You are such a good cook - I'm just too lazy.

Good morning! Not too much to report here...my weight seems to have stabilized for the time being, so that's good. DH's younger brother and wife are in the Bay Area visiting from LA, so we're taking the ferry into the city this afternoon to go to a Giants baseball game. Should be a nice evening for it, though I always bring a light down jacket because it can get COLD! The ferry leaves from the next town, about 15 minutes away from our house and goes to the SF Ferry building, which is a really fun foodie place, so we will poke around there for a while too before walking to the park. Coming home, the ferry leaves directly from the ball park, which is SO NICE! Looking forward to it!

I got back from Long Beach on Sunday night. I spent yesterday being a slug. I really didn't do much at all, except visit my dad. I did welcome a new puppy for a week or 10 days. A friend is getting Bug's sister. Her house is being painted this week and the breeders are going on a trip to the giant sequoias. Silly me offered to take the pup for a week to 10 days. I regretted my commitment as soon as it was bed time. The new puppy barked, yowled and complained on and off ALL NIGHT LONG. I was cranky this morning.

Upping the dose to 10 mg of Tirzepatide on Thursday went well. No negative side effects. However, I did notice yesterday that my want to eat really took a nose dive. I had to keep on top of my nutrition yesterday, and actually didn't do a very good job at it. I realized at 8 pm I had not really eaten a proper lunch and still had not had dinner. Not good. I quickly downed a Quest Bar and got on getting some dinner. Having been a slug all day, I had not thawed meat, or gone shopping for salad makings. I jumped in the car and grabbed two grilled chicken tacos at the local taqueria. I finished only one. The other will be lunch today.

I'm down to 238. 2 more pounds until I hit -40 since Tirzepatide. But 43 down from December all time high. ACK! NSV - getting rid of all my show dog pants. They are just too big. I ordered new trousers. They are 4 inches smaller. I am hoping I didn't over estimate my how much I've reduced. What will be trickier is dealing with the suit coats. Those are too pricy to just replace. I will see about getting some of them taken in. But I can see that losing another 40 pounds will require a newish wardrobe. I'm hoping i have enough left over to closet shop. We shall see....

I still need to catch up on the postings made since last Thursday.

Hasta la bye bye!

Do you have a forced air dryer? Using that to dry him will make a huge difference in the shedding after a bath. When a double coated breed is clean the hair releases from the other hair more easily, so it seems the dog is shedding more. The forced air dryer blows away a lot of what is ready to release. Win, win!

This is basically the same one that I use: Forced Aire Dryer

Scale still showing a bit of a gain even though eating and calories have been on point. I'm not going to sweat it and will just trust the process. Not feeling as strong of an effect of the injection this week so maybe I will go up to the 5 mg on Sunday after all.

Boring day today. DH is working. Weather is nice so perhaps I'll take a walk after lunch. Pork lettuce wraps for dinner. I cook up ground pork loin with onions, peppers and shredded carrots, add Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce and serve in lettuce wraps. They are really tasty. I just love the sauce (I get the big bottle at Costco!)
