Back down to the 12 lbs. lost. Not sure what happened last week. This week's injection seems to be working better, so even though there is some medication left in the first vial, I'm tossing it out!

Uneventful day here so far. I made chocolate chip cookies and only ate maybe a teaspoonful of dough. The actual cookies are not calling my name either. I'll be bringing a good portion of them plus ham and cheese sliders and cheesy hash browns to a couple in our Bible study who just had their first baby! All the other couples in the group have mostly grown kids so it is kind of fun cheering the new parents on!

I made chicken tostadas last night and will have the leftovers tonight. I think the boys will have Jimmy John's. Easy peasy dinner!

Good morning, or perhaps afternoon. I'm waiting for DD to get ready so we can go to the beach. DH and DS are taking the bikes out. Post beach/bike ride we are going to a restaurant called the Tide Pool, which has phenomenal lobster rolls. It's a walk up counter, with tables on the lawn overlooking the ocean.

Yesterday the 4 of us went to the beach, but none had the courage to enter the water. Water temps of about 68 I believe. I might, might try today. Depends how hot I get. Plus the sharks seem kind of busy this summer! It seems most sightings are off Cape Cod, but there have been some here on the North Shore.

Last night we had dinner at My Place By the Sea. In order to get reservations, you have to line up, day of, starting at noon. We were happy to get one! Beautiful ocean side, with awesome food.

DD is finally ready! Off we go.

But it's so good for your hair and nails.... LOL

I made a concerted effort to eat more yesterday, waiting a while after I felt full to eat some more. It is still shocking me that it is difficult. But I think I got enough calories/protein in. I suspect Peps is right that my muscles took a hit so I will have to work on getting that back through increased protein and exercise. Though I don't feel any weaker thank goodness.

Today we have appointments most of the day for AC service (probably more time waiting for them to arrive at the slotted time than they spend here), then with our attorneys this afternoon. We are still trying to get the Postnup agreement updated to handle our jointly owned property properly. The problem is that though Mike and I agree with what we want to do, each of our lawyers seems to interpret it differently so we can't get the wording right. Legally we have to have separate lawyers, but this effort has turned into something resembling telephone tag where Mike and I jointly write in English what we want, one lawyer turns it into legalese, then the other says that it doesn't say what we asked for. I asked for a joint meeting in the same room to get this stupid thing done. We have found that the laws in Massachusetts and Florida are quite different. Buying and selling property in Florida is much easier and generally only requires a title company and no lawyer. But legal documents delineating what happens with a husband and wife's property when they die is much more convoluted because Florida has different inheritance laws.

Speaking of selling property, I got a note back from the lawyer I contacted over the weekend in Massachusetts accepting the task. The inspection is today at 5. I will be very surprised if they find anything because I have tried to keep up with all maintenance. That includes correcting some things that turned out to be an issue when I bought the house but weren't pointed out to me at the time (the deck wasn't put on quite right - very sturdy but there was no flashing so water would get under it next to the house).

Time to get out for a walk before the AC person comes. Have a maffick Monday!

I was going to say the same. Our Meijer also carries some flavors!
