Greetings all

Another sunny great day. I went to the gym late morning to do walking. Mr. Grunt Man was not there. TV was turned on to horse races which is something I can watch without sound and get it.

AFter that I did phone calls and then we watched our football game. Our team won. It was not pretty but I will take it. I have sort of had the munchies all day and want to eat cheese and crackers. Not good.

Tomorrow we have a zoom call with DH family. Nephew sent me a package that I am not supposed to open until that call. Ok, I will play. I think it's something to do with the money I gave them for IVF. Should be fun.

DH has been taking apart electronics. He takes all the electronic stuff out of the metal or plastic boxes so there is less e waste. A good idea but he is sure noisy! Sounds like a fork going down the garbage disposal.

Well DD enjoy Galveston! Nice beaches. Have fun. Still lizard weather I think.

Congrats Liz on being almost to the goal line on all projects. Yeah the buyer can take care of those things if you make it easy.

Peps is killing it at the dog shows! Yay Buster!!!

Tell us what things you try on the new stove Paula. Looking forward to details.

CC that chicken thing looks good. Nice find.

We are almost finished with the pizza which is good as I am sick of it. I need to go to some different store delis to find something interesting and healthy to eat. Plus the dogs demand their tribute.

I did get laundry done plus partial desk clean up. Give myself a B. Thats ok

Update on the easy protein search. Walking past the meat case, I saw these flavored uncooked ground chicken packs. Pretty basic ingredients (nothing weird), it cooked up fast, and was very tasty! I got the bruschetta flavored one and put a little mozzarella on it and put it in a low carb tortilla. They also had a fajita version. I will be getting more...


Ingredients: Chicken, tomatoes, basil, less than 2%: garlic, vinegar powder, salt, and rosemary extract.

Yes, those last 10 pounds are always most noticeable. And sometimes even after we are maintaining, weight shifts around and our appearance changes yet again.

We're flying to Houston, where my San Antonio BIL will pick us up, and drive us to the coast. We're staying at the most charming hotel, circa 1913. Really looking forward to it! Short trip though, we have a small fall break here in October. Basically a 4 day weekend.

Guys, I'm not being antisocial--just have nothing of import to report.

DD, I enjoyed your scones on Facebook. Calories were minimal. :)

Up early with Kirby cuddles. He pins me down laying on my chest in the morning and licks my hands until I can't take it anymore or he goes for my face, which I draw the line at.

Kirby and I walked before the heat sets in - still 18 degrees above normal here (awful). Then I loaded up the car and went to the annual hazardous waste drop off with electronics, liquids, and batteries. Then a stop at the grocery store for everything I forgot the last time. I think I'm going to make this if I'm not too hot (a/c helps to simulate Fall).

The scale was 182.4 today. My hairdresser was blown away yesterday and so complimentary of the weight loss. Funny that I'm only about 10 pounds less than when I left, but the last pounds are the most impactful.

Tile guys here again today. Sigh.

The zoom meeting went well yesterday. I hope that's settled soon.

I think that's all for now. Take care!

158.8 , I think (remembering what comes after the decimal point is hard!) Down a bit (for today) do that makes me happy!

New range will be delivered today! Yay! I think I read that the oven part even does air sous vide! I've never cooked anything sous vide before so I'll be checking out some recipes! I love a tasty challenge in the kitchen!

Dinner out with friends last night. I chose the shrimp ****tail with a side cheesy potatoes that I was only able to take a few bites of. Had a Reisling as well. We then went to a martini bar but I didn't partake. Last time we went there with these friends, I got sick as soon as we got home - way too much sugar for this VSG girl! Liquid sources of sugar just don't work with my sleeve. Dumping and puking ensue!

We leave for Door County on Monday. Highs will be in the high 50's to low 60's while we are there. Time to bundle up!
