Happy Sunday! Another glorious, clear blue sky day! I may even wear shorts today. I'll have to wear a sweatshirt, or hoodie, but my legs can handle the cool weather. The upper body, no so much!

210.7 - hmmm one day without a workout and I drop practically 2 pounds. Hoping to start the work week back in the 209 range.

I didn't do too much yesterday. I did get Bug completely groomed. She is starting to look like a big girl, but she's still very much a puppy.

I am not a fan of the time change either. I attribute my growing dislike of the time change to my age. It takes me longer to adjust now than it used to. I used to have no issues with the change either way. Now I seem to be aware that something is off and it takes me a few days to get in the new groove. Example: it's 11:30 and I am "forcing" myself to eat something before it gets too late in the day.

I will soon have to decide what chore I should do to occupy my day. I've wasted a good 3 hours doing nothing, but catching up with friends. My guilt says I should be productive, but my leisure brain says, "Enjoy!"

121.1 - up probably because we had steak again last night. I don't really enjoy having it that often (every few weeks would be fine for me), but DD loves it so that is what DH planned on and cooked.

DH was really good at keeping DD's visit a secret. We actually did have something scheduled today which we would have had to cancel last minute but luckily the event was actually cancelled. Today we are going to the beach, playing bocce, then out to dinner at the beach club. DD and SIL leave around 9 tomorrow morning.

But first the bus leaves for breakfast at 7:30. Have I mentioned that I hate the time change? It is 7:20 right now and not fully light yet.

Have a sunny Sunday!

More retirement practice (like Peps) ;)

Ok, me again. I have been out and about and got dog food, did my walking at the gym and went to the studio. Finished uo a few things. But before I went out I started lentil soup in our new slow cooker. The old one had a broken handle and tried to scald you every time you opened it. So we shall see how this new one works. Just vegetables and lentils. Maybe toss in a can of tomatoes in a bit.

Sounds like all are having a good Saturday. DD your "rounds" sound pleasant. Any good bargains?

Peps any weight uptick for you is muscle!! You have been a gym rat all week!

Paula more people need to take character building classes. A good thing.

Well I got some of my list done today. But the day is not over.

Liz, I can feel your joy! And sometimes you just need to be able to hug them and gaze at them, especially when there are health concerns. What a fun weekend you'll have! How did DH manage to keep your calendar open this weekend without making you suspicious?

Thursday night we had a nice evening g at the last of our Pub Nights for the season. It was a long day though. I left the house at 7am, and didn't return until 9:30 pm. I worked, then conferences, then straight to the venue where I met up with DH and our friends.

Yesterday I used a sick day to meet with the Surgical Weight Loss clinic I use. If they prescribe Wegovy, they want to see you every 6 months. They do order bloodwork frequently, and follow ups if something looks wonky. Like 6 months ago my copper was high, so they wanted to check it again, a d yep, now normal. I like the monitoring, but it can get expensive, since I have a 20/80 plan. Expense off set by the fact that I pay about $27 a month for my prescription.

After my medical appointment, I drove out to my niece for my hair appointment. Feeling fresh. :)

Today we went for coffee, cruised St. Vinny's and now we're home. There are many chores I could do but I started a book last night I must finish. I am very unmotivated lately, both at home and work. I don't think the spring forward is going to help energize me!
