I gained this week. No surprise. I ate more than I can and expect a weight loss. Four days out of seven were well above my calorie 'window'.
Some of it has to do with not eating at home. I have been in town for 6 days out of 7. This has been eating out. Some eating out choices were definitely high. Others not so much. The fact is that I am left guessing what I have eaten and I know that the bias is to assume less rather than more. This trips me up even when I try to allow for that tendency. Also there is the attitude that lives within me that eating out is a 'treat' and so I give myself permission to indulge myself a bit more than I would at home.
Recognizing the pitfalls is excellent on my part. What will matter is how I deal with this knowledge so it doesn't keep adding more weight on. Today is a good example. Lunch and possibly supper will be elsewhere. I have a plan for lunch but supper is in limbo.
Very busy week! My landscaping workers continue, I have dealt with a medical appointment, assisted my granddaughter in getting her apartment, walked through the rental property with new renters, got a haircut and today will be driving 2.5 hours each way to wish my friend a happy birthday- made her coconut macaroons as she is gluten and dairy free. My father in law's house should close by next Friday so lots of scrambling has been going on as we got to the final signatures (yesterday!)
