Definitely way better to be sore from the exercise!

I'm baaack! I've read everything I missed -- retirements, parents, kids, gardening, holidays, doggies, beaches, exercise.
We had a great time in North Carolina last weekend. More delays still for moving furniture in. Trying to diagnose a stubborn shower issue. Worst case scenario is we have to rip out the shower wall and redo the inside-the-wall plumbing. Soooo frustrating.
No big weekend plans. I'll probably make 3 trips both days to Lowe's or Home Depot.
Oh, and I started rehab to improve my knees' flexion. Therapist is aggressive in the good way. I'm sore from the exercises, but not from arthritis, which is good, eh?

LOL! I always rely on The New York Post for all my peer-reviewed nutritional research findings!

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.
