121.2 - shot day (finally back to my previous schedule after the BVI trip)
We went to bed a little early and I slept an hour late so you would think I was super well rested but I seem to wake up off and on all night these days - my pattern is typically 4 hours of sleep, then awake, then off and on every 2 hours for the rest of the night.
We had a good visit with our Cape Cod friends. They are renting a gorgeous apartment in a high-rise overlooking both the ocean and the intracoastal. Amazing views. But the wife is recovering from back surgery. She fell when they were on their trip down in late January and it took a while to determine that she had broken her back in 3 places! She just had a surgery where they insert a ballon and bone cement to restabilize the vertebra (kyphoplasty). My SIL may have that for a new break in her spine too. We have to be so careful at our age not to fall.
Tonight we have the Spring Fling at the Beach Club - the best event of the year. Great food, open bar, beautiful table settings, good music. We are taking a shuttle from the club so we don't have to drive (the beach club is 15 minutes away). We are at a table with 4 other couples we know. Before we leave, we are stopping at a new friend's home for champagne and caviar. Feels very hoity-toity as DH would say. The theme for the dinner is Bollywood. I considered a sari but too much work and too hot. So I got a long scarf called a dupatta and some jewelry I got on Amazon to wear with a dress I have.
Before that it is Justice walk time and maybe Beach Club for some sun and lunch in mid-day.
Have a thrilling Thursday!

DH calls them Q-Tips (and does realize he is one too)!

True about men losing faster when they get serious about it. Other than after VSG, at best I would lose a chunk the first week, the 1-2 pounds a week. When I did go to WW all us women were jealous of how fast the men would lose.

Try adding a healthy snack - that's how I pulled my food intake up enough to stop losing.

Too funny! At least I'm not totally gray! LOL! But... I will be soon!
My Mom just said last week that she didn?t consider herself or feel old (she is almost 89). I laughed and then asked her what age old was and she said 90!

DH is always referring to the "grey hairs" being out and about and he is totally grey himself!

A few years ago, we climbed to the top of a pyramid outside of Mexico City. Very arduous. While we were admiring the view, a man came and asked us how old we were (58 and 59 at the time). He said I'm 60, I've asked everyone up here and we're the oldest. I felt so proud that I managed that climb, but DH looked at me and said, Why did that guy think I was 60? Umm, because you basically are? I guess DH was still feeling in his 20s too.
Yeah, I look at pictures of my old classmates and think they are older than me. Not so! As my mother once said, in my head I am in my late 20's (LOL).

Liz, you tell Mike thanks for the compliment! Much appreciated. I'm also roughly 10 years his junior and there is something to that - especially since I have been working out (even when super heavy) for over 10 years.
Slight uptick in weight. Back into the 205 range the last two days.
Majorly busy with doggy grooming before our regional specialties. I leave tonight for 4 days of shows. I'm already planning that I might have to take next Tuesday off to get my taxes finalized and submitted. Aw, shucks.... 
Have I mentioned that Tuesdays are my least favorite day of the school week?
I'm going to take my shot a day early so I don't have to deal with taking it with me. I've never done that before, but the directions say it's okay.
Yesterday one of my classes was on a field trip, so I had a break before my lunch period. I ran to Starbucks for a coffee. The Starbuck's is next to a very large retirement community (small town size about 4,000 residents...). There were all these OLD people milling about. I thought, "Oh, no.... that's me next year! 
" It was kind of funny. I didn't want to lump myself in with the OLD people.
34 work days remaining after today is completed. DAMN, that seems like nothing!
