I gained 2.4 pounds this week. I was feeling somewhat hard done by and then I looked at my data for this week. It is so easy to think that I haven't eaten 'all that much' but when taken as a whole the picture is totally different.
I know if I eat over 1210 calories, I will gain.(I know that sounds low but I suspect that I count my calories low but consistently in the same manner. I have seen over time if I count my calories as I do and it is over 1210 then I gain. I make a point of not going less than 1185 calories. Perhaps the 'real' number is 1300 or 1400- I really don't know but this works for me)
This week I averaged 155 calories over that target. It is no surprise given that information that I gained so substantially. Each day it felt like a 'blip' and the next day I would be back on track. In fact I only once ate under 1210 this week. That is what I have to focus on - the facts. No excuses. The fact is I ate too much this week and it resulted in a gain. What was surprising is that I managed to keep the weight relatively 'down' the first while. I ranged in weight from 211.2 and the highest weight was this morning at 214.4- ranged over 3 pounds. Two days I actually showed a weight loss.
The plan for next week will be to eat within the calories. If I do, I know I will lose weight.
The Used Book Sale is completed and it went well. We had 300 people come through as compared to 200 in the last two years. We made about $1000 more than last year so that is good too. Other than that this week has been about planning my next two things - I am volunteering at our local Music Festival to feed the performers and main organizers (165 people) brunch for two days. I have met with the overall cook and know what to expect. I am planning for my big birthday bash for the first weekend in July (camping, live music, pig roast, games, etc.), had a major town day, lawn mower broke down and drove a total of 6 hours to get the necessary part, and mowing (yesterday was 4 hours on my ride on tractor- need another 2 hours to totally finish!)
