I'm with you on the joggers! I often run errands after i work out, and i feel comfortable in my joggers and quarter zip athletic shirt. I didn't work out today, but I am wearing joggers and a sweater. I need more joggers! I used to wear leggings to work out, but these feel much more comfortable in general.
Thanks for that suggestion! And maybe limit myself to an hour each session???? The office should only take one or two 'sessions', while the garage... well... that's a different story. My stuff, my dog stuff, Ron's stuff, all of Ron's teaching stuff!!!!!, my dad's stuff, ron's step mom's stuff.... it's all piled in our garage. That will take multiple sessions and a strong purging mentality.
I think I am getting to that point of having to have a set schedule for things around the house. It works really well for me with keeping the show dogs in trim. I have a very set routine for grooming each week. I'm also very good about getting to the gym for my workouts at around the same time each day. Seems that when things are a strong priority for me, I don't have much trouble getting them done. For a few weeks running I was doing vacuuming, dusting and general light housework on Thursdays. Last week I fell out of that because of vacation, and haven't dusted or vacuumed since we got back. I don't see myself doing it tomorrow, either... LOL
202.7 - only 0.3 above my pre Disney weight. Whoo hoo!
Liz, i would KILL for some 70 degree weather. It's sunny, breezy and 46 degrees here. I think our forecast high is 56.
Funny how weight can change perceptions. When I weighed 280 I would NEVER go out in joggers or athletic attire. I felt like I looked like a big slob and people would think, "Oh that's all he can fit into..." Now I wear my joggers out and about and think I look great! LOL! Plus, they are pretty comfy and transition at home into lounge wear! A total win win for this chilly weather.
I am glad we are not having company. I like doing Christmas, but our house is just too small for a Thanksgiving feast. Ron's sisters' houses fit the bill. Both have really big homes designed for entertaining.
Off to see dad today for his nurse practitioner appointment. I invited him out for lunch. I hope he's having the same good day he was having yesterday. If he's out of it, I won't mention our planned luncheon. The nice thing is he doesn't remember those details from one day to the next, so I can assess his mental state and adjust as necessary and he's none the wiser. I do love how happy he is to see me every time I go visit.
Not much else from here today. Oh, except, I'm on puppy watch with Kathryn. Her little dog is in pre labor, so I'm anticipating puppies by this evening. So, I'll be playing mid wife for little Razz and helping bring three new babies into the world. I do love brand spanking new puppies!
Today feels like a winning Wednesday to me. I hope it is for y'all, too!

Good day yesterday whi*****luded a bocce tournament in mid afternoon. Those younger kids can get the hang of a game like that pretty quickly. We played for almost 2 hours. The younger teen was still a bit sour because she wasn't as good as her brother but there was still good interaction.
I think today is the beach club again because it is the last really warm day. Tomorrow may be less sunny and the high Friday is projected to be 70.
DH's childhood friend arrives today to spend Thanksgiving with us tomorrow. He will stay in the hotel across the street from our community. Good thing as he goes to bed really early and gets up at about 4 in the morning. He tends to bang around like a bull in a china shop when he gets up. He also starts making phone calls at about 7 am, talking loudly and having it on speakerphone. I actually think he may be a bit hard of hearing because he is so loud and has his phone volume way up, but could be that is just him.
This morning we will do our Justice walk, then I have to get my first shots of Evenity, the drug I am on for osteoporosis for the next year.
Have a willing Wednesday!

Well maybe you CAN teach an older dog new tricks ;)

Your friends must be amazing scrabble players - hence the shark nickname!
No, bocce was not on the original spreadsheet but we added it LOL.

So you can take a nap and still sleep at night? I envy people who can do that. DH takes a nap more days than not, then sleeps like a log at night. If I try to nap I either lie awake the whole time or I fall too deeply asleep and am in a fog when I wake up. In the latter situation I usually can't sleep that night.
Can't say I miss the cold weather. I am not looking forward to dealing with it for 13 days around Christmas. It is also darker as we have an extra hour of light in Florida in the winter.

I wonder if being distractible is why my DH has to have a plan for every day? Because he can be sometimes too. Someone here (CC or maybe Paula?) had a plan to fill at least one bag with stuff to donate or throw per week from the areas that required cleanup. Maybe setting a time on working in those areas once a week would help in getting them straightened to your satisfaction?

I love peppermint ice cream with the candy pieces so I bet I would like this shake!
No turkey! It isn't one of my preferred proteins. It has a funny taste to me. We always do chicken instead. Better flavor and more moist!
