It's great that DH lost weight his way. The toughest part though ALWAYS, is maintaining it. That's so hard to do white knuckling it when the cravings start. Maybe he will succeed at that also. I sincerely hope he does, as he's worked hard to get here. People do. I was not one of them. So absolutely no apologies from me for using whatever tools are available. You are maintaining with a fairly low dose of a medication that also brings beneficial side effects like inflammation reduction. Seems like a wise choice.

DH hung a bird feeder near the porch for my viewing pleasure. The cardinals arrived and are lovely. The &%$# chipmunk and squirrels, not so much. Over half the food is gone this morning. I suspect chipmunk filling their greedy little pouches. One just had the nerve to run across the porch right now! How dare they! Bird feeder may need to be relocated. I don't care if they eat most of the bird seed, but why do they have to run by my chair?

DH and I a very nice time last night. The weather was perfect. The band wasn't outstanding, but good enough for a fine summer night in a beautiful park. On the way back to the car we stopped at a bar in a Brazilian steakhouse and had a Caipirinha, a thoroughly Brazilian ****tail. Delicious. Tasted like sun and the beach. Their bar menu has small plates of some of the meats they offer for churrasco. Neither of us can eat the regular portions, but these little plates look very tempting. I think that's where we'll go for my birthday lunch on Sunday.

I invited some friends over for dinner in a few weeks, and my co-workers for a happy hour a different day. This means I need to actually do things like dust.

Trying to decide if I should go do my weights or go for a walk instead today. My walking mechanics are not good. Doing the resistance machines is making me stronger but it doesn't really work on stabilizing and balance. I know I could add the treadmill, but I feel like I need to practice on varied terrain so I can do some modest hiking in Scotland. I think weights will win out today, and maybe a walk tomorrow morning.

I haven't made Mexican lately - note to self. I did comment to DH that I miss the great New Mexican place we had been going to in Florida. Around this part of Cape Cod most of the restaurants are seafood places - for good reason but a little Mexican would be good.

I love that your DH and you seek out musical entertainment. We aren't as good at that.

And you are both truly saints in supporting BFF, but it does sound like she needs to have a bed or sleep sofa in her son's new condo.

I hope your weather improves soon!

Yep we posted at the same time. Great minds think alike. And yeah the food I crave most is Mexican. Just stopped at the farmers market for some tomatoes and sugar snaps. ds

We must have posting about the same time because your post wasn't there when I started mine. Good gracious! That glass artist and her demands! Crazy!

I find cheese to be the best medium for dispensing dog pills. American cheese works the best. I simply make a ball of cheese with the pill inside the middle. The dogs love cheese so they gulp it down without even realizing they are getting bamboozeld!
