Back in CA after a fun, wet and cold weekend in the Tacoma, WA area. Sadly, planes were delayed and I did not get back to CA until 12:20 AM. By the time I got home it was 1:30 AM. Took a while to settle the dogs and unwind. Didn't get to bed until almost 3 AM. UGH... Needless to say, I decided it would be best to be "sick" today. I found a good sub last night while waiting in the Seattle airport and booked her.

Weight is stable. I didn't eat a lot over the weekend, but I didn't eat low cal. Had a magnificent shrimp boil Saturday night. I haven't had a boil done quite that way before. I'm not exactly sure how it's done, but the food arrived in a big plastic bag with the seasonings and butter all hot and melted. I ordered the headless shrimp, but they were still in the shell - so sweet and beautifully firm! No silverware was brought to the table. All finger food - even the boiled potatoes! Lots of napkins, plastic gloves if wanted, and wipes!

I had a good/honest session with nutritionist on Friday before the trip up to WA. In a nutshell all the "issues" I have with the remaining weight are eating disorder related. Not sure how I will move forward at this point, but I will figure it out. I'm kind of at the one day at a time phase of this process. A bit disappointing, but understandable (at least to me).

Glad everyone seems to have had a good weekend. Liz, I continue to think good thoughts for a positive outcome for your DD.

Not much else....

LOL! I just fixed the days!

Yes, these are friends of ours in our community. The couple who coordinated the trip are our closest friends in Florida. They have been in BVI previously when they first met so started the idea of doing this together last summer.

I could eat shrimp every day and well as most other types of seafood! It is my protein of choice for sure!

Sounds like your nephew and wife's baby has intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), which sometimes can be caused by an abnormality of the placenta. Happened to a coworkers baby, he did just fine!

Happy St Pat's Day! If I had been born a day later my name would be Patricia. That was the deal between my parents. My mother wanted Patricia and my father wanted Elizabeth. Because my mother had named their prior child, my father got first dibs unless I had been born on the 17th.

Yesterday was another day out of a dream. We were mostly at Jost Van Dyke Island in the afternoon stopping at a few local bars. We met the owners at Soggy Dollar because they are friends of people we know in Florida, then went to a bar with no one else there where you make your own drink however strong you want it and pay them when you leave - all honor system. The food was amazing again. DD did like the grilled Mahi Mahi and salad for lunch as well as the tagliatelle carbonara for dinner followed by a coconut birthday cake. At least breakfast and lunch were quite healthy with the fish.

This is a small boat: A 64 foot catamaran with 4 cabins. There are 2 decks to hang out on and lots of sunning locations. We are on the boat with 2 other couples from Florida, a captain, steward, and a chef. Truly a trip of a lifetime. We spend the days in bathing suits and coverups. No shoes anywhere - not on the boat or at the bars on shore.

Our cabin is in the drawing below on the bottom right side. All cabins are en-suite with a small shower and lots of cabinets/drawers. The couple who arranged this are in the bigger suite with the bathroom open to the room and a larger shower. Our room is fine for us.

Have a lucky St Patrick's Day!
