HVD, as some of my students used to say... I can't remember when, but at some point during my teaching career acronyms became the thing... HVD, FOMO, YOLO, LOL, LMOA, DD, DS, and the like...

I completed three good workouts this week. I'm pleased with that. Great session with the NUT therapist yesterday.

New obsession: following a plastic surgeon out of NYC on YouTube. The guy is honest to a fault and is not a surgery pusher. He also does celebrity comparisons over the years and speculates on what procedures they may have had and the costs.

I bought a few V neck workout Ts. They are sooooo comfortable and don't wrinkle and double as casual wear so, which makes running errands and fitting the gym in before or after really convenient. But I discovered yesterday at the gym the cut of the shirt does not hide my skin roll at the pant line or the extra fat under my arms on the chest wall. I began to feel self conscious.... Boooo.... Funny how we can be so hyper aware of our "faults". I bet I am the only one *****ally notices these things, too.

Have clients in a few, so I must be off....

Edit: Oops.... 201.7

119.8 - up .6 due to eating wonderful tapas for lunch yesterday. We returned to the place we went to in Key West last week. So good! I wish we had a place like that near our home.

We also returned to a bar we had been to last week because the same female singer was there. A lot of regulars were present specifically to hear her. Tons of local talent in the Keys, but it makes sense as it is such a cool place to live.

No more deer views since we are leaving in a couple of hours. I am sad to go but looking forward to being back home tomorrow. We drive to Captiva this morning probably arriving early afternoon. Tonight we are going to an iconic restaurant called The Bubble Room for Valentines Dinner. It doesn't take reservations so I expect we will have to wait quite a bit. Maybe we should do the early dinner thing again? I wouldn't mind as I have been wide awake since 4 am so expect to be tired tonight.

Have a vibrant Valentine's Day!

Leopard hat lady sounds like quite a character. People watching can be so much fun!

Spring sure is early in your part of the country.

117.6 , another new low! I do think I'm a bit dehydrated though so may not be true numbers. Tried harder to drink more today and I didn't worry about calories one bit!

Fun day! Started out with water aerobics, ran some errands, met my friend at a tiki bar this afternoon. They were supposed to have live music but their hired gig was a no show! We had perfect seats with a perfect view of the water, shared a ahi tuna appetizer and chatted up a storm. I had a pina colada and it was yummy! Her condo was very close to the tiki so we went there and then took e bikes over the bridge to downtown Fort Myers and went to a really fun art gallery like place with lots of different vendors. I didn't see any photographers there but it was much more upscale than the antique places I have been checking out! I bet vendor rent at that place is pretty pricey! I think I will go back with DH though, I saw a piece I really liked (quite expensive) and some clothes I liked but they didn't have any in a small size. I guess they restock fairly often though.

Leftover Tuscan shrimp over fettuccine from last night's dinner for dinner tonight. Still have not cooked or watched tv since DH left. I pick him up at the airport tomorrow night!

Isn't it awesome when others notice the weight loss? Hopefully if you all need to reprimand the leashless dog walker, they take it well. You are right though, rules are rules and if you bend for one others will expect the same. Good policy to keep everyone safe as most dogs are not so highly trained!
