2.2lb weight gain. Sigh. Even though I didn't record my weight yesterday...full disclosure..and honesty with myself, I did weigh yesterday but it was like at midnight so I didn't take it as an accurate reflection. And it was...225.2 just out of the blue after 223 (weighed & reweighed to verify that was accurate.
So mental downer...a reset & go from here. Still in keto, no reason not to be. Again, was another day with lots of walking. I don't like mysteries! Yesterday was 2MAD and I find myself more often than not doing that than my intended OMAD. I justify it based on how much exercise I get vs am I really hungry for that 2nd meal? Bored (quite likely. I have 2 projects for my truck I'm waiting on parts for. Probably only 2 hours of work total but in my mind it's something to do!!!)
I'm like my father in that one of the things I enjoyed most about owning property is having tasks to do. I am definitely a house not a condo person. I shovel snow here always...mow the grass occasionally (I have hay fever since I have to be cautious with that). But I used to love having a list of things I could do on my schedule & terms.
I'm considering some kind of volunteerism short term anyway. Back in 2014 I did volunteerism full time. Enjoyed it at first but after a few months of having to be committed to being there for 40 hours a week you start feeling like you should be paid, especially of you NEED money. So if I do some of that again to keep busy I only want to do it in the morning & the kind of work that interests me. May sound selfish but at 59 yrs of age soon, having worked 40+ years of my life, why should I not be able to do any work I want, on my own terms? The other challenge is living in the little city I live, any volunteerism opportunities are "likely" reduced. City of 55,000 vs 1 million plus relatively nect door...but its 1/2 to 1 hour away to most opportunities. That's an expense out that I don't want to incur. I recall being laid off in early May looking forward to the opportunity to have the summer off. Double edged sword there, especially for someone whose dna is "I like to work". But can't physically do everything I would like to be able to.
My musings feel a bit all over the map today. Somewhat a reflection of my up & down moods. As you can see in spite of my best efforts, unexplained weight gain is a trigger. Where I can stop it in my tracks is by not eating in reaction to it. It still would be far too easy to justify in my brain that if I am going to gain 2lb for no reason, maybe I should go for that burrito..or chinese food...or blizzard at DQ (All of which crossed my mind yesterday...none of which I really craved..nor thankfully...gave in too!)
Thinking a lot about a trip to the lake lately. Aside from an appt with dr's office this week, I really have nothing stopping me from going anytime, but I have some stuff to do there that I can't do for at least another month. But I'm craving the walks on quiet lake roads, sitting on the deck overlooking a quiet lake at 5, 6am while having morning coffee.
OMAD today. May or may not go for a walk. I've had a 3-4 big walking days. Maybe I need to have a lazy day.
