59Carol's Journal, 16 Apr 22

Decent loss in a week (2.8lbs). Since I had a large gain last week (5.6lbs) I would have liked the loss to be more! Isn't that always the way? At least I have stopped the slide.

I had some difficulties around sugar this week in the form of wine gums. I only eat them when I am driving... but that does set up the idea that the car is the place to indulge in sugar. Not ideal. At least they don't make it into the house.

This week I will focus on eating less sugar. I have 3 days this week when I am in town however two are evening times which should help somewhat. I will need to make a food plan around these days.

My exciting news is around internet! When I checked my speed just before changing over I had 2.5 mbps and this morning I have 130 mbps. It has made a huge difference when using my computer which I do a lot for bookkeeping. It is a true joy not to have to wait for the lag time.

My mural is moving along. He has nearly finished the sketching of the drawing. Should finish it today. Next comes the painting. I am very pleased with how it is turning out.

I participated in a blanket exercise earlier this week. It was a profound experience. The script was localized to our specific area. Essentially it is a simulation of the aboriginal experience from pre-colonial times to the present with a historical timeline and specific quotes from people who were living at the time. Having it specific to our location was especially powerful as the quotes were by people I either know or who are related to people I know.
