119 - like Miss150, I have been hovering around this weight steadily for 10 weeks, and within my desired range for 19 weeks. Without counting calories! But I did have the hungry horrors a bit last night. Instead of dreaming of donuts, I dreamed of roast beef and potatoes LOL. I went to a half dose this week (with another half dose due tonight). I'm not sure if this will work but I'll give it a try for at least 2-3 weeks. The PA at HenryMeds suggested doing it (he said it can also be helpful at breaking stalls for some people).

The house got fully cleaned yesterday! So nice to have a DH who helps. Deceased DH worked too much to help before he retired, then the dementia kept him from having the skills necessary afterwards though he did try.

We are going to the Dolphins/Raiders game in Miami with friends today. It is supposed to be warm but cloudy. Probably better than full sun. Yesterday I bought a Dolphins shirt to wear.

But first, the Sunday bus to breakfast leaves at 7:30, so I better get ready. Have a superb Sunday!

The big pub crawl of 2024 with the niece is in the books, and it was awesome! It's the most one-on-one time we've spent together in a long time, and it was thrilling to observe how INCREDIBLY WELL LAUNCHED she is! I'm so proud of her for what she's accomplished, both personally and professionally. She's so thoughtful, knowledgeable, smart -- OK, I'll shut up now. :)

But boy oh boy was I hung over yesterday! For one thing, bar drinks are about twice the size of home pours. The best I can remember is that between 5:30 pm and 1:30 am I had at least five ****tails. I can do the math and am aware or how many of my brain cells I probably killed. I likely won't EVER drink that much at one time again for the rest of my life. And frankly, I'm not sure how long it'll be before I muster the courage to order a single ****tail in a bar.

But as they say, we don't regret the things we did--just the things we didn't do.

Today I will mulch leaves and keep sucking down water.

What a great visit and how wonderful that your niece has grown into a great young woman! I can't drink mixed drinks these days and try to just sip wine. I drank water in between at DD's bachelorette pub crawl which saved me.

I'm wondering how your niece did, was she able to keep up the pace? But as they say, go big or go home. Is it even a Pub Crawl if you don't feel destroyed in the morning?

Yes, she more than kept up. But she's the one who at 1:30 in the morning said it was time for us to go home. Not quite sure who the "adult" in that adventure was.

150.4, still in the damn 150's.

Just got back from church. Went early to attend a friend's baby dedication. They were having a chili feed fundraiser but a bowl of chili at 10:00 am didn't appeal to me. I just put cash in the donation box instead!

Time to go grocery shopping. I think I will save the Costco run for tomorrow. Landscaping guy is supposed to be here at noon to take down the plants. We've been waiting for weeks! Hard to get good help these days.

Not sure what else is on the docket today. DC1 hanging out here on their day off!

Yes! Avoid Costco on the weekends whenever possible!

Yeah, even the grocery store was nuts! Packer game Sunday too!

218.0 The drop continues...

Ann, what a great time with your niece. You made me laugh about the pours at the bar. In my heavy drinking days I always thought the pours at the bars were skimpy! It's all in the perspective. But let's face it, I'm a guy who has never embraced moderation well, try as I might!

I suspect Molly is pregnant. She is not eating in the morning, which is a good indication of morning sickness. Three weeks into pregnancy is about when it hits. Ultra sound is this coming Thursday. Fingers crossed.

I have a day off from everything! How very, very unusual. I am going to get at least a little cleaning done. I noticed yesterday the doggy dust bunnies in the entry way look like tumble weeds! I may also try to squeeze in an extra workout since I have the time!

I had weird stress dreams early this morning. I dreamt I awakened to find the front door ajar and cars parked on my front lawn and workers had started emptying my garage of its clutter. Then while trying to help them organize, my BFF shows up, which is fine. But then suddenly a client I haven't seen in years shows up followed by a groomer friend with a friend in tow and I realize I have a grooming to do. BFF is angry that I have a grooming, then the client forgot to bring her dog and suddenly I'm living in a glorious house up on a hill that has a four bridge view of the San Francisco Bay, but I'm supposed to be moving or deciding to move. Then there was something else about the guy who was in charge of cleaning up the garage being interviewed by my client because he was some bigwig celebrity. Oh, the tangled dreams I dream!

I am off to have a leisurely morning, a second cup of joe and to enjoy the Sunday quiet. Toodles!

Just reading about your dream is entertaining! Lots of imagery and symbolism there.
