7 April 2019 - Diet Diary - Weather was lovely today, had windows open and did some work around the house. Didn't want to leave as little dog (not the one who dodged death last week) had a seizure at 7 AM and when she has one it is not unusual for her to have 1-2 more so I don't like to leave her home alone. She made it through the day without another and if we pass the 12 hour mark, we are usually in the clear for now. The old guy however, is doing better every day, he is able to lift his leg again and make a somewhat clumsy leap up the threshold to get back in the house. A week ago, I thought he had reached the end of his road.

Ate a load of roasted vegis today. Carrots and butternut squash. It was not the best squash but I had problems finding any last fall and the store finally had them on sale. Turned out OK, just not as flavorful as usual. I am planning to grow butternuts this year. Hope I have better luck than I did trying to grow watermelon last year. Don't want a truckload but would like to have 6-10 to use through the winter. After trying roasted squash, developed quite a taste for it.

Was not as diligent as I intended to be today, morning to mid afternoon went pretty well then got busy and didn't record promptly which is not wise. I used to have awesome memory skills but age is not kind to things like that. I don't think I went out of bounds but my recording came up to just under 1000 and I know I missed some things. Usually these are not big things, more like 3 chocolate covered coffee beans, which I just remembered. (OK, 24 more calories there) Despite being a bit lax the last 3 days, there has been a little movement in weight and today I hit my May 15 short-term goal. It is not solidified yet, I don't hold my breath until I have been at or under a "goal" for a few days. However, once I reach one, I can get back even if I have a bounce. Once it is solid, I will be only 4 pounds away from my final goal. The end may be in sight! Well, the end of the dieting part, the maintenance part will have to go on forever.
