Greetings all

Up early by my standards. It's a super sunny day. DH got in to the dentist early to fix the temp crown that fell off so that is good. Less whining. But he has to be careful what he eats - none of his continuous popcorn crunching.

So I will go walk at the gym in a bit and then go get a haircut. Then maybe finish the project I started yesterday which was to clean out this one rat hole corner in the bedroom that had become a debris repository. It is not a useful space as it is behind the door mostly but I just got sick of looking at it. Only took 3 years.

I made the loose meat sandwiches last night and we will have that again. Safe for DH.

Yep Liz, your DH has to find his own way. I agree - it's not beer; it is portions and restaurant sized stuff. We forget that non sleeved people can really eat a lot and can push capacity without the consequences that we have. Casserole sounds great.

Yep Paula the poop factor is real. No **** LOL. Hope all the snow got plowed. Sounds like you have a good group for bible study.

DD have you made it out of the house yet? Spring snow storms don't usually stick around - just long enough to make life hard.

Yeah Peps it is so annoying when you do everything right and don't see the result. Except you will. Just a little slower than you hoped.

And speaking of slow, the third eagle egg at Big Bear is showing a little hatch pip. We were wondering if that third egg was going to hatch but it is! The outer part of the nest is covered in snow so there are only brief peeks at the eaglets. So dang cute.

Halfway point on the eye drop regimen. But the number of drops is gradually reducing. Yay.

Yoo hoo CC, wherefore art thou?

Same explanation for my variations over the week - the rises seem to correlate with days with less movement, then my body rectifies things and it drops back down.

129.4. Still in range, breathe Paula! These are normal fluctuations!

Had woman's Bible study today which was good as always! Sold some scrapbooking supplies on Facebook marketplace the last few days which is also good!

No workout today, did the increased speed on the treadmill yesterday and will try to motivate myself to do the hard DVD tomorrow. I've never been much of a gym person but I kind of want to do the weight machines. I bought a universal like set after VSG but sold that when we sold our house before Ben passed. I've always been able to add muscle fairly quickly but now that I'm in menopause, I'll be anxious to see if that still holds true.

Shepard's pie soup for dinner tonight. Recipe says to put a scoop of mashed potatoes in the middle of the bowl before serving which doesn't sound super appealing to me, so I will just dice some potatoes and add with the other veggies in the soup!

Liz, exciting that DH wants to get healthier too. My DH needs to lose about 10 lbs. to get into his suit for DSD's wedding! He's trying!

Peps, I notice a pattern to my weight fluctuations too and have decided it is bowel movement related! Because I eat very little and the meds slow down digestion, I just don't go that often, but when I do, I really do! Hoping for some action soon! Eating a certain protein bar usually works for me!

Diane, exactly ! 54 prescribed hands in 6 groupings/categories.

Lists can be super helpful and satisfying as things are checked off, but sometimes frustrating when something lingers there because you can't get it done because of an obstacle.
