracking ones calories when following a calories in and calories out food plan is essential. The fact that I can point to the last two weeks' data for the answer to an 'inexplicable' weight gain is power. I know that I will be diligent next week so that I average 1185 to 1210 calories per day so that this gain is wiped out! Frankly I am 'sloppy' enough in my recording that I am likely running closer to 1285 to 1300 calories in those previous weeks so I am not aiming to eat at a crazy low.

My general news is: on Thursday I helped my daughter and the Ukrainian Dance club roll 190 dozen cabbage rolls. It is a fundraiser for the group. I don't believe I have ever rolled cabbage rolls before so it is a newly acquired skill. The night before I made rice for the effort - 14 cups of raw rice to give you a picture of quantity. There were 6 other people who brought the same amount of rice. On Tuesday I saw a grief counselor for the first time. I will see her this coming Wednesday. Yesterday I had a neighbour purchase 182 fence posts from me, my daughter's fellow sent some workers over to install a heater and a garage door opener in my garage and two fellows installed one window and moved another window. Great productive day.

So next week I will scrutinize my daily calories and make adjustments accordingly so that I will log a decent loss!
