I bet those sore lats are related to your weight gain. This is what AI says:

• Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) Structural damage to muscle tissue that occurs after exercise. This damage leads to inflammation and fluid build-up, which can cause temporary weight gain.

129 even again!

Not very motivated for exercise today but did a 30 minute treadmill interval workout anyway. Glad it's done!

We are going out with friends to a Mexican restaurant tonight and then for drinks at a bar that specializes in tropical beverages. If I can't be at the beach, I guess we'll just have to pretend at the tropical bar! Predicted temp for Monday is now 59. I remember laying out in the sun slathered in Hawaiian Tropical oil and sun-in in my hair when the temp**** 60. Crazy teenager that I was!

No other plans for the weekend except for church and my character development class on Sunday. Next weekend all the boys will be home since DH planned a very early birthday celebration for me (bday is in May). May will be super busy with the wedding and other things so I guess it kinda makes sense!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

212.1 REALLY???? So not fair.... But it is what it is. Up 2+ pounds over the work week. I know that I did not eat that in calories, so logically I know I'm okay, but it is still a mind f**k for me. I even had a good poop! LOL.

I had a great push-pull work out yesterday. My lats are sore. That is rather unusual for me. I did up my weights on dumb bell rows, though. I'm wondering if the working out Monday - Friday pushes the weight up over the week.

I have no clients this weekend. I'm looking forward to a "free" weekend. Yes, I have much I can always do, but I'm happy I will be able to pick and choose on my own time.

BFF and I will get a boys' night tonight. Ron is going with his church choir to a dinner theater group performance that one of the choir members is in.

Anxiety seems to be in better check this week. I'm sure there will be ebbs and flows over the next few months. The school board meets on Monday evening and will vote on retirees for the early retirement program. On Tuesday, I should be officially placed on the upcoming retiree list and can get all my paperwork started. Whoo hooo and fingers crossed... (though no one in the history of the district has ever been denied placement in the early retirement program.

Liz, do you suppose the cold has something to do with how you play golf? If your hand is so cold it's numb, I don't see how you could hold the clubs properly or with control.

Functional and Fruitful Friday to all!

120.2 - official weight of the week

DH did well yesterday with his eating but he looked like he was struggling (LOTS of water and wanted dinner earlier). He has been afraid to weigh since he started his regimen last week but I'm sure he dropped some because he was peeing a lot - that initial water weight.

Golf yesterday was fun though I played even worse than Sunday on the same course. I have some good shots but then the rest stink. It was also incredibly cold in the wind - my right hand was numb at one point. But the company was good - it was a member/guest tournament and my friend had fun. We played with another woman I have met before and liked and her friend. None of us actually played well so we were last getting off the course. My friend and I were dead last in the results. I'm not sure I am cut out for golf. I thought I was improving but then the last 2 times I have played have been my worst since I started. I have 2 weeks off from this league while I travel so maybe it will be better when I get back. At least it hopefully will be warmer.

Today I have yoga in the morning but then am unsure what we will do. The weather will be sunny with way less wind than yesterday so we should go find something outdoors to do.

Have a functional Friday!

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?
