Ron can wear socks to bed. I can not. Will be curious to see in which category you fall. I have been tempted lately to try again.

Okay! Good to know. For some reason I thought you did not enjoy food during the weight loss phase of your tirzepatide journey.

119.8 - official weight for the week. I looked back and I have been hovering more or less in the same weight area for 5 months now and at my current dose of 1 mg of tirzepatide twice a week for 2 months. So it seems to be working. I have enough for about another 11 months, then will have to figure out how to get it again.

Today is another day with nothing on the calendar and the temperature may actually get to 70 today. It is clear and calm out in the Marina this morning. Maybe we can even open up the lanai sliders later. We will probably go to Happy Hour tonight to catch up with some people. Likely leftover lasagne following that.

But first, a Justice walk! Have a fiery Friday!

Sounds similar to that recipe actually. So glad you made it to warmth. I hope DH is feeling well after his respiratory stuff a few days ago.

It does sound like a great deal but tough to decide with those broad reviews.

Yeah, my face is sagging a bit more around the eyelids, jaw and neck but it has been over 8 years since I had a facelift and 7 since my eyelids were done. It was a lower facelift at the time because my jowls and neck sag were so prominent after losing weight following VSG. I think I still look somewhat younger than the 70 I will be in 2 months but I hate it regardless. I don't think I would have another facelift but who knows?

Late check in for me! I posted a few pics and summary of our day on FB if you are interested.

I loved Jimmy Carter! Such a sweet, caring man.

Tomorrow morning we have a whale watching tour and then not sure what else is on the docket! I think maybe some pool time and soaking up some rays! Today was nice and warm but pretty cloudy with just a bit of spitting rain!

Calories have been low (even though I stopped tracking yesterday). Need to do a better job with hydration! It seems so hard for me!

My lasagna recipe is super easy. I actually make a "casserole " with Malfalda noodles (look like little lasagna noodles). I cook up about a pound of lean ground beef, drain the fat and add my favorite canned pasta sauce which is usually Ragu chunky garden vegetable, I cook a box of the pasta and drain. Them I layer meat sauce, pasta, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese for a few layers ending with meat sauce and a layer of mozzarella. If I'm only cooking for 2-3. I divide it between 2 8X8 ish pans and freeze one to eat later! Easy!

Kudos again to Liz (for the umpteenth time) for sharing the best getting-to-sleep tip I've ever had: Wear socks to bed.

Ditto your diagnosis of narcissism with a big streak of assholery.
