Happy Saturday!
119.9 today. I have a formal yoga class in a few minutes. The is my 1st class in about a week but have been getting lots of steps in every day.
Have I mentioned that it is recital week? 1st 3 hour performance was last night. (The beauty of those kiddos makes the time go fast.) Two more to go today. (I know I will become immune to the beauty and squirm like crazy.) Can you believe that 3 hour performances sell out within just a couple of days of tickets being available?
Father's day is tomorrow. DH has done double duty this last week so we really want to try to make him feel the love.
Time to yoga!

125.8 - same. Calories a bit lower yesterday, no formal exercise but I did get in just over 10,000 steps - all that dancing you know! I'm having a hungry day today though. I actually think I might just be a bit dehydrated so will get myself some chai tea soon and see if that helps.
Nice sunny warm day on tap today. Will do something outside for sure! I am thinking about getting a new bike (bi - not motor) one of these days.

Shel, go for the PS - there will always be a "project" to compete for the money - make this one project Shel!

113 and holding. Probably not eating a lot of extra calories but everything except breakfast is crap! Makes me feel a bit out of sorts so looking forward to more routine when we complete our transition to the RV.
I'm having vivid dreams lately. A few nights ago I dreamed Devon came to town for a conference and we were walking around a local hotel together. And we were both surprised to meet Frisco there! Haha

Attention all you skinnies
Its a gorgeous calm sunny day here on the goofy north coast. I have a lot to be grateful for. Good health, a great husband, wonderful pets and family, fun stuff to do and I am not fat. At 130 this morning and while I would like to be 125, I bet if I stood on a street corner and asked 100 people if I looked fat they would all say no. Of course, even if I did look fat, out of politeness they would probably say no. This is the kind of goofy stuff I think about when I wake up in the morning but don't feel like getting up yet.
Yep, those of you with Dads or who are married to Dads, make a great day out of tomorrow. Its the Fish Festival in a small town near here which we used to attend but now its too big a bother. Today is the Oyster Festival in another nearby town and I would love to go eat some grilled oysters. They have contests among the restaurants on who can make the best ones. Hubby hates them, however.
Our house looks like a thrift store exploded in it, but nothing I can do about it any time soon.
Hope all the recitals go well. Sounds like fun. Diane S

Have I finally learned ? GAWD, I hope so !!! Chuck came home for the weekend, to surprise me. I had spent the whole week doing 1-2 hours of yard work after work each night, just trying to keep up with the lawn and gardens on my own. He walked in the door, and the first words out of his mouth were "You look like a starving child from a third world country. You are trying to kill yourself, and I can't stand looking at you." I told him no one asked him to, and that it was time to move on.
So... true finality... no working things out from here. I've got some intense pain to work through... praying for the anger and the final healing. My heart just has to catch up with my head and the fact that he is hopeless and it is unhealthy for me to think any differently. Even if he realizes what a mistake he is making, I can never trust him again.
My sisters were in town today, so that was a real blessing.

(((Hugs to you my friend))). I was in a similar toxic relationship many years ago - engaged to the guy. We did many a break up and get back together until I finally had had enough and wouldn't allow any more contact so I couldn't be sucked in again and again. It was painful but it was the very best choice! I pray that you too can move on from this!
