This week I am staying in a hotel that, thankfully, has a small fridge and microwave, so I did some prepping when we first arrived and bought shredded pre-cooked chicken, microwave rice bowls, microwave bean packs, smashed avocado packs, watermelon, cantaloupe, navel oranges, popcorn bags, kind bars, oatmeal packs, water, diet soda, and tea packets.

All of these choices are good, I think, but they are a bit higher calorie and I will probably end up maintaining this week. I do think this is better than the alternative of eating out for lunch AND dinner daily though. It will save money and I still plan to eat out with everyone our last night here.

Also, had some visitors today! 😊

Been a really hard week this week emotionally with family things going on so work has been very tough to do. I am looking forward to the weekend to sort of reset mentally.

I think the big hike Saturday will help a lot honestly. I am concerned about it though. I have done this one before, but I found it extremely difficult and barely made it with some peripheral edema as well happening. And this time I have not been regularly hiking like I did before. Might have to accept finishing this one slower or even turning around if I have to. I am also on that time of the month which will already make it more difficult.

Is it normal to not be very consistent on your calorie days? I usually just tell myself my goal and try to eat at or under it, but I do, once a week, tend to eat 300 over it. But my weekly average still puts me on my goal so I think that means it is okay?

I had been stagnant on my weight loss for the last week.... I just realized the barcode was generating incorrectly and the snacks I was having were actually 3X what I thought they were.

So..... yay! I have NOT being eating in a deficit.

I am on day 33 of my diet. Trying my best to stick to it!
