My problem is I can eat them! But I'm fine with smaller too. So best to do smaller anytime I can...
Does he take Vyvanse? I know a few young people who had to switch meds, because they simply cannot get their prescriptions filled.
I like snack sized meals too. Sometimes I can eat a whole sandwich, but typical dinners, no.
It seems your transformation to gym user has been pretty seamless!
Oh, I bet you set a lovely tablescape. A picture to show us perhaps?
Sometimes they add going to the shooting range to their outing. DH assures me they shoot guns BEFORE the bourbon. Good policy. While I do like bourbon, I do not like shooting guns, and I am terrified by horror movies, so I'm grateful to his friend pursuing these interests with him, as is the friend's wife. I bet your DH would be most welcome to join their fraternity.
Instant mashed potatoes! When DH and I first got married he wasn't sure he liked my mashed potatoes because all he'd ever eaten as a kid were the instant kind. Also, he didn't like wheat bread, (especially the kind with any seeds or texture) or chunky peanut butter, or any salad except iceberg lettuce. One time when I was making rice, he asked me what I was doing. He only knew about Minute Rice. My MIL was many wonderful things, but she was not a good cook. Minnesota food in the 70s was pretty bland, but DH's family took it to a new level. He has recovered from those years of deprivation, and likes so many things now.
A good day at work, followed by a pedicure and then dinner on a lake side patio. The forecasted temperature change turned out to minimal, and we still made it to 80 today. We ran into the parents of one of DS's best friends (buddies since 1st grade) at the restaurant. We took a picture together to send our "boys". The friend lives in Seattle, and more than once his parents have mentioned how nice it would be for the" boys" if our DS moved there too. It's gratifying to know someone else likes your kid and values their friendship with their own child. We feel likewise.
Tomorrow's plan is coffee at our Irish place, and later a birthday party for the husband of one of my college roomies. My roomie and I were living together when we each met our respective husbands, so we all had a front row seat to "the courting". They got married about 6 weeks before us.
I have an appointment on Wednesday with the physician's assistant at my WLS clinic. They prescribe my Wegovy. Sometimes I think its overkill they want to see me every 4 months and the amount of bloodwork they do. Then other times I think how easy it would be to become malnourished with the double whammy of sleeve and drugs. In May, several indicators of iron deficiency were showing up.So I guess it's warranted in my case. I've looked at the reports from the draw I had this week, and I think they're better. We'll discuss Wednesday. Weight is steady, minimal side effects.
Greetings all
It's another great fall day. It's so nice to have the back slider open all the time.The day will soon come when it's cold and rainy so I am concentrating on enjoying the weather that made us move here.
I am continuing to do my treadmill walking at the gym. I am this little mouse that sneaks in and out virtually unnoticed. Slow time. I climbed up on one of the elevated treadmills today because it had a better tv view. Not worth the effort as tv is too close and made my neck hurt - like sitting in the first row of the movies. Also made some owls at the studio and did banking.
Liz we love the wedding countdown. So glad the dress is working. And the table stuff looks great. Your DD is lucky to have family who likes to do this stuff. What did you do about your dress?
Yeah Peps you are right to just sort of go with it when your dad expresses some confused ideas. There is no point in arguing about this stuff. Better to provide some comfort in validation if it does not hurt anything. I so remember the confused woman at a dinner party trying to put forks and plates into her purse. Someone tried to gently talk her out of it to no effect. Her husband just returned the stuff later along with various other things. So it goes....
CC I can't believe Kirby is 1. Tee hee like a 16 year old who just got a drivers license.
Boxed mashed potatoes are horrid! Here is a secret: I worked at KFC in high school and made their mashed potatoes and they were indeed from a box. They also included a stick of margarine and a lot of salt and white pepper. Oddly the gravy was real and made the old fashioned way. I guess that was necessary to disguise the mashed potatoes.
Paula you are a scrap book maniac! Good on you for getting that done. Your kids will be glad for it. Plus I bet the process is fun in going through the memories.
Football game comes on in an hour. I will delay chili until tomorrow because DH brought home a reuben sandwich from lunch.
Ann enjoy the dinner party. Catering rocks.
Bonnie whiskey, meat and horror movies. The trifecta.

No big news here. I'm hosting a dinner party tomorrow night for friends here in Missouri. It'll be catered, so I'll merely set the table and make some ****tails.
Liz, check TT for a graph of my last 30 days' worth of daily weight fluctuations (I post my buck-naked morning weight every morning on My Fitness Pal.) As you will see, I can hop around pretty vigorously from day to day. I just assumed everyone else in the world does this, too. But maybe not.
That's all the news that's fit to print and fits.
