The scale is taunting me this morning. 163.8 - up .7 when I was so hoping to hit the 30 lbs. lost number today!
DS3 is back to his apartment, DH is working, I'm sure DC1 will pop on over at some point today as they have the day off. Didn't work on the scrapbooks yesterday but plan to today. Sunny skies with a high of 83 projected for today.
Not motivated to cook but I have some frozen chicken enchilada meat in the freezer that I can thaw and throw together pretty quickly for dinner. Like CC, I prefer snack sized meals if left to myself. Yesterday's lunch was Quest loaded taco chips and cottage cheese. I really do like the Quest chips but dang, they are $8 for a 4 ounce bag! Thankfully, I only eat 1 oz. at a time!
Sending good weather vibes for the wedding Liz!

Liz, I hope the weather gods are feeling generous next weekend so your DD can be married on the beach.
I also need to get motivated. Have a lot to do, including the final mopping 
According to the weather apps, we'll have a little shower here midday, but by ****tail hour tonight it'll be lovely. Yay!
I'm glad y'all enjoyed my 30-day weight graph, as did I because it helped me see that my weight is more stable than I thought. These lifelong worries can write a very different story than the data shows. Science, even a mere month's worth of morning weigh-ins, is good!
Y'all kick it today!

I'd not even thought of that. Yes, I will--and will post the pix on Facebook instead of here.

Weight 119.2. One week to the wedding. I paid the BIG bill yesterday - lots of credit card points. The weather here was disgusting yesterday and the same is forecasted for today: super windy and rainy. We are hoping the weather gets it out of its system by next weekend. We are watching the forecasts closely and 2 sources say rain but weather.gov says sun. We really, really want a beach wedding though it can be held in the reception room if necessary but that would be so disappointing.
I made chili yesterday after craving it when Diane S mentioned it. Very appropriate food for the weather we are having. The only other thing we did yesterday was run errands including getting wardrobe boxes to move the clothes in my closets.
Today we are going to DH's house so he can clear stuff out of his old master bedroom set in preparation for the arrival of mine. We will take Justice and stay overnight so will have date night out there. Tomorrow I will probably start packing the clothing in my closets which I won't be wearing before the move.
Time to get cleaned up and motivated. Have a shiny Saturday!

Do you take iron supplements? I have since WLS and up until now have been okay.
Your DH and mine must have had Moms with similar cooking philosophies. My DH also only knew Minute Rice and had only "expanded" to other rices by buying them in microwaveable packets (yuck IMO). He thinks it is such a big deal that I make both mashed potatoes and rice from scratch.

I am envying your new dedication to the treadmill. I'd rather walk outside but haven't had a lot of time to even do that. And this weekend we have the windy rainy unpleasantness. I need to institute a routine to get fit again when we get to Florida.
On the dress issue (proper support), I bought 2 longline bras. The first arrived and would work but it is just a little too too big. It doesn't come in a smaller size but I could sew it if I had to. I have a different model coming Monday in a smaller size which I hope will work so I can return the first one.

Yes! That's the med!

My problem is I can eat them! But I'm fine with smaller too. So best to do smaller anytime I can...
Does he take Vyvanse? I know a few young people who had to switch meds, because they simply cannot get their prescriptions filled.
I like snack sized meals too. Sometimes I can eat a whole sandwich, but typical dinners, no.
