Tasty Costco find. Little individual packs of cooked steak bites for 20g of protein each. I'm very sensitive to mystery chunks in cooked meats and this all seems good quality and tender. Lightly seasoned. I'll be getting these again! Expiration date is in 24 days from yesterday, so it's not something I have to speed through.
126.8, but on Mom?s scale not mine at home.
Dinner out with my besties last night was fun. Always good catching up with them. We have been a threesome since high school, in each other?s weddings, carried each other through miscarriages, moving, divorce, problems with kids, cancer and death! Just the best of friends! Wish I lived closer to them at times!
Long day sitting with Mom today but at least there was a little music program in the afternoon with an old guy with a guitar singing old country tunes, hymns and patriotic songs. The residents at the nursing home seemed to enjoy it and I was happy to get out of her room for a little bit. I?m back at her apartment in the assisted living facility and will give it a through cleaning before leaving tomorrow. My plan is to visit her once more for a few hours in the morning and then head home. DH says the puppies are missing me!
205.2
I pouted a bit yesterday after my DEXA scan results. Pouting included eating 2 pastries. Otherwise my food was spot on for the day. LOL! Otherwise.... I crack myself up sometimes. I love how engrained the eating disordered thinking is: "Body fat high??? F that! After all the work you've put in....F that! Eat some pastries!" But, I do concede that the pastries were well worth it. They were DELICIOUS.
Beautiful blue skies today after several days of gray and icky weather.
The TT Facebook page is weird. Not sure what's going on with that. I put a test post on it and it appears to have gone through. But it's the first of 3 posts to make go through. I also got a weird post from Bonnie H. on my feed supposedly made on the TT page, but when I went to look for it, it wasn't there.
On the docket today: Grooming, visiting dad, working on a dog club newsletter (yes a new chore I took on...), and a leg workout.
Saw Disney's Snow White last night (that is how the pastries came into play...wandering the street to find a place to eat we found the bakery!). It's a charming movie and I loved the updated ending and the rewrite of the Snow White character as someone *****discovered her inner strength to overcome oppression. Blatantly obvious, too, was the lack of a Prince Charming. Snow White needed no rescuing, so a partnership with a handsome bandit was created instead.
Winsome AND Winning Wednesday to all!
120.8 - good, but of course I would be more comfortable down a pound where I had been lingering before my trip.
Yesterday I set up a new mesh router to hopefully improve our internet speed on the lanai. It says simple setup instructions but of course it wasn't simple at all. But I did get it up and running well by the end of the day so we shall see if it helps.
Golf yesterday afternoon with DH was okay. Some good shots and some horrible ones. Putting was a problem at almost all holes. Maybe I should practice this afternoon?
I need to figure out something for dinner. DH cooked grouper last night. It was okay but not great as I didn't like the spice he used - too salty. Not enjoyable enough for expensive fish IMO. I may haul out my old WW recipes to find something.
Time to think about an early Justice walk before driving DH to golf. I hate how dark it is in the morning. The sun rises here at 7:10, though it rises on Cape Cod at 6:22. Of course it is 40 degrees warmer here.
Have a winsome Wednesday!

What a pain having to deal with that Costco nonsense. Good to know that Eli Lilly was helpful. I will probably buy vials from them once I use up my existing supply. Since I am on Medicare my insurance shouldn't be run at all.
From the 80's to the 40's is one drastic change! And I complain about a 15 degree change...

Sounds like you are having a good time!
I admit that I always thought Tina was the star and Ike just used (and abused her). Somewhat interesting to hear that he had talent too, but boy Tina was Simply the Best!

I thought of telling you all I was pregnant for an April Fool?s joke but know that I have have mentioned menopause too many times for it to be believed!
Greetings all
It is sunny now but boy was it raining earlier. Started the day with Scrabble where I played terribly and lost all my games. Boo Hoo. These people are getting too good for me. After that I stopped at the store for liver sausage since it is dog pill day and that is the only way to get them down. Bought a few other things but nothing too terrible. Then it was on to the studio for art time. One Scrabble friend came by to use our balance scale since he has some old pennies that might be valuable which have a weight difference. No jackpot found.
So DD on to Graceland. What fun. I hear it is marvelously tacky. Should be fun.
Liz glad you have a gold buddy who is fun. No fun to take it too seriously.
Well Peps I will have to see what they mean by visceral fat. Regardless of the scan numbers, you are doing great and should be proud.
Ditto Paula. So slim you mom did not recognize you! My mom once asked me if my husband and I were planning on having children. I had to remind her I was 64 years old!
And speaking of kids, little miss Vivian is doing fine. She lost a few ounces as newborns often do but it working on putting it back. They have a lactation consultant and all kinds of services at this high risk baby hospital so she is getting all that is needed. The kid has such long fingers - she will either be a piano player or a surgeon.
Not much else in this long day by my standards. More pot roast tonight. Yay for that. No April fools jokes here.
