Weight 117.8, calories 1530. Back to eating on plan today! There weren't a lot of good food choices at the reunion last night.

The reunion was fun, but I couldn't remember the names when I remembered the faces and often I couldn't remember the face when I remembered their name! 45 years is a long time. One guy who I dated for a while between husbands looked completely different - not bad, but had gained a fair amount of weight. He hugged me before he had a name tag on and I had no clue who he was. Later in the evening he said that he wanted to call me sometime to talk about some things that had been bothering him since I last saw him. Boy that was weird - I barely remember how long we dated and why we broke up. I vaguely think he might have stood me up ultimately but I really can't fully recall (nor do I care)! Regardless it was great seeing so many people who I haven't seen for so long, though I've kept up with some of them on on FB. I have gotten together with a few off and on and at least one of them lives near me. We talked about possibly taking a yoga class together.

The sun is out and it is supposed to be a nice day, so we will take Justice to the beach for the first time. He is definitely enjoying his new place and has been very playful and enjoying his walks immensely. AND Chiquita was more alert and up longer than I have seen her in a long time yesterday. The presence of Justice seems to be perking her up and she is pretty friendly with him (not nasty and territorial as I had expected). Maybe having the towel with his scent ahead of time did work?

Anyway, as Diane says, time to have more coffee. Had a sunny Sunday!

Weight?

Good morning! It's been a really great weekend with my family in Cincinnati. I love my cousins and their spouses so much! I need to make an effort to see them more often for sure. And my aunt was very surprised. I've eaten too mu*****luding Graeter's ice cream (drool), so I'm not looking forward to the scale tomorrow, but it was a fun visit.

Today we're headed to spend a little time with my aunt for lunch and then off to the airport for the trek home.

Wishing you all a restful Sunday!

OMG!!!! Graeter's icecream is our very favorite! Sometimes we even order it shipped here - $10 per pint! Worth every cent! My favorite is Toffee Chip and Ben's is Black Raspberry Chip!

Isn't it good?! There are Graeter's stores everywhere you turn in Cincinnati. There was even one at my airline gate! And my family loves it. So there were two visits in two days to the store next to our hotel. My Dad's favorite is the Black Raspberry Chip too! Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip is pretty amazing. I like mint ice cream so the Mint Chocolate Chip, Mint Cookies and Cream (whole Oreos in that one) and the Peppermint at Christmas (candy cane chunks in that) are my faves!

Glad your reunion was fun Liz. My 35th is sometime this summer!

137.6 - about the same I think. Back to not tracking. Takes too much of the energy that I don't have right now!

We went to early church today so Ben can get some rest before we go to an awards ceremony where he will get Professor of the Year! He thinks he is getting it just because it is the last award he will be able to get! Oh well, take it and smile!
