Weight 117.8. Slipping down a bit too much - I need to eat a little more.

Hoping that Diane S' hands are not too uncomfortable.

Yesterday we did a lot of physical exercise because we had to take the old lanai furniture downstairs 2 flights without an elevator. They weren't super heavy but the sofa was extremely awkward because we had to keep turning it up on the end to go down the turns on the stairs. I'm glad that's done, but now we need to figure out how to get it donated. We might rent a truck (if they can't come within a week or so) to take it to Habitat for Humanity as they are coordinating free furniture for people whose furniture was destroyed by Hurricane Milton. The new furniture is beautiful! It looks great in the newly painted room and even brightens up the living room next to it. Next steps are getting a coffee table for the lanai, 2 chairs for the living room and a cabinet/bureau for the master bedroom. Then I am done for a while.

It is super windy around here. It felt cold during bocce because it was blowing so much. Good for morning walks but it may be chilly for the Beach Club dinner dance tonight. I will have to choose clothing for it carefully because I hate to be cold. Last night we ate outside with friends but had to wear jackets.

Today I finish cleaning the guest bathroom in preparation for DS' arrival tomorrow. I also want to go look at furniture. All after a Justice walk in the wind.

Have a thrifty Thursday!

Almost a size 6! That's fantastic!

155.9. I'll take it!

DH and I got Covid and flu vaccinations today. So far no ill effects but it has only been 5 hours! Lots of bible studying today to prepare for tonight and tomorrow's groups. I did none last week so it is catch up time. Not ideal but I'll roll with it.

Making tostadas with the Mexican chicken recipe I posted a while back. Still one of the foods that almost always sounds good to me. Shot day tomorrow for me too! I'm going to stick with the 5 mg as long as it is working for me!

Liz, so happy you got a beautiful beach day! The fish behavior does seem a bit odd. Perhaps they were feeding?

Boo on the pound Peps but super yay on feeling thinner! That's what counts anyway! I was able to put on small leggings today and DH said they looked good! Tried on size 6 jeans yesterday and they are still a bit tight. I'll get there.

Poor Diane! Hope you are not having much pain!

greetings

Weight 118.6. Shot day tomorrow.

The weather was amazingly beautiful yesterday: Sunny and breezy and not humid. I love the fall here. We did some driving around and it is amazing to see how much damage the tornadoes did but just in isolated areas. Everywhere else looks like its usual idyllic self. Unfortunately some of the area**** were low income so it is a real struggle for them to have housing and food. We are looking for a good charity to donate where we know it will get to the right people.

I finished the post-bachelorette cleanup though I have to get the sheets back on the beds. There is still some unpacking to be done though all the hanging clothes are hung. Luckily UPS brought our big shipped boxes up to our door on the 3rd floor (no elevator).

Apparently the elevator has some electrical issue caused by the hurricane and there is no estimate on when it will be fixed. Good thing we can handle the stairs. My new lanai furniture is being delivered today so they will have to carry it up. The woman at the store said no problem as they are big guys. I hope that is the case.

I am disappointed to miss water aerobics today but didn't think of that when arranging the furniture delivery. But we will take a long Justice walk. I can star****er aerobics on Saturday morning. And we have 4 bocce games starting at 2 pm today.

ETA: Weird fish behavior in the water in front of our house last night. I think it might have been caused by a large school of fish? There was a large area perhaps 20-30 feet in diameter where you could see a lot of motion on the surface, then periodically there would be this loud whoosh with lots more movement on the surface. But you actually couldn't see what it was. Very strange.

Have a walking Wednesday!
