My 2 younger children and DSIL arrived yesterday. We went out to dinner at a place I hadn't been to previously and the food was quite good. I thought I had made a reservation but it turned out that I made it for tonight not last night by mistake. Luckily they could fit us in. We had a fire in the pit out back afterwards but I was falling asleep in my chair by 10:30. I am still not fully on US East Coast time.
We are going to a somewhat well-known restaurant/bar on the beach called the Beachcomber today. DH likes to have t-shirts from there and his current one is falling apart. DD has never been there and requested specifically that we go. Because it is a popular spot and way off the beaten path you have to go early and often have to park at a remote lot and take a shuttle bus. Seems like a lot of effort to me but it's the thing to do around here. Tonight we are having lobster at the house and probably another fire. Hopefully I can stay awake longer. I did sleep more or less until 5 am which was better than the prior nights.
Have a sultry Saturday!

I had to look up who John Lewis was. Inspiring man - I need to look for the documentary about him.

I had a hard time walking with deceased DH too as he was a full foot taller than me so his strides were twice as long (at least it seemed that way to me). I felt like I had to run to keep up.

Ooooooh... just read that CBS is cancelling Colbert not due to competition, but due to Trump admin going after Paramount because of Colbert's monologues. Not good... Guess the screen writers guild is asking the FCC to get involved now.
Happy weigh in Liz, Justice and DH! Everyone did a 3 week vacation with great success!
Yep Peps, numbers can screw with our minds. I think I am still in the obese category. But now that I am a member of the I Do Not Care Club (have any of you seen these new internet reels? Some super funny stuff), well, I do not care. Not saying other people should not care, not at all. But I am surprised about all the things I have stopped caring about in the last year. I'd like to think it's because of some new enlightenment, but really, it's just that I am tired. :)
Speaking of tired, I have been lazing around reading. My sleep has been sketchy the last few nights, and it's still unseasonably cool and overcast to boot. I even took a delicious nap this afternoon. I'm going to continue with reading. I did start a hot dish in the crockpot. Oh, and for a snack, I cut up some veggies and made myself a personal veggie tray. It was good!
In honor of John Lewis, there is a "Good Trouble" rally tomorrow at our city hall. We are going to attend. John Lewis is an absolute hero to me, and I'm pleased to pay him tribute, and yes, maybe get up to some good trouble.
If Stephen Colbert wants to continue his career, I anticipate he will find another platform and I would imagine much of his audience will follow. I sure will. I fear the local news here that leads in his show will lose viewers. They'll lose us. That's why we choose them currently, because they lead into Colbert's show.
We are sad about the Late Show, too. CBS is apparently pulling the plug because they don't want to compete in that time slot any longer. Makes no sense to me, but what do I know. They cancelled Blue Bloods with high ratings and a cast that wanted to continue. Killed NCIS Hawaii because it was too costly - even though it had extremely high ratings. Instead, they spun off NCIS Sydney and split the cost with an Australian production company.
Greetings all
Lazing about on a cloudy morning. DH has gone to lunch with the Romeos at this bar that is a super dive but has good food. He usually brings home fish and chips. Microwave reheated fish and chips is not so great so I will stick to shrimp.
I have been gym absent a few days due to various chores but will get in there today for sure. Miss my Prince music. DH has been taking dog walks and he walks more distance than I do which kind of bugs me but I will do what I can do. I have short stubby legs and take about 3 steps for each one he takes.
So Liz congrats on no weight gain during the big trip. Ditto Mike. I am not surprised. Travel means more activity and less grazing opportunity. Good on you both. Wishing you the best on thyroid exam.
Peps you are definitely in the normal category. I can attest as I have seen you recently. One thing about size and body image I have observed is that those of us who are not tall may appear proportionately wider or heavier just cuz. We may inadvertently think we are wider because we are not taller. Another reason that BMI is not that important. So there.
Time to get out and about. I have eaten eggs on toast with some scraps left for dogs. On to the gym and studio.
I am in mourning because Stephen Colbert is being canceled. Boo Hoo.

I would say you are definitely normal as far as your silhouette is concerned. I really hate the BMI categorization. It just doesn't work for a lot of people. DH still has some small handles at his waist so looks like the overweight image there though his legs are quite slim. But he weighed in at 181 this morning - another loss even after our trip. His goal is 180 but he is starting to get the hungry horrors. I'm really glad that the tirzepatide pretty much keeps those away for me.
