Inquiring minds want to know!

What about adding some flexibility and posture goals. I've always been a bit lax with posture issues-not sitting upright and walking head down and shoulders forward. My muscle memory is resistant to changing and just a few minutes after making an adjustment, I'll find myself back in the same poor position again. This habit is not going to be easy to overcome.

LOL. Currently DH is letting me baby him a bit because I want to. But yes, he fits neither category. He's definitely not a difficult sick person. When he was younger, he was the go hide kind of sick guy, but now he is pretty much in the middle of the spectrum.

Here's to Molly's fecundity!

Which brings to mind the question I've often wondered ... How many generations of your doggies have you bred?

There are some of us who do not fit into either category, thank you very much!

"Wow DD, you have the quote of the year 'I don't have to set myself on fire to keep them warm.' So true."

LOLing at the therapist's question.

Our recent conversations here are quite interesting and helpful to me. It's always good to realize my peculiarities aren't that peculiar after all.

More tomorrow, but for now I'm enjoying my evening whiskey after a very productive day. Then I'm going to microwave a Healthy Choice frozen dinner and hit the hay early.

But before I go, I truly appreciate each of you, your sharing, your support, and for being here 10+ years. As online relationships go, this is pretty rare and wonderful.

Molly was bred this morning and will be bred again tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed.

Weight is back down where I believe it should be. However, I do need to lose 3 plus pounds to make my next mini goal. I am on the fence about upping my dose. I'd really like to lose at least 10 more pounds before upping the dose. A young woman I know who has lost over 100 pounds using the compounded tirzepatide told me that she used that last upped dose to lose her final 20-25 pounds before her wedding day. So, if I lose another 13 pounds before switching that will get me to goal weight area, IF what she experienced is the same for me. Who knows when the meds seem to affect everyone somewhat differently!

I need some new fitness/functional goals. The main functionality goals I had I have met: moving more easily, tying shoes with ease, sleeping better, even cutting toenails is doable now. Maybe a cardio goal? I'm not sure...

Thoughts of retirement keep me going. I'm quite excited at the thought of not dealing with all the BS next year. Some of it is silly stuff, but some of it is annoying as hell, e.g. presenting one thing publicly, but doing the opposite once no one is watching!

Wicked Wednesday! (New England Wicked or traditional - take your pick!)
