59Carol's Journal, 24 Sep 22

This is looking particularly 'bad'. A 3-pound gain. However, it was a bit more of a creep than that! My own records are showing a steady gain over the last three weeks - 1.4, 2.8 and 0.2. Yes, that adds up to 4.4 pounds gained and so the 3 pounds this is logging in is a 'correction'. I have been gone a few Saturdays in a row so I haven't logged into this program...

This particular week I have eaten over my calorie window by an average of 100 calories and the two weeks before I was on average above my window 160 and 150 calories. Point is there is no surprise where this weight gain has come from. Basically, I will go back to eating within my window and I will lose the weight.

The extra calories came from two sources - one I was gone from home and eating out most of my meals and in 'holiday' mode. The second source was the little child within that was saying (and getting its way!!) "I want what I want and I am going to have it!!"

The first source is easy enough to deal with - I am home now until early November so lots of time to eat normally. The second one is harder to deal with! I am going to have to do a great deal of self-talk and soothing to the child within. It isn't like I won't eat some high calorie choices along the way, I will, however not over and over again and not on the same day! I have had to soothe this 'child' before and I will again!

The rest of my life! I had a lovely 4 days with my granddaughter in the city as I attended to some city appointments. I took her to her first actual bra fitting (she is 17) and purchased her a couple of nice fitting bras. We also shopped and did some enjoyable missions. She is vegetarian so we were eating at some interesting places. Vegetarian does NOT mean low calorie!!

I got a Brown Recluse Spider bite. That was crazy. I had never heard of such a spider before. Turns out we have two venomous spiders in Canada and this is one of them. Black Widow is the other. Both are relatively rare. Turns out there have been a few bites like mine in the area. One fellow ended up partially paralyzed and some brain damage and has been unable to return to work. My bite was on my ass so a long way away from my brain or spinal column. Lucky me!

Today I am having my family over for supper. I have a simple menu planned and look forward to enjoying their company. 8 of us for supper.

Sorry to hear about the brown recluse bite. They can be very nasty to recover from comfortably. It sounds like the visit with your granddaughter was wonderful though. Hope you are feeling better.

Glad things are going well for you. You're evaluating your progress and making changes accordingly. May you recover quickly from the Brown Recluse bite. We have those and Black Widows here in Virginia USA, also.
