morning everyone and especially to all of the vacationers. Have a great great time.
calories yesterday 1089 but too many of those were poor choices and 11679 steps. Clothes not fitting well due to too much salt.
enjoy We'd. Friday is almost here for those of us for who are still working.
momsy hope you are ok and Lorna, wondering how you are doing.
for those of us who are struggling we will keep moving forward, as there is no point looking back.
Happy Hump Day !!! Two more days until sanity returns to my professional life !! I HATE, HATE the end of a school year !!!
I built the most wonderful climbing trellises for my squash yesterday !! I think I have all of that sorted out, so that they can continue to grow. I had to order a bunch of pinwheel "spinners" to scare away the birds, who are destroying my plants, however. My three day work week / four day weekends can't begin soon enough !!!! (July 1st, but who's counting ?!)
Good luck to all vacationers / travelers. Lorna, Momsy, BB ... would love to know how you are doing.
Carbon... you're right.... eyes and energy focused forward !!

Thanks for the tip, Diane! I'm going to buy pinwheels today!!! Damn birds are eating my prize tomatos. I have CD's hanging but that didn't stop them. I love birds. I feed the birds. I don't want them eating my 'maters!!
I'm getting weighed and measured today. I've lost 5# for the month. However, my body fat didn't go down much. Boo! I'll report on inches lost later. Three weeks until NM. Hoping to lose another 5#. I'll need to clean it up even more!!
Hang in there everyone...protecting our skinny is hard work!
123.6 today. I'm on an upward trend but that 119 was weirdo low, anyway.
I will tell you (the only people that can perhaps understand) that pistachios are once again in my office drawer. I shall put them in the other pharmacist's office.
I also have been wondering about Mary and Lorna! Mary, if you are reading this, I want to tell you that the adult tap class brought down the house at the recent recital. They oozed cool and their smiles made me wonder if I shouldn't be tapping, too. (Now that I think about it, tappers of all ages ooze cool and project joy.)
Happy Wed, so much to do before our take off on Sat.

I have been looking for shorts. I have not comfortably worn shorts in many DECADES. It was surprising that they all seem to be so very short nowadays. I have legs that are extremely white, they are like death blue, and with extra skin hanging at my knees. However, I try to remember my sister-in-law's grandmother's comments from almost 20 years ago while we were all on vacation -- about my legs being so strong and being envious that I could walk so much and climb... My legs were huge at that time and I was very self-conscious about wearing shorts and bathing suits, but we were in the tropics so I wore them. She had a tendency to say whatever popped into her head, which could sometimes be very cutting, so I knew she was sincere.
Anyway, I was shopping at Costco the other day and saw Gloria Vanderbilt Bermuda shorts that looked really nice, but the size 12 looked tiny. I have size 10 clothing that I wear regularly, but these shorts looked way too small for me. I was going back for a size 14 but my son was itching to go so I kept the 12s figuring I would return them. Not only did they fit, they fit perfectly, like they were made for me.
I tried them on at my daughter's house. When I automatically started to say that they must be made big, my daughter pounced and said no, you will not diminish this, you earned it, celebrate. How did she get so smart?
What a pleasure! Maybe you need a second pair for the summer? On the other hand, that might be my former fat self thinking. We all can find lots of clothes that will fit so don't need to stock up just because of one good find. But, Costco clothes are so reasonably priced that maybe another is warranted

Got a good walk in yesterday! About to hop on the treadmill now at work!
