118.6 - I decided to just stick with the floor scale here. And I don't need my glasses to read that one LOL.
I think Peps leaves for his trip tomorrow! So exciting.
We had our usual day yesterday. I didn't go to chair yoga because I had the time wrong but I did go to water aerobics for the 5th day in a row. I am glad to have a break over the weekend. He really works your arms and shoulders. I didn't realize that my muscles needed so much work. Some of the people were glad their vacation was over so they could rest. I will do it this week again. Then I have to figure out how to continue with it.
Last night we went to a new Italian place. Italian for the 3rd time this week - ever noticed that there are tons of Italian restaurants these days? This one had a beautiful view and good food at a much more reasonable price than the other 2. May be our new go to place here for Italian food. DD likes another one really close to our resort but we don't like it at all. Somewhat glad we aren't going to be going there with her this year (we have already planned the nights we are overlapping).
Today is more hanging around. Our friend's daughter and her family arrive mid-day. Our friend is likely on the beach carving a welcome sculpture right now. Tonight DH and I are going to an old-fashioned restaurant which has been considered one of the best in Aruba for years. Papiamento has been open for 42 years.
Time to get moving a bit and get ready for walk time. I am missing having our jaunty little guy walking with us. Have a sweet Saturday!

Yay for leftovers and not having to cook!

Seems like all the daily active people will be retired after next week!
I have bounced around mostly in a 2 pound band since last August. Depends on what I ate the day before (salty or not), the weather, and my bathroom trips.

It will be interesting to see if your summer sleep patterns become your year round pattern. I find that the sun rising has a big effect on me - I rarely can sleep later than that. However in the winter when the sun rises later I still get up around 6:30 even though I hate doing so in the dark. 7 seems indulgent to me LOL.
I bet the next time you have a day when you eat a lot more than you are now your body will suddenly shed some more weight. It's probably holding on for dear life in case you are being starved.

Greetings all
Foggy morning turned into a sunny afternoon. I ran out of claritin and DH was kind enough to go get some as soon as the pharmacy opened. My sinuses are in overdrive these days and I am thinking I might need to see the allergist or ent doctor. Yuck.
So after a snuffly morning I got organized and did walking and ran various errands. Paula I sent your slug!
Interesting Liz that the butterfly farm was so hot. I went to a butterfly garden in Mexico once - I think it was at Xcaret (sp?). It was wonderful and pretty big with little waterfalls and mist and yeah it was hot. And hey, we used to watch all the planes come in here as the flight path is just east of our house, but the trees are getting too big. If I was expecting a guest I jus****ched out the window to know when to go to the airport. Enjoy you friends.
Peps I swear your scale is messing with you. And have a great trip.
Paula those are high priced cakes!! Who knew. Everything is so pricy these days. Have a great party.
DD I am with you - a lounger by nature. But soon you will indeed feel much lighter. Nice that your DD "shares" lots. We are eager to hear if there is date #3.
Gallery duty tomorrow and my car is loaded with boxes of paper bags and supplies. I am hoping I can get the other worker to carry them in. It will likely be busy up there. I got caught up on banking but there will be more tomorrow.
DH brought home pizza from lunch so that is that.

124.6 on my scale. I'm staying pretty consistent within a pound which is what one wants during maintenance!
Started off the day with a walk with DH. 2.4 miles on 39 minutes. Moving is good for both of us!
We have a retirement party to attend tonight. It will be at a park and they are having it catered (Mexican I think) and having a band. Very cloudy today and temps only in the low 70's but at least no rain.
DSD and DS2 and friend will be getting here later this evening. DS3 is still here until tomorrow night. We will all go out to a fancy restaurant tomorrow night for a belated birthday celebration for DC1. They wanted a cake from a boutique bakery here in town but a small 6 inch one is over $40 and we would need 2 to feed the crowd. I opted to go get them a slice (still over $14) and will serve brownies and/or dilly bars to the rest of the crowd!
Will everyone here be retired soon then? I don't remember anyone else still working!
