I like to snuggle under warm blankets too so I use the AC to drop the temperature quite a bit at night here.

Do you think it may be just the calorie restriction affecting libido vs the medication? I haven't noticed any difference. I just googled it and it sounds like there is no definitive research about that yet. Maybe it differs from person to person just as side-effects do?

A girl! So exciting, but agree that it is weird these days for a doctor to get it wrong at first.

So you are going to wait for the backordered one at this point? I used to have two full refrigerators and had both freezers full. I felt like I never really knew what was in there and periodically had to throw out stuff that was frozen for too long so eventually gravitated to just having one. Though I do prefer a sizeable one in a side-by-side refrigerator. The drawers in the French door refrigerators (we have one here) do not seem to allow for efficient freezer use.

Nice that the scale cooperated. DH hadn't weighed in a long time because he said he would just measure by his clothes. I commented that his shirts seemed a little bit roomier but he didn't agree. He finally did stand on the scale and then asked if it was working properly because he was 6.5 pounds less than he thought he was (it works fine).

I had to look up who Varuca Salt was. Sustaining weight loss over a long period is tough especially if you have to work at it. It just gets tiresome after a while. You do look pretty fit in that Halloween picture so maybe you don't need to drop all of that 35?

I kind of forget that Sedona does have a winter. Good suggestion from DD about traveling. My grandmother toured England, Scotland, and Ireland as a single in a group of other singles and she made some great friends.

Raining again and I am calling it officially Fall. Flannel sheets and downy comforters on bed. Love love snuggling into that stuff which partially makes up for the much too early daily darkness.
Saturday laundry and kitchen cleaning done and since everything looked so very nice DH and I put up the last of the season's tomatoes and green peppers into a lovely meat sauce. Too lazy to can so into the deep freeze with it. Had some over a baked sweet potato for supper and it was yummy.
Vegging on sofa watching old Perry Mason episodes with Kurt and, of course falling asleep. Tomorrow looks like an early wake up with the time change (retirement bonus is not having to be on anyone's schedule- so there.)
153.9. Bout the same. Wi**** would start going down again. The only thing I feel I should change is to add exercise. Just can't seem to get that motivation! I don't want to up my med dose as I feel I'm restricting calories just fine.
Last day for the kids to be here. The visit was nice but it will be nice for it to be just us again and not worry about meals and activities for others.
Went out for pizza tonight. Good, I ate my standard 2 slices from a 12 inch thin crust wood grilled pizza with just mushrooms and cheese. I ordered an Old Fashioned but could only drink half (if that) of it. Tirzepatide has really taken my interest for alcohol away. I think it is affecting my libido too which is sad! Makes sense though in how it works!
Greetings all
Fall has arrived for sure. Ok by me. Jus****ched our football team lose a heartbreaker. Oh well. Only a game. At least we had a few hours without election news.
Got a call from the nephew - the one who is expecting the baby after years of IVF. They had important news. They had been told they were expecting a boy by previous doctor. Today they get told it's a girl! Some kind of screw up in which report the doctor was reading because they had multiple embryos. They don't care so it's all good. But jeez, how goofy is that!! I am kind of glad.
Peps have you ever had body fat percentage calculated? Might be interesting. Some of us are just made to be thicker than others. Or so I tell myself. I do recall that to maintain at my low weight I could only do about 1200 calories per day. Not sustainable long term. Maybe just my rationalization.
Hoping to get back to my walking soon. This afternoon has been a cough fest even with the meds. It's all sinus driven. Makes me miserable.
Yep I really don't care about daylight time but easy for me to say. Agreed that it is uncivilized to go to work and come home in the dark.
Exotic trips CC! Sounds like your friends have the right idea. Do it while you can. And boo on the freezer. Nothing lasts anymore.
We still have cold cuts and veggies. I think I am going to cook some of the veggies as it's kind of comfort food in the cold.
Still floundering around with the gallery lease. These people are not being very cooperative.
Not much else. Diane S
