Back from our activities, after the morning excitement. The fire was in the restaurant kitchen, luckily on the other side of the building from us. First we stopped by the Peabody to see the ducks do their march from the elevator to the hotel fountain. It was a bit of serendipity, as we were on way to brunch next door to the hotel and just ducked (haha) into the lobby and saw the beginning of the duck ceremony. Very charming.
I don't know why I still struggle with this, at brunch I way over ordered. They had a biscuit and bacon board with different butters and it sounded so good. So 3 huge biscuits (I finished most of 1), 6 pieces of bacon (I ate 2). What I tell myself: what I ate was soooo good, it was okay to order what I wanted yada, yada. I mostly believe it, but I'm sorry the rest had to be tossed, because I didn't want to carry a doggie bag all day. In order to have some nutrition, I bought a container of Fairlife, and keep it in the room fridge, and drink 2 cups throughout the day.
We went to the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel. I'm left again humbled and amazed. Where do people find the courage to lay their life and body on the line in service of justice? I would highly recommend if you ever find yourself in Memphis.
We're taking a little break, or maybe a long one. We might walk over to Beale Street, or we might just stay in. Tomorrow we are going on a city tour and a riverboat cruise. It should be warm (72) and sunny.
Laughing at being a cheap date! DH used to say that after I had surgery.
I notice the sore muscles after gardening too. I'm disinclined to do squats etc, but will do them to get my flowers in the ground.
206! Congratulations!

Poor puppy - and poor you with the sore rear! That is an awful lot of plants!

Oh my goodness - quite the adventure. I'm glad all is well with your room (and belongings).

127.9. Still needing good bathroom time but had a little success! Either way, I'm happy where my weight is at.
Took DC1 clothes shopping for wedding clothes today! And they took me out to lunch! I'm a cheap date. I just got a cup of wonton soup at PF Changs!
Tomorrow I will travel to the La Crosse area to visit my Mom for a few days. Will get together with my 2 besties for dinner tomorrow night at a fancy Mexican place! Looking forward to seeing them.
5' 4" tall, HW: 242, SW:215.4 Weight Loss - pre-op: - 26.6, M1: -15.4, M2: -16, M3: -11.4, M4: -11.2, M5: -12.2, M6: -7.4, M7: -7.8, M8: -2.0 Goal of 130 lbs. reached at 8 months, 2 days post-op!
206.0 this morning! What a shock that was! That puts me down 75 pounds. It has taken a lot longer than with VSG, but I am feeling pretty damn proud today. It's also more than motivating! Only 6.1 pounds to go to see a 1 in the hundreds place!
I do have to realize that this is mostly likely an artificial drop because I didn't eat enough yesterday. So, with normal eating today and a planned workout, I'm thinking I will see a good 1-2 pound increase in the scale tomorrow. Well, that's what I'm bracing myself for, but today I celebrate!
Got up and was busy by 9 am with a client dog. Finished grooming about noon. No more client dogs until next weekend. That is a good thing. Tomorrow I have a DEXA Scan. Another incentive to eat well today. I am hoping to see a reduction in Body Fat percentage. Fingers crossed. I know I've been doing the right things without going over board (either way - lol), so all I can do is wait and see and compare to last time.
I have busy work today. The kind of stuff I dislike.... Clerical, paper sorting, money stuff.... YUCK! So I must force myself to get moving.
Merry Monday.
