Weight 119.2. One week to the wedding. I paid the BIG bill yesterday - lots of credit card points. The weather here was disgusting yesterday and the same is forecasted for today: super windy and rainy. We are hoping the weather gets it out of its system by next weekend. We are watching the forecasts closely and 2 sources say rain but weather.gov says sun. We really, really want a beach wedding though it can be held in the reception room if necessary but that would be so disappointing.

I made chili yesterday after craving it when Diane S mentioned it. Very appropriate food for the weather we are having. The only other thing we did yesterday was run errands including getting wardrobe boxes to move the clothes in my closets.

Today we are going to DH's house so he can clear stuff out of his old master bedroom set in preparation for the arrival of mine. We will take Justice and stay overnight so will have date night out there. Tomorrow I will probably start packing the clothing in my closets which I won't be wearing before the move.

Time to get cleaned up and motivated. Have a shiny Saturday!

Do you take iron supplements? I have since WLS and up until now have been okay.

Your DH and mine must have had Moms with similar cooking philosophies. My DH also only knew Minute Rice and had only "expanded" to other rices by buying them in microwaveable packets (yuck IMO). He thinks it is such a big deal that I make both mashed potatoes and rice from scratch.

I am envying your new dedication to the treadmill. I'd rather walk outside but haven't had a lot of time to even do that. And this weekend we have the windy rainy unpleasantness. I need to institute a routine to get fit again when we get to Florida.

On the dress issue (proper support), I bought 2 longline bras. The first arrived and would work but it is just a little too too big. It doesn't come in a smaller size but I could sew it if I had to. I have a different model coming Monday in a smaller size which I hope will work so I can return the first one.

My problem is I can eat them! But I'm fine with smaller too. So best to do smaller anytime I can...

Does he take Vyvanse? I know a few young people who had to switch meds, because they simply cannot get their prescriptions filled.

I like snack sized meals too. Sometimes I can eat a whole sandwich, but typical dinners, no.

It seems your transformation to gym user has been pretty seamless!

Oh, I bet you set a lovely tablescape. A picture to show us perhaps?

Sometimes they add going to the shooting range to their outing. DH assures me they shoot guns BEFORE the bourbon. Good policy. While I do like bourbon, I do not like shooting guns, and I am terrified by horror movies, so I'm grateful to his friend pursuing these interests with him, as is the friend's wife. I bet your DH would be most welcome to join their fraternity.
