231.8 today. Broke 50lb so I'll celebrate that victory! It comes with analysis & questions as I had a bit of an emotional eating breakdown & ate keto cheesecake, driving my carbs up from 13 to 25+. Still a very low number but when you are used to single digit & teens, 25 carbs feels like omg until you think about it. Just a side note, not a concern but it drove my calories up to almost 1700 for the day. I say all this because in spite of my "cheat" I still lost 1.4 lb. This is where I scratch my head at the imperfect science of all this as you try to figure out the "why". Is there an undereating threshold? Is it a change from your normal food routine..or switching from OMAD to 2MAD for a day or two? You could read opinions online all day and still not figure out the mysteries of weight loss and how and when it happens. I guess all you can do is be happy when it does! Maybe I need a reward of a better scale. I do have a pretty solid theory that my scale is not sensitive enough to track under 1lb changes. Based on what generally seems to be an every 2nd-3rd day 1.2 to 1.4lb drop seems so. On the other hand, maybe its a way I'm being told to stop weighing in daily.
Today should be a good day. I'm finally able to apply for the govt COVID relief & for anyone who cries "socialism", I'm not ashamed to take the money. I've paid into the system at the max level for 36 out of the 42 years I've paid into it, never have taken a dime out of it before, even when I probably could have. So no guilt here. So I applied. I should in 3 business days get my first 2000 from the Canadian Govt & thank you very much. In the meantime I keep on applying selectively for jobs, but at least I have breathing room.
The other thing that gets me pumped for the day is the opportunity to work side by side with my daughter on furniture refinishing today. A passion for me for years, a new project for her. There is nothing I enjoy more than doing stuff with my kids, especially my daughter as she has a keen desire to learn things & do it for herself. I was proud a few weeks ago when I reminded her it was time to switch her tires for the season. I did the first one has a quick refresher for her of what I taught her a year-and-a-half ago, then she jumped in and did the other three with confidence and fast. she has that same sense of can do and accomplishment that I get when I learn how to do something new and it turns out well. my dad instilled that in me and it's great to see it carry through to another generation. On the other hand as much as I love my son, it doesn't seem to be in his DNA LOL.
Anyway, it's a day to look forward to busy doing stuff I love to do with one of my favourite people!
Happy humpday!
