119.2 - I wonder why my skeletal muscle mass percentage is so high? Seems more than I would expect since DH's is essentially the same. I do have good core strength but I feel like the muscles in my arms and legs need work. I do sink like a stone in the pool though during water aerobics. Some women don't need a flotation belt at all but I am still very low in the water with one.
Very cool day yesterday with a strong north wind. The sun was out but the wind overwhelmed its warmth. It shifted last night to come from the east so it feels a bit warmer. No sun today, but it is warm enough for water aerobics.
We are considering going to the outdoor venue near us for music this afternoon but it depends on the wind since the venue is right on the water and with the wind from the east may be too cool for comfort. Hopefully this spell is the last of the really cool weather this season.
That's about it from Florida! Have a sustainable Saturday!

If you have the body done and it is just a TT, the incision will be below the belt line so not in the sun.
I hope you like the scale. It was easy to set up and connects quickly to the app on the phone. I set it up for DH too (though he isn't loving the numbers).

I'm sure it is annoying not being able to do things you usually do around the house. Will the other eye have to be done later?

That CLE is a beautiful car. I know you'll love it. What color?

I ordered Liz's new scale, too. I figure for $40, free shipping and easy returns it is sure worth a try. It may help me to be able to monitor body fat on a daily basis, too. I'm really getting kind of sick of watching the scale bounce around, albeit with about a half pound drop every week or two. Seeing body fat drop would be a nice reward and incentive.
I think I may have over lifted on Wednesday. Still feeling pretty sore in my outer pecs. Legs are starting to get sore from yesterday's leg workout, too.
I have too much on my plate for this weekend. No surprise. It's kind of how I roll lately.
RV will go to the dealership on Tuesday afternoon for consignment. Need to get it home and completely emptied this weekend. Paula, I have no interest in renting it out and dealing with all that red tape and liability. I considered it at one point, but my memories of being a landlord when I owned a duplex a took the idea off the consideration plate pretty darn quick!
My reason for not wanting PS in the summer is more about not being in the sun! Being in the sun with scars is no bueno, if I remember correctly. The other issue is I won't be able to work out. I'm not sure I am ready to let go of working out for a chunk of time right now. Perhaps another addiction blooming. At least this one could be considered a healthy one.
I also can't decide yet if I want body or neck/face work to start. I have a feeling I will start with body. I actually don't mind my face so much, it's the neck skin that is bugging me. I think weight loss and age landed squarely on my neck and lower waist. I now have a fold of skin that just hangs around my belt line. It's not a love handle, just empty-ish skin. I can pull about 4-6 inches of skin around my belly right now. Blech...
The volunteer daffodils in my backyard are blooming. First sign that spring has sprung.

They do get big. Most I've found were 1-2". But pincers to tail tip, the longest one I found was over 3". Blech.
Definitely sounds like you made some healthy choices.

Greetings all
Another bright sunny day here but rain will come soon. Had the early morning follow up with the eye surgeon. He said it all looks perfect. Back in a month. Meanwhile I need to pop the left lens out of my glasses as it's now wrong. That will be odd. Don't feel up to driving yet so its sit home and watch tv. I was cranky last night as I am not supposed to stoop over and things like getting dishes out of the dishwasher or picking stuff off the floor was a no go. Longing to be able to do chores. LOL.
Liz that scale sounds like a rocket ship! Amazing what they can make. All your numbers sound great to me. Keep it up. And you are getting into golf! So nice to have supportive buddies. Bet you turn out to be a natural.
Paula glad DC1 is doing a little better and headed back to work. Some people likely need more breaks than others from stressful work. Enjoy your event. Outfit sounds rad. Yeah we are both low RMR people. Surviving the ice age on two crackers.
Hope you are home safe DD. Wishing for weather breaks for you northern people. Record lows in my former home town. Not good.
I think I will go back to the gym tomorrow. Depends on how I feel about driving. Not quite there yet but soon.
Thanks for asking about my hands all. They are better than they were but less than ideal. Bent fingers seem to slowly return as has happened in the past. oh well.
CC I am with you on scorpion squishing. No need to return to nature. Lizards are different. They are cute and eat bugs. Cannot figure out the role of scorpions in the eco system though there must be one. Do they get very big?

I started thinking more seriously about plastic surgery again, and when to have it is a real sticking point for me. Like you said, you don't want to miss a precious summer in a northern state. And if I wait until fall, what if I have complications and it messes up my winter travel?
