My high weight for the week is usually Friday, too. Not sure if it's related to the school week and availability of "free food" at school, or if it is because shot day is Thursday, or if it's a combination of the two. Either way, today was my high for the week: 206.0 That's up 2.5 from Monday.

So, when I gain weight for no real rhyme or reason my disordered thinking starts to kick in. I generally get one of two messages. One is, "Well, F it! Might as well eat what you want. Doesn't seem to matter what you do." The other is, "Cut back. Cut waaaay back. You don't need to eat. Just get in enough protein and starve during the day and leave enough spare calories for ice cream. Remember, keep those calories LOW!" Today I was gifted the F It message. LOL! I actually prefer the starvation message, but it seems to depend what's going on in my life.

Yesterday, BFF irritated the bejeebers out of me. I was pissed when we hung up. He was ready to cancel his entire trip this summer because I was not going to be available to pick him up from the airport when he returns. Yes, I had told him I would, but I had an opportunity to make a trip to Ohio with a friend for a 5 day dog show at which one of my good friends will judge. I jumped on the opportunity and figured it would be no big deal. You'd think I had promised his first born child to the gypsies! He told me I caused his whole trip to go to **** Can you say rigid and tantrum? His lack of flexibility and extreme anxiety are wearing thin for me. Plus, he refuses to seek psychological help. "It's just the way I'm wired," is the all encompassing excuse. So.... being frustrated and peeved led to less than stellar eating yesterday. Non planned food included the following: 2 brownie bites, 1 home made cheddar jalepeno cornbread muffin (delicious!!!!), a cafeteria "healthy" strudel courtesy of the lunch lady (she leaves me treats while I'm on yard duty - DD should understand this), and a few spoonfuls of ice cream that were not part of the plan.

Exercise has been great this week. I've upped weights and added a few new moves to start sculpting body parts and hopefully filling up some loose skin in the chest area. The belly skin I'm hoping to just get as deflated as possible.

Ron's Easter hell has begun. It actually starts for him on Wednesday with the final choir rehearsal before all the masses start. Last night was Holy Thursday service, today i have no idea how many masses he will do for Good Friday. Tomorrow is the Easter Vigil. Sunday I think he is doing only 2 masses, but by then he will be utterly exhausted. It will take him half the week to recover. Historically he falls asleep Easter Sunday afternoon - no matter where we are or where he's sitting. One year he even fell asleep sitting at the picnic table in my brother's backyard before we were done with Easter lunch.

29 more work days.

Those look really nice CC!

I did some of these in my last house: https://mirrormate.com

Probably less expensive to have it done by someone working on the bathroom, but great for a DIY update to a bathroom! They just stick on.

120 - funny, it always seems like Friday when I officially record my weight is a bit heavier than the other days of the week. It is the day after my shot so maybe it doesn't kick in for an extra day? Who knows - my weight has been pretty stable (within 3 pounds) since mid-August of last year when I went back into maintenance mode.

The weather is gorgeous here right now. Warm and sunny with a nice breeze. Justice has been happy as a clam since we got back. Lots of walks please him. We have been doing a good length after dinner walk lately since the time change and he really enjoys that.

Yesterday I enjoyed playing golf with the ladies but still didn't do well. I haven't improved much since January. I need more lessons but don't want to take them now and waste them as I am unlikely to play much during the summer and will probably forget what I learn if I don't use it right away.

I decided I want to lighten up our master bath which has no natural light. The woman who had the place 2 owners ago was an "artist" whose specialty is making the walls be art. She put texture in the paint of almost every room (think sandy). She also used grey almost everywhere with a lot of it in dark tones. The bathroom has a mural over the bathtub which would be nice if it was uplifting but I find it very ominous and dark (see below). Our guy is coming Monday to look at it and talk about what to do - while we are not here in the summer. I don't know how he can prep the walls for regular paint. Sand them? I also want molding around the mirrors on the bathroom walls which look like frames (I did that at my for Florida place) and I want to swap out a couple of lights including putting a sort of chandelier over the bathtub to add light in the room. Reading Ann's recent posts got me motivated LOL.

Today is yoga, then beach club. Probably Happy Hour tonight with dinner possibly at the beach club again. Who knows? This is the last somewhat busy weekend in Florida with Easter on Sunday.

Have a flipping Friday!

Your DH is truly a gem! What fun the 2 of you will have in retirement.
