Fun night with DD, SILs, and niece. We had drinks at the venue where younger DD's wedding will be held so I was able to view the new carpet installed in the room recently. Dinner at a small, quieter restaurant where I possibly ate 1/4 of my meal (maybe even less).

Yesterday DD and I went to an open house for a home near mine and similar in size on the market for the same listing price as mine. OMG, the place needed cosmetic work from stem to stern including the exterior! I think the owner must have set the price, not the realtor because there is no way anyone could want that house for that price. But right now they have no competition in the immediate area. I suspect they may lower the price once my listing goes up.

I haven't heard from the guy who said he'd paint my cupola even though I sent a note yesterday. Getting worried that it won't be done before the pictures. I wonder if they can photoshop them?

Not much planned for the day other than hopefully having the painting done. If he doesn't show up maybe the beach? I need to pack for the move to DH's home while this house is being shown and also for a week-long trip to Florida on Wednesday to get some things done there.

Have a supervenient Sunday!

If that house sells at asking price, you may need to increase yours! I suspect you're going to get over asking price offers, even if you don't. Sorry I'm going to miss you in Boston! We arrive Wednesday as you leave.

Plans today are pretty light. Read the paper. Laundry. Start packing. The sun is out, so maybe some outdoor time at the beach, or kayaking.

Also sorry to miss you but we had to squeeze this trip in.

We'll be spending more time in Florida in the foreseeable future :)

I am in the 180s this morning. 189.8. That 10 pounds took a week shy of 2 months... But I still have my hair, so trade-offs.

Going to dinner at a neighbor's house tonight, but otherwise no plans.

Take care all

Yeah! 5 pounds a month adds up to something wonderful over time. For me, that's the magic of this medication (and my sleeve). My loss is slow, and without the meds I wouldn't have been able to stay the course.

You have shown such patience, DD! I am very patient in many aspects of life, but with weight loss, my patience is woefully lacking. You are right, 10 pounds is 10 pounds no matter the time it took!

Amen!

As DD says, 5 pounds a month is pretty good as one gets lower in weight! Congratulations!

Go ahead and kick those 90's to the curb!

The wave you're riding might be moving slowly or ripping quicker than the wind- even wavering a bit, BUT, the important thing is that you stay on the board and ride that wave home.

You're killing it; think of all these days you've strung together. And on the day you reach your goal, why, you'll want to continue stringing daily on. That's called maintenance. Carry on with PRIDE- progress realized in daily effort.
