I hate gaining weight especially when it is clear that I was eating a lot of calories and that is why! This week I gained 1.2 pounds. This month I gained 4.4 pounds. Totally not what I want but what I did.
I know it is the Christmas season but frankly that is one day and I was not dealing with the Christmas party scene. I overate on Christmas and the days following there were some leftovers... and so on.
I gained 3.2 pounds two weeks ago, gained 2.4 pounds last week and gained 1.2 pounds this week. This is so typical of me! I tend to not go to extremes (think over correcting a car on bad roads!) so I have been slowly (painfully slowly) dialing it back.
This year did not meet my goals on the weight front. To give context - in 2019 I lost 49.8 pounds, in 2020 I lost 16.2 pounds, in 2021 I lost 13.2 pounds and this year in 2022 I gained 16.2 pounds!! I totally wiped out my loss in 2020.
Looks like my goal in 2023 is to lose 16.2 pounds (ideally 19 pounds). Very doable about 1.5 pounds per month. I can do this provided that I don't have 'runs' of gaining weight. That really is the problem. I need to lose or maintain my weight. It is the gains tha make it hard (I gained 28.4 pounds last year but lost enough to make it a 16.2 gain overall)
This last week has been all about snow in my world. Christmas Day my 91 year old father-in-law ditched his car in my driveway. On the 27th I was barely able to get out of my driveway nearly getting stuck twice. That night a huge snow dump. I was effectively snowed in. I was plowed out yesterday at noon! I celebrated by getting groceries!
