59Carol's Journal, 09 Sep 23

I am disappointed to be up by 0.6 pounds. I averaged over the week 1.5 pounds less. My eating yesterday wasn't particularly high or crazy. I did consider stopping for ice cream and chose not to. (The childish part of me figures I should have now!)

What was different yesterday was it was a highly physical day. I started the morning at 5 am. After doing my household chores and having an oatmeal breakfast, I weed-eated for 1.5 hours then I came in for lunch. I had a lovely salad with all my garden veggies and a can of herring. Back outside this time parking out back where I had some big pieces of wood/trees to load onto the truck. About half a pick up truck full. Some of it was incredibly heavy. Then back up by my garage where I got my little electric chainsaw going to chop up the big pieces so they could fit in the truck box and added some more wood/trees that I had up by the house. The truck was full to overflowing. Drove it to the landfill where I unloaded it all. This took nearly 3 hours to do. Came in and made supper with some microwaved potatoes, two poached eggs and a bunch of stir fried vegetables. Had a granola bar. Then dropped soup off at my sister's and went to town for some groceries. Day ended at 8 pm. And the result on the scale... a gain of 1.2 pounds over yesterday!

This week was an ordinary one with water hauling, mowing the lawn, some computer work, lots of time at my father in law's. Next week I will be checking in early (Thursday) because I am gone for a week driving to Drumheller (8 hours) then to Calgary (1.5 hours) then to Edmonton (1.5 hours) and home again (6 hours). I will be seeing my girlfriend with early Alzheimer's, going to a provincial meeting on Cancer, doing a preventive doctor visit around skin cancer, and city stuff. I will be home in time for the next garage sale. Very busy!

It will be gone in no time. As long as I'm eating within my RDI I refuse to let those quirky weight gains upset me, because they're just variations in body fluids, not gained fat, and they'll be gone again in a few days.

I bet you'll drop a couple pounds in the next day or so. You did so much heavy work. It seems like it's always water, although it sounds like you should have sweater most of the water out!

Thanks ladies! Yes this morning I dropped a pound. I have some heavy lifting for the next three days and then it will be driving and eating out. What a cycle.
