214.7 I feel very plateau-ish these days. However, I feel well. I'm still feeling pleased that the elliptical Wednesday night was relatively easy. Proved to me that I am in better cardio shape than I thought I might be. Had another very good workout yesterday: legs and a push/pull upper body workout.
Shot on board. I am thinking a little more hydration could help with the emotional aspect of my eating.
I wondered if my co owner might be a narcissist or could be labeled with tendencies. The good news is that AKC has closed the case. I have received new registration documents that have restored my ownership. I was told the co owner was educated on online registration procedures. Not sure if she was fined or suspended (as I hoped she might be), because I would think I am not entitled to that information. I will have to see if a suspension/fine is published in the AKC Gazette, where such matters are made public. I'm glad the issue is done and over.
Dog shows this weekend. Chose to leave early tomorrow rather than overnight at a hotel. I sort of wish I had not entered this show, but I will have a 4 or 5 week break from shows after this weekend. Hopefully, Buster will earn group placements this weekend.
I am cold again! That is the one drawback I find with weight loss. Maybe it's age, too! My feet and fingers are constantly cold - unless I am working out and getting my heart rate up. I am going to try wearing socks to bed tonight if my feet are cold. Not sure I can manage it, because I always pull them off within 10 minutes. Something about the socks under the covers is super annoying to me. The socks seem to catch on the covers or feel heavy on my feet.
Well, lunchtime is just about over. Off to 5th grade!
Given that it's Egypt, I would be careful and not go too low frills. I, too, want to go to Egypt and see the pyramids, but I do not feel it is safe in the current climate. I would opt for Greece, though that's not exactly a picnic of a political place either these days.
Ron can wear socks to bed. I can not. Will be curious to see in which category you fall. I have been tempted lately to try again.
I loved White Collar! Plus, the boys are pretty to look at! LOL!
Okay! Good to know. For some reason I thought you did not enjoy food during the weight loss phase of your tirzepatide journey.
119.8 - official weight for the week. I looked back and I have been hovering more or less in the same weight area for 5 months now and at my current dose of 1 mg of tirzepatide twice a week for 2 months. So it seems to be working. I have enough for about another 11 months, then will have to figure out how to get it again.
Today is another day with nothing on the calendar and the temperature may actually get to 70 today. It is clear and calm out in the Marina this morning. Maybe we can even open up the lanai sliders later. We will probably go to Happy Hour tonight to catch up with some people. Likely leftover lasagne following that.
But first, a Justice walk! Have a fiery Friday!

Sounds similar to that recipe actually. So glad you made it to warmth. I hope DH is feeling well after his respiratory stuff a few days ago.

It does sound like a great deal but tough to decide with those broad reviews.

Yeah, my face is sagging a bit more around the eyelids, jaw and neck but it has been over 8 years since I had a facelift and 7 since my eyelids were done. It was a lower facelift at the time because my jowls and neck sag were so prominent after losing weight following VSG. I think I still look somewhat younger than the 70 
I will be in 2 months but I hate it regardless. I don't think I would have another facelift but who knows?

Late check in for me! I posted a few pics and summary of our day on FB if you are interested.
I loved Jimmy Carter! Such a sweet, caring man.
Tomorrow morning we have a whale watching tour and then not sure what else is on the docket! I think maybe some pool time and soaking up some rays! Today was nice and warm but pretty cloudy with just a bit of spitting rain!
Calories have been low (even though I stopped tracking yesterday). Need to do a better job with hydration! It seems so hard for me!
My lasagna recipe is super easy. I actually make a "casserole " with Malfalda noodles (look like little lasagna noodles). I cook up about a pound of lean ground beef, drain the fat and add my favorite canned pasta sauce which is usually Ragu chunky garden vegetable, I cook a box of the pasta and drain. Them I layer meat sauce, pasta, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese for a few layers ending with meat sauce and a layer of mozzarella. If I'm only cooking for 2-3. I divide it between 2 8X8 ish pans and freeze one to eat later! Easy!
