59Carol's Journal, 02 Dec 23

This week I am logging in a respectable loss! I lost 1.6 pounds. Right in the zone of one to two pounds in a week. This is reversing my recent gaining cycle.

What is different? I was in town three times this week and ate out 5 meals. They were the identical meals - avocado toast with a poached egg and a turkey sandwich without mayo with a date square. My home meals were consistent and on time. Presently I am only expecting one town day next week.

Town days are tough mostly because they are often long and late. Leaving home at 6am and getting home as late as 7 pm. Then I am tired and hungry- a terrible combination! Or it means I have eaten 3 meals in town and that is really pushing the envelope! I have tried to deal with the situation by eating identical meals so less guess work and less impulse choices.

My Christmas list is wrapped up. All the gifts are wrapped that are at my house. The rest will come in the mail and I will wrap as they arrive. I am planning on getting my house ready in stages for company starting this upcoming week. It will be fun to have a houseful again.

87.9 kg Lost so far: 33.9 kg.    Still to go: 10.8 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
