Your dinner and after dinner plans sound wonderful, something my DH and I would enjoy!
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!
131.4. Around the same! Tried on at least 30 pairs of pants to see what fits, what I want to keep, toss or donate. I have entirely too many clothes. A lot of them were work dress pants that I don?t need so much anymore. I will keep a handful of them but the donation bag is going to be big. I have quite a few pairs of jeans that are quite blingy (think big rhinestones) that I will be getting rid of. Some pants are still a bit too tight and I don?t really care to be that small again, so they too will go in the donation bag. I might save a few pairs of the work pants for DSD to sift through since she mentioned that she will need to dress business casual once done with her Doctor of Nurse Practitioner schooling. I won?t be offended at all if she doesn?t like or want them, I?ll just add to the donation pile. I?m anywhere from a size 0-4, depending on style and brand. DSD and I are built completely differently, she is small and narrow on top, has a super tiny waist and has a booty and athletic thighs. I?m super broad on top with wide shoulders and a big rib cage, waist will be thin after tummy tuck but for now I have quite the Mom pooch with the extra skin, and my hips are quite narrow with a non existent booty right now! All that to say, my old clothes might not even fit her body type!
Trying my best to not go out in this frigid cold but I need to pick up mushrooms for the sausage soup I?m making for dinner. The plan was to go on the treadmill but right now the protein bar that gives my tummy trouble is doing it?s job. I was feeling a little backed up so it isn?t a bad thing but I don?t want to be too far from the loo and for sure not jostling around on the treadmill at the moment.
DC1 has been hanging out here daily and even spent the night the last 2 nights. Has a counseling appointment today which will be good!
DH is getting increasingly more antsy to be done with work as his retirement date gets closer and is getting increasingly more jealous that I?m not trudging into work on the daily! I really don?t blame him!

Good plan!

And at this point you can still probably easily count the number of rounds you've played in total! Golf is hard. And you are brand new to it. He needs to stop mentally comparing you to himself who has been playing for a long time.
I sure hope you can get some sheltered sun today - the sun is bright here but the wind is howling. But way better than -35. Dinner sounds like fun!

Thanks for letting me not feel over sensitive. DH does tend to get very competitive at times. I keep having to remind him that I am only playing golf for fun and if it stops being fun there isn't much point in it as far as I am concerned.

Me too!

The predicted wind chill for Minneapolis was -35 today!!! Not sorry to miss that. Yikes. Last night sitting on the lanai, I thought starting next year, winters will be more like this! We won't escape every freezing day, but we can be away for lots of them. :) I hope the same for you!
I think your DH is a gem of a man, who gets competitive in sporting events and forgets that you actually getting out and golfing is a gift you are giving to him. I don't think you need to "hear the truth" about whether you played well or not. And if you did, what metric for measuring "well" should be used? Should you be expected to putt as well as someone who has played for years? I think not. Again, your DH is a very fine man, but in this case he is wrong and should be ecstatic you've agreed to put time and energy into learning golf.
Yesterday we managed to get some sun after all. The clouds broke up for a couple of hours right before noon. It was even warm enough to get in the pool and paddle a bit. I have my tanning routine: arriving all winter pale requires restraint to avoid a painful sun burn. Day 1 I set a timer on my phone, 10 minutes on each side without sunscreen. The rest of the day, suncreen. Yesterday, I allow 15 minutes per side, then slop it on. This usually allows me to get some color without burning. The air temps will be cooler today, maybe 70 degrees, but the sun will be warm.
We watched the Saturday Night Live special last night. It was too long, but also had so many great bits, I'm not sure what they could have cut. It was very fun to see all the celebrities who hosted the show over the years, and all the former cast members.
Tonight we have dinner reservations at one of our favorite restaurants in Disney Springs: Wine Bar George. If its not too chilly, we'll walk over to House of Blues to listen to some music after dinner. My favorite kind of plans. :)
No complaining about a 58 degree temperature when we have a - 18 degrees here (with windchill!)! Just kidding, I know it is all relative!
I would be hurt if DH said what your DH did. I also wouldn't like the coaching as you are about to take the shot, that would make me nervous too!
