Day 19 NZ FD 69.7kg🔺🏃🏼‍♀️

Y’day’s number was a blip!! I was starving when I woke up…
I had the Texan over and made a thick spicy bean soup and cornbread so I’m up and over on the weight front!! All will be revealed after today’s FD which is non negotiable!!
@iona72 I’m hooked on Waffle too… esp bad once I realised you can retry for the perfect solution…
What is RW&P??
We had a day of great rugby and rugby league here on Saturday. Black Ferns vs Canada was a tough exciting game ending in a 27 all draw…
Have a good day everyone!!

Day 19-No.VA USA-NFD
I am still here! Enjoying some lovely weather, puttering in the garden this weekend; had a dance recital to attend on Saturday out of town. It was amazing the energy of the girls (no boys this year for some reason). We attend due to young relative involved. Troupe is not that good, but I really feel the teaching is the problem; certainly the students have the potential. But anyway, all was good till the drive home, with some pretty bad traffic to contend with; unfortunately a problem here in Northern VA and near DC, as I am sure @ccco would attest to.
I hope everyone is well; it seems everyone is busy!
Off to work today! Not retired yet!

Day 19 – Rural Nebraska, USA – CD at the least, and perhaps less – 156.0

I have never hugged/been hugged so many times in one day as I was yesterday. The service was packed, everyone sang beautifully (a detail that always matters to an organist, of course), and the dinner afterward was a lovely time of visiting with people. There were some who showed up who astonished me (mostly from our congregation before DH went to seminary), and they were delighted to have surprised me, LOL. Then we came home and DSIL and DS33 loaded in the truck the little dorm fridge that we’ve been storing for DD, and then took the little dresser my dad made for my sisters and me when we were children, and that will all go home to Indianapolis with them. We spent the rest of the day in Lincoln at our new house, and I made Salmon with Creole Mustard Sauce, Maui Onion Rice, and a salad of broccoli, diced apple and carrot matchsticks with a (full fat, LOL) yogurt dressing. So, yes, two dinners, and then we walked two blocks to the ice cream store, but my portion was TINY.

And Friday’s dinner was absolutely glorious (yeah, @funshipfreddie, the prices are prohibitive for going very often, but we were given a $150 gift certificate last December), but I again ate very little; Saturday’s dinner was fried chicken, mac and cheese, and cole slaw (all purchased ready-prepared) but, again, I did eat large portions, and that was ALL I ate on Saturday. So being up roughly four pounds since my WF last Thursday has me puzzled. My best guess is that I’m up a bit because I’m no longer “empty” as I was on Friday morning, and I was up each morning because I ate so late in the evening all three evenings. Suppose?

So now the challenge is to figure out how to do 5-2 without the distraction of teaching piano lessons twice a week, making WFs easy–I don’t resume lessons until mid-June. It’s weird to consider doing a FD today since I’ve been doing Tues/Thur for so many years now, but it’s also logical since it’ll be a nice break from the full meals of the last three days. I’ll figure it out later.

I spent about five hours on Saturday unloading what I’d packed in my car, and putting away what had previously been taken to the house–it was absolutely tidy by the time I was done. (And then DD and her family arrived from Indianapolis around four o’clock, as they’d left at 5:15 that morning–that was the BEST part of the day! 😍😍😍😍😍) All told, I was up and down the stairs at the house about ten times on Friday and Saturday and Sunday, and my fitbit says I burned 2,000 calories or more on each of the three days. So, my activity plan for today is to be as busy as possible–which is not tough, given how much there is to pack up. Oh, and we have a moving date: on Thursday, May 29, a moving company will come to move our piano, a safe, and all the big, heavy furniture.

I just spent some time looking at the Facebook post from church of the service and of the dinner afterward, and decided this is as good a time as any to show pictures. So, here: https://www.facebook.com/stmatthewchurchcedarbluffs

Okay, some tidying is in order and then to start today’s packing effort. Have a grand one, everyone!
