Weight 118.2. Last day of daylight savings time. DH bounded out of bed at 6 am. Does not bode well for staying up late to try and adjust to standard time.

Today I have water aerobics, then we are meeting an old friend of DH in Melbourne for the afternoon. Back here by 6 to attend a birthday party. We asked the bartender at the clubhouse what she drinks and bought 2 bottles of wine for her gift.

I don't think we have any plans for tomorrow which is a good thing. I am skipping the morning walk probably because DH is ready to go and I am still drinking my coffee.

Have a safe Saturday!

Stable is good, but don't lose more! I am at that same point of trying to maintain and not lose. Weird isn't it?

I feel like a lot of things taste too salty to me even though they didn't used to. But it is true that a lot of salt is used in restaurant food preparation.

I can't imagine having 500 trick or treaters. At our prime I think we were still under 100. DS had 20 at his apartment. Zero in our old people community.

Using AI for creating lessons! Very cool! I wonder what I could use it for in my retired world?

133.4

About a half pound lighter than October 1st so calling it stable and maintaining

Not much of a Halloween here, either, and both of us away from the house. if there were any t+ters showed we missed them. DH at hometown football playoffs and I spent most of the day in Pittsburg with heart health checkups and some testing. Came home with a monitor- seems to be routine. Stress test upcoming- Ho-hum.

We finally had a good rain the other day (yay) but it came with wind and a very large limb came down in the back yard (boo). Time to locate the handy dandy chainsaw

Done for the day and a good night to all.

Completely understandable. "Trying to find gravity," is what I called this period after my husband died. It lasted for a long time.

We're glad to have you back.

154.3, stalls persists after all! I thought I would stay down!

We ignored any trick or treaters that rang the doorbell, thankfully it wasn't many. Our lights were off which should indicate we were not participating but can't blame the little ghosts and goblins from trying. We ended up eating out at the Olive Garden and I had the Minestrone soup (very salty), salad and 1/2 a breadstick. Maybe a little water retention from the salt affected the scale this morning.

Boring day today. Costco and regular grocery store run. We feed the dogs raw food (burger, pork and chicken) so I had to grind up all but the burger for them (Bella only has 2 teeth remaining). Kids still visiting but plan to leave Sunday morning I guess.

Too early to tell about the effectiveness of the shot from the new compounding company. I heard semaglutide is probably going to get off the shortage list too. Makes me a little worried about what my options will be.
