Congrats on retirement! Amazing that you'll be entering that phase in great health and ready to do some fun stuff.
176.4 today... up a tad from yesterday, not surprising. 100 mile ride in the morning, so that will knock it back down.
Baking a pan of home made "Kind" bars... mostly nuts and dried fruit, held together with brown rice syrup. Seems to work pretty well for me on long rides. I add a fair amount of salt to replace what I lose... the nuts have great potassium for another essential, and the brown rice syrup is sweet, but not overly so, and holds everything together without being crazy sticky....
Heaviest: 313/VSG Pre: 295/Surgery: 260/Maintenance target:190 - Recent: 195 (08/15/19)

I think abut that in awe-- how I "feel" younger at almost 60 than I EVER did at , say 45... What's with that? I spent so many years just waiting for it all to end- Now I hopefully speculate on years left to do...

Good morning everyone:
Good to be back in the land of the scale.
To my HUGE surprise am down a pound. Still 9 above goal but thought for sure with the ' forced' irregular eating would be up. Food was great for the most part but at home my diet is very simple simple food so the rich stuff did not sit well.
Pouring rain here and am going out to walk the walk.
Have a good one.
And congratulations on the retirement submission. Good for you!
long time coming. Thanks

Happy Retirement!!!! That's so exciting!
I'm happy it's my weekend. I took a personal day yesterday to be a "roadie" and follow my husband on a gig he was doing. Long day but the show was great! I married to a Musician!!! So proud! I'm bragging...I know. This is something I might not have done fat...I didn't want to be seen or introduced. I have to say I was cute and proud to be introduced as the piano player's wife!
Going to dinner with friends tonight. Driving to a pet adoption tomr to possibly adopt a poodle:)
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers! I'm not a mother but I have the best Mom in the whole wide world!
Have a great weekend!
