Good to see a drop this week. It isn't as much as it was earlier this week however it is where the weight settled out at. I lost 1.4 pounds. This takes care of last weeks gain. That is good but it does have that two steps forward and one step back feel.
I was very conscious of how much spray oil I used this past week. That was quite helpful. I am sure that single change has made the biggest difference this week on the scale. The oil/butter aspect has always been challenging for me. I just plain love fats! I have weaned myself off animal fat. I have avoided habitually adding butter to everything. Many steps have been made over the literal decades since I have begun this journey in earnest. Clearly, I had more to do! As it happens, I was generally not where homemade baking was available. That also helped. My other weak spot!
This week was lots to do with my father-in-law. We are now at the place where he is willing to consider a senior's apartment that has many supports for him. We are touring the facilities this Friday. I am truly hopeful. He is telling people that he needs to make the move. I think he has come to the same conclusions that the rest of us have. This week we had another hospital emergency room visit (5 hours!) when he wanted a medicine adjustment, the next day I took him shopping and picked up his prescriptions. My daughter picked up additional medication for him and took him for his blood tests so I am not in this alone- thank goodness! Today is my grandson's 15th birthday. I am hopeful my father in law will join us at the sushi restaurant this afernoon. I have offered to come get him. We'll see.

Good for you on the weight drop. This must be a stressful time for you, yet you're managing your eating very well. Happy birthday to your grandson, a sushi celebration sounds awesome! I hope things work out well for your father-in-law, I know this a very difficult time for him.
