What day do you leave? You do realize that your body is going to hold onto that last pound as hard as possible before it admits defeat.

200.9 UGH.... and I've been trying so hard to get this last pound off... I have been so good about my food intake. Utterly frustrating.
Today is my last "busy" day. Beginning tomorrow it will be all about packing and getting ready for the trip, whi*****ludes doing some major cleaning around here.
Luckily, my packing will be pretty easy. We don't have anything particularly fancy planned, so casual it shall be. Lots of shorts! I checked the weather as far ahead as I could. 70s and 80s for the entire trip except in Amsterdam where it is predicted to be in the 60s with some possible rain.
Must run! Client will be here soon.
Weight 117.6-119
We did not do the Butterfly Farm yesterday as we weren't bored enough. We took a second walk instead. We decided to do it in combination with a lunch out some other day.
We had dinner at Wacky Wahoo where we both had excellent grouper. Love that stuff!
We have decided to do Happy Hour at a different place every night to decide which one has the best in our area. We have done the one at our resort, the one directly next door, one 3 resorts down, and on our own patio last night. Tonight we are going to try the resort next to ours on the other side. We never used to go anywhere other than our own but it is very noisy here lately and the bartenders seem to pay a lot of attention to the young women and ignore everyone else. Crabby old lady here!
Today is largely a repeat of yesterday. It is our last day more or less alone here as our friends arrive in the afternoon tomorrow. We will pick them up at the airport which is only 20 minutes away. I think we may go to a casual restaurant out on the water on the way to the airport tonight.
Picture below of chickees lining the beach and a ship coming in this morning (taken from our patio). Have a warm Wednesday!

Congratulations on moving on in such a positive way! Is it possible that you will lose some more weight now that you are off the medication?

I will have to look for that song. Yes, one has to sit in the shade and umbrellas don't provide enough. The palapas (called chickees here) provide a lot more shade.

I have never had anything from Chik Fil A! They didn't used to have them in Massachusetts and have never gone to one in Florida.

Oh, you must not tell me these things! I can not spend money there out of principle, but damn! those choices sound perfect for me!
It did indeed rain, but we had a nice, small (about 15) gathering of my favorite coworkers, past and present, for my retirement celebration. As we were leaving the venue, the sun was starting to peak out. Of course. But again, I had a very nice time.
I'm really looking forward to doing my paperwork day at home on Thursday. Not allowed, normally you have to be in the building, but since I have sick days to burn, and I already have a sub, I'm going to "call in sick", but actually do the work I need to do at home. And Friday is take care of parents day. So a short week.
I had an oncology appointment today, and the oncologist was fine with my decision to stop using the hormone medication. She said if she thought it was not a good idea, she would encourage me to try different meds etc. She also said I stayed on it longer than many of her patients. I will see her one more time in a year, and then we'll decide if I want to continue seeing oncology yearly, or switch all my care to a PCP. So another chapter in this story concludes. It feels good. A new beginning is dawning, and I am unencumbered by the weight of old struggles.
Greetings all
Sunny and windy here. DH said we even had a power outage. I was out of the house and did my walking. I found a fabulous duet by Roy Orbison and KD Lang. Crying. Spectacular. After that I went to the studio and did more glazing and finishing. Gotta get ahead. The wind blows a lot of dust around down there on gravel roads. Nasty.
So dinner mystery is solved because DH brought home deli sandwiches. Yay. DH was disappointed in the tech car visit because they didn't talk.
Paula I am so glad your mother's surgery went well and that she is comfortable. Good on you for seeking healthy options. Being out of town or out of routine is often a recipe for poor eating.
Liz the sun there in Aruba must be pretty intense. I assume there is shade on the beach. Wishing you warm swimming waters. Being an extreme paleface, a palapa is essential for any beach visit by me. But sitting under one and sea gazing sounds delightful. Ditto a butterfly farm. How cool is that? What sort of butterflies?
We started Department Q. Pretty good though dark.
Single digit days DD. Yay.
