My daughter called in for lunch on her way home from holiday in Cornwall bringing proper Cornish pasties for lunch. Delicious but very calorific. I was intending to not eat all the pastry but it was too delicious! Luckily it was also very filling so I didn’t need much else to eat later on. I was able to keep within my calories, just. A very active day – including lawn mowing – helped to give me more calories to play with.
I had to estimate the calories of the pasty by looking at the database entries, but as I allow myself to average my calories over the week I had plenty of wiggle room.

That pasty was definitely a treat!

✅✅✅. All three done again 😊😊😊

Did my morning exercises, again! Core, stretching, and meditation. Visit to the off leash park in the afternoon was a bust as the much hoped for snowy and dry ground was a mud pit. One pup became really aggressive with Beau and would not back off. Repeatedly. Beau is our fourth dog and we’ve never had an experience this bad before — so all in all, it was time to just head home. Made up for it later with a walk on the “dreadmill”.

Tracked it all. Had my absolute favourite (hot cross buns) today and made butter tarts tonight for my husband.

I am sorry that Tony’s injury is taking longer to heal and that his housing situation has become so urgent. Thinking of him and you @Mrs_Hoffer

So, we've been looking to buy a house, even knowing that this is a seller's market. My girls and I talked about renting a house because we're hearing rumors about how much rent increases are going to be in our respective apartment complexes. Meg's hearing about $100/month. I haven't heard how much our rent will go up, but we've heard rumors that the complex is going to be sold and one of our neighbors who is currently living in a one bedroom wants to upgrade to a two bedroom like ours told my daughter she was told she'd have to pay $1400. I just checked the website and our model is $1271-$1321, so I'm not sure if the website hasn't been updated or if she'd be charged the low end rent and then something on top to transfer her lease. Anyways, after looking at the cost of renting a house, my girls decided we should buy a house instead. Looking at houses is fun, but not, and it's killing me to think how much we're going to have to pay for a decent home. We can't afford what we'd like so we'll be settling. We've been exploring neighborhoods and floorplans. Found a place we really liked today. As we walked away, I heard one of the girls say "This one hurts" and the other agreed. By the time we got back to my apartment (about 10 minutes), that house was showing online as "active contingent." That's how fast things are going around here. Our realtor says when we start looking seriously, we have to be ready to offer same day, probably before we leave whatever we're looking at. Yeah... I may have an ulcer before this is done. And I'll likely have put on a gazillion pounds because I eat when I stress. Sigh. I'm trying not to. I'm not succeeding. I'll keep working at it.

❎✅✅ hiked happily uphill in forest…late on a tick in my arm - a first for me despite all my hiking over the years AND there was a smaller one. Hubby saw that one first - then I whipped off shirt & their was the large on in my arm - lt pink swelling slightly larger than a quarter… I’d noticed my arm was sore but it often is so didn’t notice. Going to doctor today to make sure all is ok…it’s painful to the touch.

Food high, but healthy
Am attempt cooking dinners but I have a lifelong habit eating as I cook. My next habit to change, step b step. One thing I decided is to begin cooking earlier so I’m not actually hungry as I cook. If that doesn’t work. Migh cook our main meal at lunchtime when my self control is stronge.

High days and holidays are trial to many of us, but it’s just one day, and nit some great disaster. If we chose to indulge, we own it and move on. No guilt!

🥳 Congrats 🥳 You made 3x yeses
