I am in a mood about weight loss! It's okay and I am not seeking consolation or commiseration, just voicing here cuz I think y'all get it.
I have reached that God awful stage of weight loss where I have to deal head on with the eating disorder garbage to continue to lose weight. That means for me I have to start making emotionally uncomfortable choices. And because I am not calorie counting or tracking grams of macros (other than loosely tracking protein intake to make sure I'm close to 100 grams per day), the choices have to be made. In the long run, this is a good thing. In the short term, IT SUCKS!
This type of issue brings out my inner Varuca Salt. Because I was "good" yesterday and had to make a hard choice, my inner petulant child wanted and expected a significant drop in the scale this morning. No such luck!
I also want to lose about 35 more pounds. Not sure if that is realistic. Logically, yes it is. Emotionally, physically, I'm not so sure. I have to drop at least 25 so I'm securely under 200. I will not be satisfied being over 200. Muscles or not, I really don't think I should weigh more than 200 for my height. (Remember top of the healthy BMI range for me is 159.)
Anyhow, that is where I am today... Other than that I'm busy with dog grooming and getting pics of the RV so the listing agent can get them posted!
Satisfying Saturday to one and all....
My BFF is no longer married, and her boyfriend is too infirm and broke to travel. I know that she is always on the lookout for travel partners, because she also likes sharing the adventure. I've noticed there are some tour groups that specialize in solo travelers specifically for women. In my experience, there's always been some people on every tour whose company I enjoy. And of course the few you learn to avoid quickly! Maybe something to look into?
No time change sure would be nice!
While your friends' 'round the world travel sounds amazing, the first thing that came to mind for me was the cost. I can only imagine what a trip like that would run considering what I paid per person for our upcoming European river cruise. ACK!!!!!

No time change here! Best thing about Arizona...
I have errands to do today, but that's all. Tomorrow is a chance of rain and a high of 48. My no heat days have come to an end!
My friend Cathy and her husband are on an around the world nearly month long National Geographic trip on a private plane with 75 total people. She texted this morning to say it's incredible! The first pics were from Machu Picchu... These are the moments I think it would be nice to be married and have a built in someone to do wild travel things like that with. I could go alone, but a good bit of the fun is in sharing the experience!
Anyway, off to pick up toy stuffing... take care!
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.
