Congrats on a healthy check up and fixed up hair. That boutique opening sounds really fun and a good chance to catch up and reminisce. Yay wedding! They must really like dogs!

This week has been even worse. My tracking spreadsheet is littered with red and orange. I had one nice day after the migraine and then started to feel sick with some head cold. Food has been relegated to comfort foods and whatever DDG puts in front of me. Plus our kitchen is getting painted on Monday so DDG has been working diligently to get some things packed up so it's out of the way. The stove has been covered in piles of dishes for me to sort. There was some Domino's. I've been working from home since Thursday so activity levels are at a low. We have some things planned for Saturday so hopefully I'll be feeling up to them. I hope you all are having a wonderful week and all your goals are just sliding into place.

I'm finding it difficult to update routinely and I'm not sure why. But catching up now. Definitely hit some hiccups last week. Wednesday was a food day at work. I had a good weigh in that morning and felt motivated to be reasonable.. but then there were cheesy potatoes and bacon wrapped lil smokies, and 3 kinds of cake. It was far from reasonable. But dinner plans changed that night so I just had a banana. Then started getting a migraine Friday but what busted the deficit goal was leftover banana cake and some treats that a customer dropped by. The migraine does make decision making more difficult. The migraine lasted through Saturday with a hangover lasting until Monday. We grilled a bunch of meats the Sunday before and had yummy leftovers all week, burgers, brats, and some chicken. Saturday we went to a concert (Hairball - an 80's rock cover band). We had plans to meet up with DDGs brother for dinner but I spent most of the day sleeping off the migraine so our dinner plans never materialized. DDG and I just grabbed some fast food philly subs for dinner. Mostly got all fitness in. We had an extra walk planned for Friday and migraine hadn't presented itself but I could tell I just wasn't up for it so we skipped it.

Grape and blue raspberry! I hope you really enjoy the break and feel restored in the fall.

I bet it was well worth it too. 🌴🌞

It certainly seems to work like that in reverse. I faceplant a pizza? - gain 10 pounds. Have some ice cream - another 7. It would be only fair.

Starting weight 261.4 W1 3/25: 261.2 (-0.2) W2 4/1: 258.0 (-3.2) W3 4/8: 256.4 (-1.6) W4 4/15: 255.6 (-0.8) W5 4/22: 255.0 (-0.6) Down again but continues to slow down. Food day at work Wednesday was a disaster. I had a really good weigh in the morning of and I was super motivated to just be reasonable... I did manage a 15 hour fast before eating anything but once I started eating it was all so good that I was far from reasonable. At least dinner out that night got cancelled. Weight jump wasn't as bad as I had feared but it's been slow to recover since plus a migraine over the weekend. This coming week brings another dinner out and some extravagances over the weekend to manage.

Well done! Love those non scale victories! And a banana! Boo. I hope you hear no news or good news by the end of the week!

Sounds like some smart changes. our bodies are dumb and just can't take a hint!

My dentist office has TVs on the ceiling above the dentist chair and they give you the remote. But then the hygienist gets all up in my face for some reason and blocks the TV! 😁

Maybe you need to bring a book and just go back to the doctor's office and sit and have a quiet read. I always like that my doctor's office has HGTV on and I can watch some home improvement show. Although I hate when I miss the big reveal.

Thanks for sharing the new song from Billy Joel. I grew up listening to him since he was one of my dad's favs. I had no idea there was a new one either. Great video too. I didn't watch it too closely (from work) but really enjoyed the montage scenes from him and his kids over the years.

Get those girlies smashed and photographed! Hope its..um.. relaxing?

Not a lie! The ladder was the scary part. Our ladder was a bit too long so it was barely angled so as DDG climbed it I had to lean against it to make sure it didn't tip back. Scary!

That seems like it will be worth the wait!
