It has been 18 days since I have checked in. In that time, I travelled to Portugal and truly I had little to no restraint! I ate delicious unfamiliar foods such as octopus, goosenecked barnacles and a variety of foods made differently than I am used to. And the desserts! Mmmmmm! Very good and much variety!

Yesterday was my first day at home and it was time to step on the scale and see what the damage was. I had gained 9.2 pounds. I ate carefully and well yesterday while still overshooting my usual window of calories by 80 calories. This morning I lost and now the damage is 7.6 pounds up. I don't expect the rest to come off as easily as yesterday's!

I did have to face that I had some limitations on this trip. My right leg is a bit 'wonky' in that it will unexpectedly start to buckle every once in a while especially if the terrain is challenging (stairs, up or down hill). I will be getting to work on that because I don't want to feel like I can't do things because of it. Basically I will need to strengthen my thigh muscles and ankles/calves.

We had a fabulous time - my daughter, my grandchildren (ages 16 & 19) and myself. Besides eating interesting and amazing things we also went to a number of outdoor markets, kayaked (not the plan but couldn't reverse an error in the booking so went with it! Managed to burn my legs pretty good), visited an Oceanarium, walked through old sections of various towns, gondola boat ride, a tile workshop, a fabulous bookstore (looked like something out of Harry Potter!),TukTuk tour in Sintra, swam in the ocean, museums, and my daughter and granddaughter scaled some cliffs and jumped into the ocean (Daughter did it twice and granddaughter did it 7 times - all different spots) We did a lot of driving from the North to the South of Portugal. Beau1tiful country!

Next week is going to be relatively quiet so I will be able to focus on my self-care more.

I am weighing in today simply because I am leaving to go to the city and will board the airplane tomorrow. I will not be traveling with a scale. I will be recording to the best of my ability what I eat each day. I find that kind of accountability keeps me more aware.

My general plan is all about seafood. In Portugal seafood is fresh and plentiful. Seems like a good idea! I also know that I will be sampling the desserts. I do find desserts in Europe tend not to be so sweet which will help!

I also know that we will be walking a lot. This, however, isn't necessarily a weight loss situation. I did 5.5 hours of dragging deadfall out of my yard area - yes my yard is that big and I have a lot of poplar which dies often! My reward? A two pound weight gain that it took two days to go away! This sort of thing is often my experience. My sister comes across the same thing. One summer she walked the El Comino about 20 km/day for 12 days. She did not lose weight! Walking is good for muscles and toning and cardio. Not weight loss!

Next weigh in is May 18!

I gained 1.6 pounds this week. I also ate approximately 80 calories extra per day. Certainly to be expected.

Areas of improvement for me: I need to not purchase any peanut butter for awhile. I seem to be eating it often and it is calorie dense. Not a good idea for me! This is in combination with eating out. I was gone from home for two days and was eating out. Definitely high calorie as we were eating East Indian food and I had two fancy coffees during that time. There were also some desserts eaten.

Next week I am subbing two days. I will need to pack a lunch both days as that will keep the calories down. I see one other day where breakfast and lunch will be eaten out. This is the last week home before I head to Portugal.

This past week was a busy one. I had a neighbour come in and mow down some heavy grass areas with a big machine. My granddaughter stayed with me a couple of days. My granddaughter and I loaded and emptied two truck loads of shelving from my father in law's to my house. I have been making sure the Used Book Sale, a Casino event and reporting to the local municipalities is all organized before I leave on my trip, one evening meeting and proctoring apprenticeship exams. I had a nibble at selling my father in law's house but it fell through. Today I am meeting a friend for lunch who I haven't seen in 5 years.

I am pleased to have lost weight this week! Eating yesterday was really high and yet weighed in a pound less than the day before. Never ceases to amaze me.

Packed up my granddaughter as she has finished her first year at university!

Off to yoga this morning and volunteering at the Trade Fair for Restorative Justice.

It is good to see a loss this week. It was quite a range in weight this week - I was as low as 205.0 and as high as 208.2. The average for the week was 206.4. Generally the week had a lot of hills and valleys as far as weigh in went.

Calorie wise it looks like I was about 15 calories per day higher than my preference. Truly not bad. The result feels 'right' as to how many calories and the loss. My eating was fairly consistent from one day to the next in that I wasn't eating in highs and lows. Just generally eating on the high end of my 'window'.

This week was a week of wrapping up big projects.

I had an auction house come pick up the last of my father in law's belongings on Tuesday. I figure we had sold somewhere between 80% to 90% of his stuff ahead of time. What was left had to be tetras-ed into a 24 foot trailer! That is a lot of stuff! I was so glad to see that truck and trailer drive away! It is all gone!! Beyond exciting as it has been a one year job. I had an appraiser in yesterday. Getting ready to have the house put onto the market.

The Women's Shelter job is also coming to a close. We are accepting women and families as of this past Thursday. I stopped in to sign checks (over $60 000 worth!!) While I was there I took a tour of the place. It looks wonderful. Next Tuesday I will be presenting to the Rotary Club on the project and the Shelter in general. Then it will be finalizing the finances, a round of thank yous to the local municipalities and that will be it!

Tomorrow my granddaughter turns 19. I will drive to Grande Prairie (2.5 hour) and have lunch with her. Maybe my sister and daughter will come with. My grandson is likely coming too.
