It is Friday and a day early for my weekly weigh in. I am heading to the North Country Fair in a couple of hours and won't be home to do this until Tuesday so I am doing it a day early

Good news for me- I am down 1.6 pounds. That feels much better. This is my lowest weight all week with some days pretty high- in fact nearly 5 pounds above this morning's weight. I was getting quite frustrated as my eating was in 'the zone' and my exercise time was way up due to getting at the yardwork and my father in law's house and yet I was gaining. Then finally in the last 4 days I lost each day. So pleased to see that.

I had a very busy week with lots of time away from home and a number of sudden pivots. Fortunately, the protein bars helped when it was getting very late and no supper in the near future. I think they bridged the gap and made it possible to actually clock in a loss this week.

This weekend is going to be a bit of a minefield. Mostly I am going to be working against past habits in this particular setting. It is a summer fair- there are food trucks and I also get hospitality (the fair makes food for the performers and the organizers). Hospitality serves up delicious meals. I will be going into this with a plan. Unfortunately my two shifts straddle breakfast and lunch which sometimes makes me feel that I can just grab and go without assessing the plan very closely. I plan to be mindful and pause in my choices and to take along a couple of protein bars.

84.5 kg Lost so far: 37.3 kg. Still to go: 7.3 kg. Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
