167.8, another slight increase. Seriously, how can I gain at 1000 calories per day? I'm guessing some water weight since I am 4 days past due for my injection. My appetite has returned! I actually wanted a snack before bed last night (and had the calories to eat) and am hungry for lunch instead of just trying to figure out what I can choke down to get some nutrition in! I think I will take my shot tonight. It is my last day of the antibiotic as well.
Woman's Bible study this morning and now it is pouring outside. Good day to crawl under the covers and take a nap. Our meeting room was air conditioned and I'm feeling chilled to the bone! A down side of reduced calories and losing weight is always being cold! I think FL temps will be welcomed!
Temps are going to drop all weekend, Fall is a comin' for sure! Cooler temps usually make me want to bake yummy treats! Hopefully the injections will curb that some. Poor DH has had to resort to store cookies and baked goods to satisfy his sweet tooth!

Lots of talk back and forth in our thread yesterday! Also, I saw a post on TT from BB about her struggles with hunger now that she is off the medication. I wonder if she could try a half dose?
We are leaving in a bit to drive back to my home. The fire detector inspection is this morning. I am spending the day doing something with SIL, then will likely come back here to DH's home for a few more days tomorrow. We have no other plans for the weekend now that a couple of things have been cancelled. We might have gone to visit DS in Portland ME, but he is leaving for a weeklong business trip tomorrow.
Today is shot day and I have no idea what my weight is so I will likely stay on the same dose. I do feel like I am eating more so most likely have not lost anymore which is the goal right now in trying to figure out maintenance.
Have a thrilling Thursday!

Exactly: part of our family story.
Great that you can be cheerful rather than washed out. It bodes well for a good last year!

I don't love to cook but when I do everything needs to be in a spot which I deem logical. Takes a lot of arranging in a new kitchen to get it that way. Since I am only 5'3" it also means nothing important on top shelves or high cabinets. Very frustrating here in DH's kitchen where the oils, vinegars and spices are in a cabinet above the microwave which is over the stove. I'm going to have to keep a stool handy here (they don't have any but I have 2 which will end up here).

I think it is lovely. I'm sure she will too.

I had a sleep study prior to VSG where I had to stay in a place overnight with electrodes attached. Most people I know have some sort of sleep study at home these days (an app on the phone I think?).

Congratulations on 20 years! And also for only 40 pounds to go without "dieting"!

Perhaps the special day gods are granting you a pleasant last year for all your sacrifices the previous 30+ years in the classroom! I kind of feel that my classes overall are much better behaved than last year's. I consider it a gift. Who cares if it's the luck of the draw? I'll take it!
