There! I am back on track. A solid 2.6 pounds down this week. That reverses last week's 2.4 pounds up. I feel that I am on the right track once more.
The things that I did that lead to this turn around: I figured out, with suggestions from my sister, my night eating. I plan for 13 rice crackers, .25 cup antipasto, 2/3 cup yogurt and 1 meat stick each day. Each morning I count out the crackers and put them into a baggie and the rest are put away in the cupboard. Then I measure the antipasto and yogurt into containers that are put in the fridge. Meat stick is in the fridge ready and available. Having them measured and designated is so incredibly freeing. I know I can eat them without any remorse.
Last week, I occasionally had a bit of these snacks during the day but generally saved them for the evening. The interesting thing for me is that I am yet to eat the meat stick. I keep saving it for when I really need something. Then I don't need it plus the idea of taking it off my list the following morning and guaranteeing a greater deficit is more alluring than eating the meat stick!
This change resulted in 5 days out of 7 eating below my 'window' and two eating above the window. Eating above was less than 100 calories each time. In the end I averaged exactly in the middle of my window. That is such success! It has been 9 weeks since I averaged inside my window. In those 9 weeks I ended up with a total of a 5 pound gain. The numbers just don't lie (as long as I don't lie when I collect those said numbers!!).
Other stuff. My daughter got me another phone so the original phone will just have to emerge later this spring when the snow goes. It is nice to be connected to my friends who I text and my story tapes from the library! Then it is also some peace of mind when I am on the road or in my back 10 acres that if I run into trouble I can call for assistance.
I had a baby woodchuck come visit my glass door window. He was incredibly cute but likely to ruin my yard this summer!
Snowshoeing continues to be my go-to right now. I am enjoying the sunshine and the snow. I am looking forwards to seeing the snow go but thus far we still have lots of it. In my snowshoeing area the snow is still hip high.
I have been sticking close to home during this Covid crisis. Still averaging one trip to town a week. I plan to see if I can cut that down to every two weeks. We will see. Keeping in contact using the phone. Thank goodness that is an option. Learning the new courtesy rules around Covid. For example, remembering not to chat to the postmistress as there may be people in the parking lot waiting to come in for their mail! Only one person is allowed in our tiny post office at a time.
