59Carol's Journal, 11 Jun 22

I dodged a bullet this week. I am managing to clock in a 0.6 pound gain.

I somehow managed to get on the ice cream train. I literally stopped three times in one day for ice cream! One of those stops was for a Dairy Queen Blizzard! My Goodness! That is crazy calories. I did not stop there. My next time in town I stopped two more times for ice cream. On the third day of crazy calories I found some Green Onion Pancakes in my freezer. One pancake is 370 calories which is a lot of a snack...especially when I chose to have two of them!

No surprise I was as much as 2.2 pounds up this week and in fact averaged over the week to be 1.4 pounds up. My average calorie intake this week was 200 calories above my preferred calorie intake. Clearly under these circumstances, a modest 0.6 pound gain is something to celebrate!

This week was its own kind of exciting... I ended up with a septic back up that flooded my entire newly finished basement. I discovered it at 10pm and called Mike one of the two fellows who have been my go to people when I need help. He arrived in 15 minutes and the two of us worked until midnight. Turned out the ground fault electrical outlet had popped its breaker. In the end he came back twice to attend to removing and replacing the baseboards. Job got done. I am grateful to have him available to me. Needless to say I have purchased a wet/dry vac for next time!

The rock is going up on my house and is looking amazing. Should be done by this Wednesday. Very exciting for me as that will complete the outside of my house. All that is left is the yard work which is planned for the month of July.

77.8 kg Lost so far: 44.0 kg.    Still to go: 0.7 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
