I think it is almost time to step on the scale. My fear is that it will be much higher than I am dreading and that will make me depressed and eat. If it is lower than I fear then I will be energized to get lower. Why oh why does it work in the reverse of what one would expect???

We won both bocce games yesterday moving our standing up 3 positions. For once we were all relatively focused. If we win both games next week (our last match in the regular season), we will be in the playoffs. I'm not sure if I want to be or not? Regardless it has been a great social endeavor without being too difficult to learn or get somewhat good at.

Around those games we went out to lunch and dinner. Mostly healthy choices and not too much but not controlled since I have no idea what is in the meals. Sigh.

Tonight we are going to Kinky Boots and out to dinner before that at a place near us that does no advertising and does not take reservations. It is supposed to be the top place around here. So more eating...

Have a winning Wednesday!

I didn't think it would stick, but it stuck! Down another 0.6 today.

Kirby woke me up by throwing his paws and upper body up on the bed. I was dead asleep and gasped so hard I don't know how my heart didn't stop! Stinker.

More mason guy today. He's trying to figure out how to custom match the grout because what I have left over is not all that close to what's out there. Sigh. The never ending project. Makes me think of Eldon the painter from Murphy Brown who never finished and basically lived in her house.

One of the women who started the book club with me wanted to change the date and checked with a few people who were fine with that and asked me to send the email out. I did and several were upset that it changed and others wondering why the book changed (apparently they discussed a different book for this month and everyone except this woman forgot). So having been the recipient of the displeasure which I did not instigate, I have new rules. No changing dates and no changing books last minute or someone else gets to send out the email. Ugh.

No plans today. In fact, no plans until Saturday. Wish that also meant I was alone and could sleep in, but alas...

Liz, I'm crossing my fingers your scale says less than you worry it will! Honestly, you look fantastic in person and in your picture with Justice. But I understand wanting to be at a lower weight. I'm just so impressed you can eat out as much as you do and stay so slim!

Take care everyone and have a great day!

Maybe the mason guy has OCD? Our neighbor once hired a guy to detail their car (which was hardly dirty) in the driveway and he was there from 8 am until about 8 pm. The wife finally had to tell him to stop.

So I did get brave and stepped on the scale. Lower than I expected - I haven't changed much since Fall of 2021, just a bit after a year since I met DH. I did have a peak at the end of 2022 when I was up above where I am now by about 5 pounds but overall I haven't varied a lot for the last 3 years. Really a miracle if you look at my lifetime of highs and lows with no real static times except after VSG. But man, with my knees these days and upcoming events, I would love to lose 20 (or even 10 might help).

Really impressive!

Greetings all

It's actually sunny here now after a cloudy morning. A big storm was predicted but must be delayed. Works for me.

So the house got cleaned. Our cleaner had been out of town and had a nice trip. She is really a good person and loves our dogs so I always hope for good for her. Dogs adore her and seem to know ahead when she is coming - likely to DH's rituals of preparation.

Liz good for you for facing the scale and getting good results. Sometimes weight just minds itself if we keep busy with other stuff. What is Kinky Boots? Sounds interesting. Not a shoe store I take it. Congrats on Boccee ball status. Playoffs? Sounds like work but games are always fun.

So today I am doing little. Our board meeting for tomorrow got canceled so no need to rush the financial review. I made some hamburger and new potatoes for dinner last night and there is more for tonight. I got my hair washed and some laundry done so I am good for a few days.

I am still doing my treadmill walk. Every day. I feel guilty if I even consider skipping. It's not much but my aches and pains do decrease so I get that positive. I need to do longer but can't seem to make myself so I guess some is better than none (she rationalized)

Just had leftover steak bites as a snack. Wonderful. wish I had them more available. Wish I had a personal chef.

We are still watching the Murder show even though I sometimes have to look on the web to remember who was who. We started watching Tracker which is pretty good.

Time to feed dogs. Cheers. Diane S

Sharing a little find. This is a tape measure that records your measurements to an app on your phone. I never knew how tight to hold the tape, so this take that out of the equation...
