134.8. Just going to post this because I've started to a few times but then deleted but, Something kind'a shady about this. Last week in May I was at the top of my maintenance range and by July 11th holding smack in the middle at 145. No problem and good; however since August 14th I have continued to drop and it's not intentional at all. I'm wondering if maybe this is something to do with malabsorption and perhaps related to my pancreas/Whipple. If so, just, poop. Was told that, for no apparent reasons, sometimes changes happen. I called my endocrinologist only to find that he has moved his practice to Arkansas. For now working on the hopeful premise that all is well and good, system settling down where it wants to and fingers crossed.

BMI at 21(for what it's worth)

Biggest problem today is what I was going to wear today does not fit well and it's into the back of the closet for me. Beautiful day for a wedding! Have a good one.

We haven't been to Maine yet on our East Coast wanderings, but it's on our list. Sometimes I think we should just go ahead and move to the East Coast, but then we'd be even further from DS. And no direct flights to Madison, so not as easy to visit.

I am really enjoying getting on the scale and seeing the same weight each morning. As I've said before, I'm not thin, but what a relief to be able to maintain a weight that's comfortable. I still enjoy food, like the 3 onion rings I ate last night. Very delicious. But if a meal is more pedestrian, more about fuel than foody pleasure, I'm fine. This is even different than WLS. After WLS, I wanted the small amount of food to really "count", to be pleasurable. Wegovy has severed another link to food obsession, that still existed after surgery.

DH just left for downtown to go to some kind of Formula 1 demonstration. Like touring Aircraft Carriers, that's an interest best pursued without me tagging along and sighing :) So how shall I spend my free time? I feel like I might end up at Chicos.

Shopping that does need to happen: buying a new mattress. I love getting a new mattress, but I hate shopping for them. Always stressing out about whether we will like it long term, and are we paying a fair price. It's so hard to compare. Perhaps some research is needed. Sometimes when we're in a hotel and I really like the bed, I take a picture of the label, but I haven't done that for awhile, so I have no current labels.

Overcast after a beautiful week of sun and mid 80s. Trees are starting to turn. Can winter be far behind? Knowing that next winter I can leave whenever I want makes thinking of this one more bearable.

Fairlife fan for life! And even their chocolate ones are a little goopy for me. I prefer the vanilla or caramel, but haven't seen those for years.

I keep forgetting to comment on this... I've been having to drink Premier Protein shakes as I'm out of Fairlife shakes and there are none around here. Jeez Louise, they are hard on my digestive system! I'll be happy to go back to Fairlife for much better taste and less internal distress. What do they put in those things??

So impressed you went to the gym, Diane! That's awesome!

Not sure Kirby thinks it's beneath him, he more seems confused by the concept after one or two throws. Like he doesn't understand why if we want the ball brought to us so badly, why do we keep throwing it away? Our goldens over the years have fallen into two camps -ball retrievers and non-ball retrievers. We're about half and half. He definitely retrieves things we don't want him to retrieve - shoes, dish towels, remotes, glasses, coasters, sleep eye masks...

The Clampets have mostly decamped!
