I was never good at meal planning and prep (at least since I retired), so it didn't change that much for me.

Sounds like a great book club!

165.8, the same as it was on Wednesday when I weighed. Warm and cloudy today. Did some grocery shopping this morning, otherwise not much on the docket for today. I guess we lead pretty boring lives. Hopefully that will change once we are both retired! Grandma is fairly immobile so not much to do with her that doesn't involve pushing her in a wheelchair. I've asked Vale to go with us to the Botanical Gardens over the weekend.

Grilled shrimp with peppers and onions in a sweet and sour sauce over rice for dinner. Like I mentioned before, meal planning and preparation is much more difficult when on the GLP 1's!

So glad the 12.5 is working well for you!

What's with Kirby not retrieving balls from the water? That's what that breed was born to do (well, maybe ducks instead of balls, but you get what I mean!) Silly dog!

Glad your book club meeting was interesting. Ben loved reading and would do Christian related book clubs with our Pastor. He was forever a deep thinker and loved debating those poorly understood religious tenets. Man I miss him!

Agreed: 63 is hardly elderly. That's how the news report first charactarized this missing woman. She was taken to the hospital but is fine. Probably dehydrated. I am hoping her family gets some sort of tracking device as they are pretty good these days. DS

It's a nice feature when you start a new weight loss journey and want to see, at the rate you're losing, when you'll get to your goal weight. I doubt they had yo-yo'ers like me who log their weight for years in mind! It's been as high as the 2050's!!

That's a hilariously weird feature of your weight tracker! LOL!

I was very lazy yesterday and spent most of the day on a lounger outside with a walk to the beach to play with Kirby in the water. He is not much of a retriever, so I ended up fetching a lot of balls thrown in the water. Thankfully it's a nice temp right now. Today's weather is more of the same heading to 81. I need to take my car for an oil change and find another item to tick off my leaving list... oh and maybe mail my tax checks (boooo).

12.5mg feels so much better! No urge to snack yesterday. The reflux has subsided. And I was 186.2 this morning, a new low on tirzepatide and 46 lost. Only 2.4 pounds to a normal BMI. And I've knocked a few decades off my "expected date to reach goal" on the weight tracker I've used forever. It's now July 17, 2037

Think I'll go shower and get at it. Take care all!
