Thinking about your dress Liz, do you think a tailor could add bra cups to the dress? Make them an integral part of the dress like a lining? Then no straps?

I've been MIA lately due to the 3,000 miles we've driven in the past 9 days. Yeah, I know. It's been crazy due to Labor Day, family, medical, and real estate matters. I hope the next few weeks are calmer.

I'll try to catch up here over the next few days.

Re weight, I've gained 3-4 pounds due to lack of exercise and eating out so much. Looking forward to more fruits and veggies again.

Lizanne, continuing hugs of empathy for you. This must be such a confusing, painful/numbing time. For me, it felt like gravity had evaporated.

Happy Birthday to your DH!! I love that he starts his new decade with an early morning golf game. The two of you are ageless!

I get the picture sorting sadness. My Mom has a lot of movies from when I was young. I loved watching them in my 20s and 30s, but haven't seen them since. My heart squeezes when I think about them now, could I watch those movies of my 50/60 something Grandparents, my aunts and uncles in their early 30s? I want to, and I don't.

Yesterday DH and I talked about some of our "treasures". Why we hang onto to things can be so complicated. I'm more on the side of release them so someone else can enjoy them. For DH, it's not a moment of releasing, it's a moment of losing something. Yes, complicated.

This morning I woke up at a decent time for me, and enjoyed a London Fog tea in bed while watching a local news show. Seems like everyone in the Metro area was out and about yesterday, as all the footage of the various fall festivals and fairs were filled with folks out enjoying the beautiful autumn weather.

One more tea, and reading the Sunday paper, than off to the winery!

Hugs Liz! The photo sorting and paring down even though needed sounds like it stirred up some grief and rightly so! Good for you for sticking with it!

166.5 today. Another smidge down but was at this weight sometime in the last 2 weeks, albeit probably from dehydration. I think the loss may be slow going from here on out, which really isn't a bad thing but I prefer it to go faster!

Costco and some other shopping on the docket for today. We are skipping church, perhaps will watch it online later. DC1 over today. Teriyaki pineapple chicken for dinner - a family favorite. I liked the Quest loaded taco chips. A nice break from the normal choices I am used to and they were good with my chicken chili. I think my second favorite protein snack is Sargento string cheese. I've decided that I'm not a beef (or other meat) stick person. I can barely choke down the protein bars anymore. Time to find a new breakfast option. I love oatmeal but have heard the higher protein options don't taste so good. Any recommendations?

Same weather here! Warm in the sun but quite cool in the shade with no humidity.
