This morning is showing a 2.8 gain. That is what it has been since last Friday however I had a gain on the Saturday when I was doing prep cooking for a festival I am involved with. Then I spent the week trying to lose that gain and added to it with two 'blow out' days this past week. I feel like I have been fighting a rear guard action. In some ways it is good it is 'only' a 2.8 gain considering my choices however it is wiping out two to three weeks of losses. Not a good situation.

What needs to be done is to switch from the 'rear guard' mindset (where I am trying to mitigate poor choices) to a more 'assertive frontal action' mindset (where I am in control and making steady progress toward my goal)

I have been given the excellent suggestion of having an emergency stash for difficult situations such as a protein bar - would need to be one meal that is non-perishable so that it is easy to pack and leave in the car and have a similar stash in my house. These are for the emergency moments when due to circumstances meals are being missed or there just are no good choices available for a variety of reasons or when I get home late, exhausted and hungry. I am thinking that it should be something that is a calorie equivalent of no more than 450 calories so it is filling and will not lead to overeating the 'stash'. Such as having a number of protein bars in the stash and somehow it makes sense in the moment to eat 2 or 3 or them!

In the meantime, I will be proactive with planning and cooking meals ahead of time so good options are easily available.

This week has been busy! Last Saturday I volunteered 8 hours (I'd planned 4 hours but the need was great) to prep cook for a June music festival. Then I had an evening meeting for Restorative Justice, dealt with more red tape around rental units, put in a couple bouts of working at my father in law's house and subbed two days at the school.

I finally got back into the water on one of the days I was subbing. I used to swim three days a week for literally 15 years but when I retired driving to town that often didn't make sense so I stopped swimming. I love swimming and it was great to do so again! My muscles were sore but happy. I did a short 30 minute swim and 40 lengths so a good start!
