121.2. Liz gave her .4 to me and I don't want it! Strange because I didn't eat that much yesterday because of the tooth extraction.
Went to the art fair in Downtown Fort Myers today. It was really nice! Didn't buy anything but did find a little art gallery that I may send samples of my work to. I bet it is hard getting in there!
We ate lunch downtown and had the best lobster rolls! Served warm with oodles of butter. If I don't lose the .4 lbs Liz gave, it will be well deserved!
Sunning by the pool right now! Temp is actually 78 and beautiful!
Tomorrow is a class for newcomers at church at 9:30 and then our regular service at 11:00. 55 plus Bible study has resumed I guess but is canceled tomorrow night for the superbowl. I won'****ch it but perhaps DH will!
DH flys out first thing Monday morning for 6 days in WI. SDD will be getting a cochlear implant and has asked for help during her recovery. I have yet to drive down here yet! Guess I'll get my practice soon enough!

Sorry for the lone pup necessitating a C section! That does sound expensive! Who will keep the one pup?
Congrats on going downward again!

I didn't know any of that, Peps. So much more disappointing than just the "one" aspect!
I don't like bats either! Hope between your Dad and Claudia, a through exam of the feet was given!

201.9 Headed in the right direction at least. Luckily, I had decent session with my NUT. I find that accountability helpful. It's also great to speak with someone who truly understands the weirdness of eating disorders and how the eating disorder can infiltrate so many levels of thinking processes. My life is so much easier on the food/weight front being able to live harmoniously with the eating disorder rather than fighting against it all the time.
I had a good pity party and tantrum yesterday over the ultrasound results. I was feeling better by the evening. It was hard messaging hopeful puppy people telling them there would be no puppies available. So you all know, when a large dog has a single puppy it's a given c section. A single puppy will generally not generate enough hormone production to trigger labor. In the old days before ultra sound single pups often died in utero, fully developed ready to be born because mama never went into labor. The expense of this single pup will be prohibitive. When all is said and done, I estimate that bringing the pup into the world will be upwards of $7K. That would not be an issue with even a litter of 3 or 4. I could break even, which is always my hope. Oh well, it is what it is.
Not much else going on. Ordered Dad a new walker which I will assemble and deliver today. Also, will go take pics of the Brussels Griffon pups today. It's time to choose which puppy Aunty Kathryn will keep.
Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday!

193.8. That's just over 10 pounds! 10 more exactly to a "normal" BMI. I should probably scan myself in my measurement suit to celebrate.
Today is RunSedona, the half marathon, 10k, and 5k. It's all done on the road to my house (the turn around for the half marathon is at the bottom of our street), so the road is closed until 11. Funny how I can go days not wanting to leave the house, but the second I am forbidden from leaving I have all sorts of things I want to leave to do!
Later a guy who does odd jobs in Sedona and advertises on NextDoor is coming to take a bunch of big stuff I have to the dump transfer station; two big, stiff rug pads and two pallets nailed into a T by a shipping company who brought a mirror. It'll be nice to have them out of my garage.
Countdown to the parental arrival on Monday. I need to clean this weekend.
Crazy story: My dad's wife hates bats. So of course they somehow get them in their house occasionally. She said they were watching tv yesterday when they both saw something fly from the kitchen into the living room and back. Sure enough a bat! (I thought they hibernated?? It's 17 degrees there.) Anyway, they are trying to chase it out the door and it flies into the basement. So they shut the door and shove towels along the bottom to keep it there. Then they went to dinner and left/returned through that door. They're taking off their boots and walking up the short flight to the kitchen door that's shut to keep the bat in the basement and my dad yells, it's on your foot!! It's hanging on the back of Claudia's sock! She's shaking to get it off and they happen to be holding their bat capture tools - a net and a tennis racket - they had bought that afternoon at the sporting goods store, so once it's off of her, they trap it with the net, then scoop it up with the racket and throw it outside. While I was talking to them, I made my dad go get the huge magnifying glass with a bright light I got him for Christmas to look on her leg for punctures. There were none, thank God, or that means rabies shots. Lots of bickering over what foot it was, so they checked both. Is that nuts?!
The turkey thing was good, but not great. Not sure I'll make it again. Hope you all are having a good day where you are!
119.8 - minus .4. Basically back into my usual range for the last year and a half.
Nice day yesterday - not too windy so not too cool. We did need to wear light jackets and long pants but it was pleasant. DH and I spent the afternoon in Key West walking along the waterfront and stopping in a couple of places for drinks. DH bought a t-shirt to replace an old one that is falling apart. We met our non-walking friends at a restaurant just outside of Key West for dinner. The movie of the evening was Flash Dance. Footloose is still winning in the best movie category.
Today (and for the rest of our time here) it is supposed to be 70 or higher. Not sure that any day will qualify as a beach day but they will certainly be outdoor days. Maybe we shall see more Key Deer on our walk. They certainly are used to being a protected species as even the dog doesn't make them nervous. So pretty.
Have a satisfying Saturday!
