Weigh in bright and early Friday: 121.4

I gained almost a pound. This is the first time since December. I did eat more calories, a lot more. I had problems with my appetite all week. Plus, I think last week my weight was artificially low as a pound and a half loss seemed too much.

Yea, well, I wasn't from out of state then, just from Tempe. My DH was bragging how he learned to drive in the snow in PA, but I am pretty sure he had snow tires or chains there! And the way AZ handles snow is different than in the east; here the roads are plowed and down to the black top in minutes (hours). It seems like in AZ they minimally plow the main roads and just close the other ones! I am sure that may have changed since the last time I was in in Flagstaff, in a blizzard in Feb. 1990.

Nope, haven't changed a bit - they do not plow well.

I've been having a hard time with food lately. My appetite has been tremendous since I upped my exercise. Plus, I have been traveling and there are many temptations on the road. Yesterday I started fine with some no oil added granola, blueberries, raspberries, and a third of a banana, with milk for breakfast (400 calories worth). Then I had a ride and afterwords an ounce of cheese and two dates (150 calories). Now I am already up to 550 with a daily limit of 1200. Then I really blew it, I had a homemade bar made by a neighbor. It had to be 400 calories. Now I am up to 950 and it is barely noon and I only have 250 left. I struggled and had some salmon pasta salad with lots of cilantro, totaling about 300 calories to finish out the day barely over my limit. But what I ate was terrible, I can't afford a 400 calorie bar and still get good nutrition. And no vegetables to speak of!

Today I started out with an egg and Canadian bacon, plus two carrots, totaling 200 calories. I hope the dose of protein helps keep my appetite in check. And today I eat some veggies!
