168.9. Not sure what the exact weight was but I have moved from obesity to overweightness. Yay!

Layed low today, skipped my weekly gardening at church. I just didn't sleep well at all last night! I will still go to couple's Bible study which tonight includes a potluck. One couple just got back from an Alaskan vacation and a different couple went to Hawaii not too long ago so there will be sharing of pictures and stories before we dig into Luke!

DS3 comes for a short visit tomorrow until after dinner on Friday and then we travel to Madison on Saturday to see DS2 and go to the Farmer's Market and Taste of Madison!

I have been increasing protein trying to be in maintenance the last few weeks - just not counting the calories. I try to make my snacks be protein rich and eat more protein at my meals.

Weight 121.2 (up 1.2). Funny (but not) how an uptick from being the lowest in my preferred range makes me nervous even though I intentionally am eating more.

Yesterday we had a good visit to the New Bedford Whaling Museum, then an early dinner with friends on the waterfront. Lots of history - I had never been there even though it is only 40 minutes away. We did not finish the museum in the 2 hours we were there. The waterfront is filled with commercial fishing boats. Quite a beautiful view.

Today we are headed to Martha's Vineyard for lunch, meeting Florida friends for a drink, and dinner out at a restaurant DD gave us a gift certificate to for Christmas 2022. We never made it over last year. Again, only about 45 minutes away (by ferry). Speaking of which we found out there was a ferry to an island called CuttyHunk from New Bedford. We have also never been there so we might try that next year (though it will be about 35 minutes more to drive to the ferry from DH's house vs mine) - hmmm.

Time to get cleaned up. Have a winsome Wednesday!

I hope the antibiotics work quickly. A UTI is so uncomfortable.

My hesitation about doing this is that "the calorie counting that reverse dieting requires can be tedious and stressful, such as in cases where you need access to the calorie content of foods." This is the first time I have lost weight WITHOUT counting calories (or WW points) which I found very freeing. I am reluctant to have to go back to it. I kind of did this in a way after VSG because I was counting calories at that point. I added 200 calories per wee****il I stopped losing. I think my biggest problem is lack of muscle mass. I need to start working on increasing it. My physical therapist said though it is unlikely that range of motion can be increased after a certain point, one can always increase muscle if you work at it diligently.
