59Carol's Journal, 23 Aug 23

I am weighing in early in that I normally do this on Saturday. I am leaving tomorrow for 5 days so I won't be checking in at the 'normal' time. I am down 0.8 pounds since last Saturday. I have been in the zone 2 days and below the zone for 2 days. On average I am 15 calories per day lower than my low end of the zone.

I did a number of things to accomplish this. On Saturday as the Garage Sale was in full swing (truly no gap in people and they just kept coming!) there wasn't an easy way to get some lunch. My sister had packed two protein bars and gave me one. On Sunday it was a similar situation. My daughter was feeling overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of people so I suggested she could get me lunch and anyone else who wanted something to eat as a break. She got me a Subway salad with roasted chicken. Monday I was home all day recuperating by mowing my lawn and catching up on all the things I had let drop! So food wasn't an issue. Yesterday I ate my standard Turkey sandwich and date bar for lunch. Breakfast and supper I have kept as the same for the last few weeks.

I am off to the International Blues Festival in Edmonton for the next 5 days. It is a 6 hour drive each way so I go a day ahead and leave the day after which makes it a bit longer but way more pleasant! This Festival is something I did with my husband. He was a major Blues fan. I love to dance to the Blues so it worked out! I am going with a friend who is also a widow. She loves dancing too. The line up is great!

Well done one eating well and the weight drop. The Blues Festival sounds like great fun and dancing is a definite calorie burner. A lovely way to honor your husband's memory. 💚💜💛
