119 - 4th day in a row and official weight for the week. Amazing how this low dose of tirzepatide keeps working without counting calories. Eating healthy is so much easier. We had fresh grilled grouper, spinach salad, and rice last night. So good and I ate as much grouper as I could (because I like it and for the protein).

Another unbelievably beautiful day yesterday and coming up today. Just amazing weather that we are all appreciating down here (including Justice). Golf was okay yesterday - 6 good holes and 3 terrible ones. But I hit the ball essentially all of the time. Our team tied for 2nd so we each have $10 credit in the pro shop! Which has wonderful clothing btw.

Today is our usual walk, followed by yoga, then beach club. Dinner out with friends. Before we started joining activities and meeting people there would be just the daily walk and beach club a few times a week. What a different world now. Though DH has hermit tendencies I think he is happy with the activity. His tendencies come from anxiety about social situations, but only in anticipating them because he is fine once he is there. I guess we all have that anticipatory nervousness at times but some of us just ignore it though he used to succumb to it.

I made a hair appointment for early March. I hate paying the going rate here which is almost twice what I pay on Cape Cod but at least with longer hair I can pu**** out a bit further. The need to freshen my highlights at the roots is what makes me go back. I really need to find and make appointments with a new dentist and primary care doctor down here. The first shouldn't be so hard but finding a primary care person who will take new patients is not going to be easy.

Have an absolutely phenomenal Friday!

Oh boy - I just can't take that kind of cold anymore. It wasn't quite that bad in Albany last month but it was close. The weather looks like it stays perfect for your Orlando stay. We have had such a beautiful month especially after such a rotten January. I'm hoping the new earmuffs and scarf I bought in early January can stay away until next January

So glad you enjoyed the sushi place! I may have to make chili for the household as I am craving it. I offered to make it for the superbowl party we are going to but the hostess wanted me to bring black bean salsa instead.

So true! My mother used to call herself a yankee - she saved every rubber band, twist tie, aluminum foil pieces not dirty, etc. (and so do I). Very handy to have that stuff sometimes...

It is absolutely!!!! I've always referred to that mindset as a New Englander, though. Having family from the south I've learned that pretty much anyone from north of Maryland is a Yankee! LOL!

Peps, I'm certain you are achieving the rare status of simultaneous fat-loser and muscle-builder. Your gym exploits are beastly (and I mean that in the nicest possible way).

LOL re "fairly civilized looking people" vs. "ferals." I know several of those corners of the world. LOL!
