Weight 120.2. Apparently pizza doesn't cause weight gain right now. Only kidding - I could only eat one large piece. Hard to be protein forward with this crowd though I am trying to fit in protein drinks. Maybe shrimp for dinner tonight?
Yesterday was another full day with the girls. Lots of bonding. DD's future MIL has been separated from her husband for several years but hasn't divorced him. He is living with another woman. Her daughter and the other young women were explaining the legal consequences of staying married (not to mention concerns about the emotional consequences). Lots of encouragement for her to move forward (especially from her own daughter who said she would help her make a plan). Also lots of drinking by some of them but I didn't have more than 2-3 glasses of wine over about 8 hours. I feel pretty good this morning.
Today the plan is to possibly go out on a pontoon boat, then to the beach club. Dinner probably at an outdoor place on the water in the downtown area which most of them haven't seen yet.
I have been driving the group in what I would call a maxi-van. I rented a minivan but ended up with a Lincoln Navigator. The thing is HUGE. I feel like a midget driving it.
Time to get bagels. Have a super Sunday!

That looks so peaceful.

Liz, your bachelorette weekend festivities sound like so much fun! Thanks for sharing some pics!
Im having a nice weekend in ND. Long day today dress and other shopping. We had to travel 3 hours to get to the dress shop and then 3 hours back home with lunch, mall shopping and a little Farmers market thrown in for good measure! I'll post pics on TT.
Weight? Who knows. Calories and protein have been on the low side but I feel good!
Fly home tomorrow. DH and the puppies are ready to have me back home!

Thanks for the info on reverse dieting. I'll have to look it up for sure!

Good idea, but I already take a Zyrtec daily for hives and don't have much in the way of allergies. The fever and swollen lymph nodes made me think infection. Doing so much better now!
I occasionally enjoy the archeological dig. I was sorting in a little used cabinet and found a wedding scrapbook I forgot I even made. Why were napkins with your names and date such an important thing in 80s weddings? I've got one glued into a scrapbook for prosperity.
I need to look into the reverse dieting - it seems to make sense.

Greetings all
It's sunny and nice after last night's huge rainfall. Odd for it to rain so much in the summer here. Oh well.
Spent some time at the studio and made a few items. Outside my window there they were drilling holes in the wall as part of the studio facelift. The usual suspects are lurking about.
Liz that party stuff looks fun. Great looking group. Glad it worked out in spite of peculiar driver. Wishing more successful activities.
Sinus CC. Hate that. Are you sure it's not allergies? Take a Claritin and find out. Otherwise get well soon.
Peps the reverse diet idea sounds good. I do believe something about dieting messes metabolic rate. Dr. Cirangle thought so too. Anyway sounds like you are making it work. And say goodbye to the Goat for all of us. What is the replacement? Plenty of ways to do dog shows.
Lizanne. Sending good energy. We are thinking of you.
I felt so crappy after yesterday's overeating that I napped and did not eat dinner. Feeling much better today. Just proves that occasionally skipping a meal is no big deal. Hamburgers tonight.
DH is watching a creepy old movie. Not my thing but oh well.
Bonnie I hear you on the arrangeing. Not easy. My next target is the linen closet. It's completely stuffed with I don't know what. I am sure there is stuff in there for animal rescue and thrift store. There are likely boxes of kleenex purchased years ago that got pushed to the back. It will be sort of an archeological dig.
