Weight 123.4. I have decided to follow Miss150's pattern of weighing every day (if I can), but only recording my weight once a week (on Fridays). My weight is relatively stable which is good because I feel like I ate a lot over the last few days. Last night we went out with DS to an Indian restaurant and had some delicious food. I ate as much as I wanted, which was more than I was able to eat a few weeks ago but less than I would have before tirzepatide so it is still working well for me.

Rain, rain, go away. Up until a few days ago we have had an extremely hot and relatively dry summer on Cape Cod. This week has been much cooler with showers off and on. This morning it is especially dark and wet out. The remnants of Hurricane Debby are due here on Friday/Saturday. Not great for DS's move to Portland, ME but at least we won't feel like we are missing out on the beach. DH and I are on the assisting staff with the move. We aren't doing any of the packing/moving but are each driving a car north. I am responsible for DS's car, cat, plants, and computer equipment. We will stay overnight Friday night, then return to my much emptier house on Saturday.

This morning I need to make some calls which I hate doing. I have to find out what's up with my car which the adjuster was supposed to look at yesterday to assess the rodent damage. I tried to call the dealership a few times yesterday afternoon and couldn't get anyone on the phone. I also need to set up the inspection of my fire alarms which has to be done within 60 days of closing.

Time to get cracking! Have a winsome Wednesday!

I lost 5 pounds between December and mid-April prior to starting on tirzepatide (I was at 150 when I started it). I reached goal of 125 in 3 more months (4/19-7/12). That was a bit faster than I expected but I struggled to eat much for a while there especially on 5 mg, though I did go to 7.5 mg for 4 weeks at the end when I started to get more hungry. I dropped back to 5 mg 3 weeks ago. I seem to be holding in my range so will stay here for now.

Greetings all

Fog this morining but sun now. Thats the deal here when it is hot inland. Cool ocean air meets warm land = fog.

Scrabble was fun. Won two but lost to the Shark. All Good. Stopped in the studio and did a bit of glazing. Lots of stuff underway there. Cottage cheese for lunch with a bite of chicken. Better than my usual carb fest.

Wishing you luck with the appraiser Liz. No telling where those people get their ideas. My first house appraised for $500 less when I sold it and I had to take that hit. I am sure you will do well. New furniture indeed!

Paula I hear you. we have king sized bed and two dogs and there is barely room. These are not big dogs. Somehow each takes a huge amount of room. Glad your dogs accept the bench.

DD sounds like a great day going. Enjoy.

Bonnie how many jars of beans must you carry? That is a super workout! Today I was gifted some fresh runner beans. No canning goes on here. We eats 'em.

Chore time needed but not feeling it. Later...

Lucky you to have a relaxing day!

18 lbs. lost! Can I get an even 20? Going once, going twice!

Nice mild day weather wise. Did a little cleaning this morning and just trying to figure out what to do this afternoon!

Finally got a better night's sleep. Both dogs sleep with us (both on my side) and even though we have a king sized bed, I'm always fighting for space. I can't even turn from side to side because of dogs and husband in the way! Well, I decided to buy a big tufted bench for the end of the bed and I put the dog beds on that bench and problem solved! I only had to put one dog back into her bed once and I had so much room for my legs to move around. It was divine! DH complained that he got cold because I was so far away! Too bad! This menopausal hot box loved it!

Easy dinner tonight - hot ham and Swiss on a croissant with a little honey mustard sauce. Oven baked to make the croissant extra crispy!
