I do agree that self love, respect and care are needed to gather ourselves together and get back on track. I too am afraid of any instances when I eat a lot of carby or sweet things that I could slide down that slippery eating slope. The stuff in our heads is hard to control sometimes.

You crack me up! I think shell decorations are quite appropriate for Florida! Besides, we should be decorating for ourselves and our own likes. I have dog chachka adorning my house! (Though some of it is hardly inexpensive!) LOL!

137.6

Ooooopsie...(not because of the scale number, but more to the point being the nonchalant and mindless nature of acquiring said gained #- nothing healthy about it in terms of both attitude or slider carbs and sugars involved. Seem to be back in a pattern of "indulgence with intention of getting back on track tomorrow". My waning sense of self integrity is a bit scary (been there-done that- know where it can take me- and it isn't a pretty place, folks). Motto for the day: I am not a needy child- some is enough and definitely, Self love, respect and care first and foremost.

'Nuff said! Off to participate in celebration with gratitude all the wonderful experiences I can enjoy (thanks, Devon, for the positive and powerful NSV picture)!

Hope abounds and in Peace and joy of the season and day...

143.4, impressive drop for me! I skipped the 144's altogether! Hopefully it will stick!

DH working all day again. I think I will clean a bit and maybe go out in the cold to do some boot shopping. I have a few outfits that I fit in again that go well with over the knee boots and my boots were thrown out a few years ago as they were too well worn! I wasn't wearing fun little sweater dresses with knit tights then so I didn't replace them! Time to do so!

I'm sure DC will come over for dinner after work. And then will hang out the next two days on their day off. We did have the crab legs last night. They were only okay. Got them at Costco for a really good price (15.99/lb.) but they were not Alaskan crab legs and I could tell (not as meaty and sweet, plus I think they had been over cooked a bit in the pre cooking process, I simply warmed them up, with butter of course!)

Peps, nice extra room on that seat belt! Thankfully, I never did need to ask for an extender but it was close. We will be dining with some friends of DH's between Christmas and New Years. The wife had been super morbidly obese but has been on a weight loss journey and has lost a good chunk of weight. For the first time ever she was able to attend her granddaughter's Christmas concert because she could finally fit in the theater type of seat! Now that is a great NSV! I know she is seeing a nutritionist and think she might be on a GLP1 as well. I've never met either one yet but the husbands get together for a breakfast or lunch out once a month. I hope I can be an encouragement for her.

Weight 118.6 - twice weekly injection on-board a day late. I think I will go back to my former schedule instead of pushing back by a day. The timing works better.

I was at my home by 9:30 am yesterday. A totally smooth and uneventful trip home. It feels good to be here. We took a long Justice walk then I had a long shower. I ended up with a 1/2 hour nap as I couldn't keep my eyes open, but then we played golf with friends that we are in a tournament with tomorrow. We did 8 holes until it got too dark. The cart barn was closed up when we returned the cart at 5:30 or so.

Something is still wrong with Justice. I thought it was post-vaccination reaction for the first couple of days but it has been 4 days now. He seems to be avoiding jumping and shakes a lot when picked up. However he is eating and pooping well and had full energy on the long walk yesterday. Right now he is snoring away on my lap totally relaxed. Very odd - I don't like to see him being off. I wish he could tell me what's wrong.

Today I have water aerobics, then DH and I are having our Christmas together tonight. I have to wrap his gifts but hopefully I have enough Christmas gift bags to do it. I love those things.

I forgot that my second chair is supposed to be delivered this morning. We just need to transport the huge leather club chairs to the Habitat Restore, then I am done tweaking major furniture (for now).

Time to get somewhat motivated. Have a satisfying Saturday!

I bet some people will look at my mermaid/shell decorations and roll their eyes. Oh well...

Yes - the son definitely needs to learn how to be more cognizant of other people's time. I hope my kids are. I think so as they are always on time with me these days - not so much when they were younger but they learned when we expressed our displeasure if they were late and via experiencing frustration when other people caused delays for them (or cancelled last minute).

I hope the Mom said something to the son.

I haven't had it long enough to know. But the little dog hairs don't seem to show too much.

I think the northeast was jealous and wanted something that sounded impressive too...
