119.4

We had a great visit with DD and SIL this weekend. Yesterday we spent the day at the beach club, including going back for dinner at night. It was a perfect Florida day weatherwise. They fly out at 10 this morning.

We have a ton of leftovers from the visit and the end of last week so we may be throwing out food before we leave Thursday. I hate having to do that! We will eat some of it tonight and I think we are going to skip going out to dinner before we go to the show tomorrow night. We are out to dinner on Wednesday, so whatever isn't eaten by then either gets frozen or tossed.

I am skipping water aerobics today to take the kids to the airport. I have a "Love the Pearls" luncheon after that. Sometime in the next couple of days I have to get serious about planning my packing. We leave at 7 am on Thursday.

Speaking of which I still hate the time change. Tough getting up and I hate it being dar****il almost 8 am. Not much I can do about it though.

Have a metronome Monday!

Thanks Diane. I did see that that could be a cause. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it.

Liz, I'm sure the visit with DD is much too short, but happy you are doing some of your and her favorite things!

129 even. Staying pretty steady at the 2 mg dose so far. Don't really feel like I'm eating any more food or feeling hungrier. My Fitness Pal still puts me around 1,000 calories.

Church and my class this morning. DH and I took a 1.5 hour nap, guess we didn't like the time change either!

Leftovers for meals today, which is kind of nice for the chef in the house. As you know, that would be me!

Still have not done the hard exercise DVD again. My excuse is that I don't want it to impact the next day's workout (i.e. too sore to get it done). I did exercise 4 days last week which is good for me! Hope to do the same this week! Debating if one of those days should be today!

We are getting nice weather too. The boys are begging me to grill out. Perhaps tomorrow!

I agree with DD - time talking to friends is always worthwhile.

Since I retired that extra hour of light doesn't seem as precious. I've gotten so I prefer light in the morning more.

Catching up with friends is a very worthwhile use of time!

Happy Sunday! Another glorious, clear blue sky day! I may even wear shorts today. I'll have to wear a sweatshirt, or hoodie, but my legs can handle the cool weather. The upper body, no so much!

210.7 - hmmm one day without a workout and I drop practically 2 pounds. Hoping to start the work week back in the 209 range.

I didn't do too much yesterday. I did get Bug completely groomed. She is starting to look like a big girl, but she's still very much a puppy.

I am not a fan of the time change either. I attribute my growing dislike of the time change to my age. It takes me longer to adjust now than it used to. I used to have no issues with the change either way. Now I seem to be aware that something is off and it takes me a few days to get in the new groove. Example: it's 11:30 and I am "forcing" myself to eat something before it gets too late in the day.

I will soon have to decide what chore I should do to occupy my day. I've wasted a good 3 hours doing nothing, but catching up with friends. My guilt says I should be productive, but my leisure brain says, "Enjoy!"
