Greetings all
Great sunny day here. I am lazing about as DH is out so I can control the tv. (anybody remember "Outer Limits"?). I promised DH I would work with Poppy a bit today since she acts up so much on a walk. I think she is triggered by cats and dogs. Not sure how DH is responding but I think she just needs some leash manners.
Yeah Liz ditch the painful golf shoes. I have never tried Allbirds but will do so as all shoes hurt me. I am wearing some that are glued together because no new ones work. And yeah when I grow up I want to be Tina Turner and dance in a sparkly short dress.
DD get home safely. Glad you missed the worst of the weather. News reports for that area were awful. Interesting about the empty Memphis buildings . Some cities have done a great job of gentrifying older areas. Omaha sure has. Memphis needs a lesson.
Paula yay on exercise. Good work out. Keep it up. Exercise snacks or full on meals. Either works.
Heloooooo Ann. Thanks for the bidet info. Gotta admit I am a bidet virgin. Always wonder how one avoids water dripping down legs. But they are everywhere in Europe so must work. Don't tell my DH about this. He will want one. Derby week - just go to other people's parties. Is it hard to get tickets to the race?
DH will likely bring home Pizza from his lunch out. So be it. No cooking for me. Gotta stop at store for eggs and such. Wonder how many zillion dollars eggs cost this week?
Cheers. Diane S

205.8 - all good here.
Way too much on my plate this week. What was I thinking? Oh yeah, I know... I put myself in a position to help others and forget how much time I really need to get my own stuff done! Ron had to remind me of this just the other day.
2 dogs groomed this morning. Now to tackle some of the garage clutter, an appointment with the NUT at 3:15, chest and ab work out after that, then dinner plans with BFF.... Oh, have to write a president's message for the national newsletter tonight after dinner... Just a few things....
Shot day yesterday... I keep seeing ads on FB and in my email for lower cost tirzepatide. I will be happy to spend less if that's really the case when I need more in June.
Not much else... better get on my broomstick and get that garage area started.
Fab Friday!
At 120 I maintain at an average of 1350 calories a day.

I can imagine that derby week must be a huge deal there!
A friend's father poo-pooed the idea of a bidet when his daughter bought him one until he was in his last years and all personal grooming became a chore. Then he praised it for allowing him to independently use the toilet.

125.7. Getting close to the low end of goal weight range. Time to increase my calories to 1200. My weight is actually lower than what is on my driver's license! That never happens! Lol!
Workout today was good. I did 40 minutes on the treadmill with speed at 3.7 mph and intervals at 5 and 7% for grade. That puts the workout in the "vigorous" category for exercise. I also did about 20 minutes of a 30 minute resistance training you tube video combining hand held weights with lower body squats and lunges and some ab and butt work thrown in for good measure!
Need to go grocery shopping. Will be picking up stuff for shrimp orzo (tonight's dinner) and Liz's chicken Marsala for tomorrow nights dinner.
Also need to continue my SEO work on Etsy website!
But first.....shower time!

Agree with DD! Buy the expensive shoes! Well worth the investment!

I've never used a bidet! Our favorite Japanese Hibachi restaurant has them but I don't think I want my maiden voyage using one to be in a public restroom! Lol!
Derby week sounds fun! Enjoy!

I'm alive, I'm alive! Work on the home proceeds here apace. I've been doing more errands around town (picking up stuff, making decisions about everything from drawer pulls to wallpaper, etc.) and just not available much to be online.
The big news I have to report is that we now have the world's fanciest (and likely priciest) toilet that raises the lid, turns on its light, washes you clean with warm water after you have done your business, dries your nether regions, flushes itself, lowers the lid and turns off the lights, and for all I know styles your hair if you ask it to do that for you. Needless to say, we are both learning a lot about the joys of bidet'hood. DH is infatuated beyond belief, and I just think it's ridiculous.
This part of the world is now gearing up for the Big Event of the Year--Derby Week! I dunno what we're going to be doing, although I'm sure that bourbon and parties will on the agenda. Obviously, we won't be entertaining, since we'll either be moving our furniture in that week or just about to move our furniture the following week. Next year we'll put on the dog.
I haven't even had time to read the past week's postings here, which I hope to do this weekend. I hope everyone is doing well, that your loved ones are well, that your travels have been without incident, and that your weight has been stable. Xoxoxo

Shoes that don't hurt are worth it. It's an investment that will pay off every time you golf.
We're on the way to the airport. I was expecting a very bumpy take off from all these storms, but it looks a lot calmer this morning. See you all back in Minnesota.
