158.3. Down a bit!
Busy last few days. Came home from our Door County trip a bit early. DC1 was watching the pups and thought they got into their chocolate. Crisis averted I guess because neither of them showed symptoms of toxicity.
Spent yesterday and today getting ready for a craft show I'm doing tomorrow. I'm afraid it might be a bust. Only 12 vendors (a bunch dropped out last minute) and it doesn't look like they advertised it very well. At least some of the other vendors seemed interested in my stuff during set up!
5' 4" tall, HW: 242, SW:215.4 Weight Loss - pre-op: - 26.6, M1: -15.4, M2: -16, M3: -11.4, M4: -11.2, M5: -12.2, M6: -7.4, M7: -7.8, M8: -2.0 Goal of 130 lbs. reached at 8 months, 2 days post-op!
That's it, then.....I uses the (now and forever to be) greater and lesser characters. And I was so proud of myself for finding them in the first place Go figure

Good luck on the negotiations! With your smarts and wit and lawyer skills, I bet you can win him over.
Definitely still hot here. The NWS was calling it Hotober...

100% agree about helping suffering Americans before sending money abroad.
Greetings all
Early check in for me. I have gallery duty this afternoon and may not get logged on later. It's sunny and nice and hopefully will be a good gallery day. A representative of our landlord is stopping by to negotiate the lease with me since no one else will do it. They want a pretty stiff increase so I gotta beat that down. Wish me luck.
Liz your home is so lovely I can see why you have some emotions. I sometimes miss my 3x bigger house we used to live in but remind myself of all the maintenance it took and all the work it took to get out of there. You have such a great place in Florida. Enjoy your digs! And you are rocking weight.
CC still so hot in AZ. Hoping for cool soon. RIP dog toys. I cannot think of any way to recycle that stuff. We get the no stuffing toys these days after years of cleaning up fuzz.
Good on you Bonnie on a good check up. Yep eat your protein. Enjoy the new home.
DH is at lunch at a mexican place so likely leftovers for dinner.
Got a call from our hotel in Marin yesterday. They are having some big repairs so there might not be ho****er for our stay. LOL. They will give us a big discount if we stay anyway so I said ok. Do not want to be looking for other places there as I am terrified of bay area driving these days. This place I know as I have been to this doctor many times. DH got our printer working again so I can print out instructions. I hate relying on GPS and need to know in my head where we are and where we are headed. Quaint? Maybe but gotta know. Years ago I drove all around San Fran exploring by myself lots of times but now it's just too scary. So be it.
Not much else. I am still in pjs. Maybe will consider getting dressed.

Weight up another pound today. While not what I want, I'm okay with it. I woke up already a little sore from yesterday's workout, so I know I'm retaining fluid for muscle repair. I have a feeling the SORE is going to hit tonight. Tomorrow may not be at all pretty for the hamstrings!
Shot has kicked in. I'm eating lunch because I have to, not because I want to. Orderly Meds was supposed to send out an option to buy several months of meds in advance this week. I have not yet gotten a notice of ability to be able to do that. I will absolutely buy several months in advance to keep my supply! Right now it is an essential part of my arsenal!
I am getting to that point of really feeling good in my skin. Sure, lots of weight to still lose, but I feel "Un-obese" now. Just overweight. I'm teaching my little ones a dance this week and it sure is easier to move around and teach them the moves. I don't feel cloddy and awkward.
I am really happy that Florida was not hit with the force anticipated. However, while that may be a relief, there are areas and pockets of damage that are catastrophic. I am in the camp of thought that all US dollars should be spent at home until Florida and the Carolinas are back in working and livable order. Is that short sighted of me? I don't know. But I sure don't like the idea of sending money to other parts of the world when I believe we should be taking care of our own and prioritizing our own citizenry. It irks me that I have a friend who can't get medicare to cover the only med that works for her rheumatoid arthritis, but we can send money to other countries to help them "win wars". Just seems wrong. Isn't the phrase "Charity begins at home"? Okay.... Rant over.
Well, my friends... I hope for us all to have fantastic Fridays filled with frolicking, fun and frivolity! (How's that for alliteration?!?!?!)
I have learned that there are specific characters that when used will erase everything that comes after it on teh post. I believe, the #, greater than and less than symbols are some of the culprits... so is the = sign if I recall...
Wow, weird.....warning...OH posting may be winky today. It has cut off fully half of my post. No time to retype at the moment....

I get the mixed feelings over leaving a memory filled home. Smile and say thanks.
Yesterday was my 6 months check up. (The chart showed my weight at 189 in April). Feeling pretty good about that. Labs came back non-concerning save being a wee bit anemic. Dr only mildly interested in the lower than necessary weight (after being assured that I wasn't purposefully trying to lose). Left with instructions to continue protein forward followed by eating more frequently with goal to gain weight and maintain at about >135
