Thanks for the latest addition to my vocabulary! MAFFICK! Love it! I have to get that one incorporated into my usage!
So, I felt dumpy yesterday! LOL! My shirt was too baggy, my jeans were loose... And rather than celebrating, I was annoyed. LOL! The jeans are new. I've worn them only a few times. The last time I wore them they were a bit snug in the waist. Yesterday I could pull them off without unbuttoning or unzipping. I have absolutely no idea why this annoyed me. Maybe it's because it felt like I wasted money on them? Who knows.... It's not like they cost a fortune. I bought them at Costco. Weight loss can trigger odd reactions! LOL!
However, I do believe this validates what I was thinking was going on with me physically. My body is slimming down right now, rather than showing scale reduction. That is perfectly fine with me. It's actually a positive.
Another funny thing about the brain: while gaining weight at this weight I felt horribly fat, disgusted with myself, etc... However, at this weight while in a losing mode, I feel quite spectacular! I feel thinner than I actually am. Interesting how the brain perceives physical changes depending on the cir****tance surrounding the change.
Liz, I did not realize that in MA one had to get a lawyer involved with the sale of the house. Here in CA it's a realtor and a title company and a notary public. That's it. Most of the title people and realtors are also notary publics. That makes the actual paperwork and legal side of things pretty easy for the seller and buyer.
National Ice Cream Day was indeed celebrated with an Oreo Cookies n' Cream Ice Cream Sandwich. Delish!
Good morning, or perhaps afternoon. I'm waiting for DD to get ready so we can go to the beach. DH and DS are taking the bikes out. Post beach/bike ride we are going to a restaurant called the Tide Pool, which has phenomenal lobster rolls. It's a walk up counter, with tables on the lawn overlooking the ocean.
Yesterday the 4 of us went to the beach, but none had the courage to enter the water. Water temps of about 68 I believe. I might, might try today. Depends how hot I get. Plus the sharks seem kind of busy this summer! It seems most sightings are off Cape Cod, but there have been some here on the North Shore.
Last night we had dinner at My Place By the Sea. In order to get reservations, you have to line up, day of, starting at noon. We were happy to get one! Beautiful ocean side, with awesome food.
DD is finally ready! Off we go.
Love those family phrases (which we carry on). I'm with you on the porch swing. I never had a place for one but would have loved to.

I made a concerted effort to eat more yesterday, waiting a while after I felt full to eat some more. It is still shocking me that it is difficult. But I think I got enough calories/protein in. I suspect Peps is right that my muscles took a hit so I will have to work on getting that back through increased protein and exercise. Though I don't feel any weaker thank goodness.
Today we have appointments most of the day for AC service (probably more time waiting for them to arrive at the slotted time than they spend here), then with our attorneys this afternoon. We are still trying to get the Postnup agreement updated to handle our jointly owned property properly. The problem is that though Mike and I agree with what we want to do, each of our lawyers seems to interpret it differently so we can't get the wording right. Legally we have to have separate lawyers, but this effort has turned into something resembling telephone tag where Mike and I jointly write in English what we want, one lawyer turns it into legalese, then the other says that it doesn't say what we asked for. I asked for a joint meeting in the same room to get this stupid thing done. We have found that the laws in Massachusetts and Florida are quite different. Buying and selling property in Florida is much easier and generally only requires a title company and no lawyer. But legal documents delineating what happens with a husband and wife's property when they die is much more convoluted because Florida has different inheritance laws.
Speaking of selling property, I got a note back from the lawyer I contacted over the weekend in Massachusetts accepting the task. The inspection is today at 5. I will be very surprised if they find anything because I have tried to keep up with all maintenance. That includes correcting some things that turned out to be an issue when I bought the house but weren't pointed out to me at the time (the deck wasn't put on quite right - very sturdy but there was no flashing so water would get under it next to the house).
Time to get out for a walk before the AC person comes. Have a maffick Monday!

Mike likes AIS - maybe he will shift to that!?!

I was going to say the same. Our Meijer also carries some flavors!
