Oh, Aphrodite has the most wonderful soft, supple texture - you have to touch her with your bare hands! I understand why people covet alligator shoes & handbags…
My sleep quality doesn’t appear to be great for last night, but I actually got up feeling fairly refreshed - where did my Deep Sleep go? I had a weird dream because I was sleeping in an awkward position - I dreamt my wrist was broken and I was looking for one of my old orthopedic surgery professors who I knew could pin it for me!!??!!
I’m a little irritated with hubby because I wanted to go out to dinner last night, which he declined. I offered to take him out for breakfast this morning & he declined again. I know relationships aren’t forged across the dining table, but I wish he’d be honest with me and just tell me what the hell is going on?

Oh dear. I understand about the hubby not talking. My ex never talked to me until he was drunk then he would call me every thing but a white person. Hence the ex part.
I can’t imagine an alligator being soft and supple. I’ll take your word for it.
I’m sorry to hear about your sleeping issues. I think that is the least amount of deep sleep I’ve seen between the 2 of us yet.
I hope tonight is better for you.0 -
Yeah, because of the plated appearance of their skin, one might think an alligator is armored like a tortoise shell, but even though they do have thick leathery skin, the texture as I said is very soft & supple. They are amazing ancient creatures, why mess with success after 8 million years of evolution**?? Crocodilians have been a great success until human beings came along, trying to hunt them into extinction & destroying their habitats!
Scales holding at 192; I’ve got to quit snacking on random junk but I did make it back to hot yoga yesterday. Here comes another busy workweek…
** the Wikipedia on alligators is a good comprehensive overview

Thank you for all the info on those reptiles. I am partial to gators & crocs. I think because of the movies. They fascinate me.

October 13th, Meals and Sleep.
Meals were good. Stay within my calories.
Sleep could have been better. Only 5 hrs and less than an hour of deep. I need to put some effort into my exercise routine I laid out for October. I haven’t been very good at it.

I’m afraid to look at last night’s miserable sleep - the dogs were barking at “something” at 2 AM, then I got to worrying about today’s packed schedule, but finally managed to doze off again until shortly after 6 AM.
My son sprung a big surprise on me which I need to blog about - he got V’s rings paid off!!! I’d been afraid to ask; he has been paying on them for over a year but hadn’t said anything about ‘em for months. (I had offered to sell my old rings to contribute but I haven’t had any luck - can’t imagine why no one wants tiny, mid-quality natural diamonds when lab-grown ones are a fraction of the cost?!?)

October 14th, Meals and Sleep
Meals were good stayed within calories
Sleep I thought would be better but even though I *kitten* the lights off before midnight it seemed to take me a while to fall asleep.
On the plus side my steps were good without trying.

192.6 this AM; I feel as if I could just get better quality sleep, all else would fall into place?!? I seem to go through mini 2-hr “nap” cycles which are exhausting as I toss n’ turn - also didn’t help that temperatures dipped, I got chilled but didn’t get up to grab a blanket - so I cranked up my bathroom heater to roast myself for a little bit before I bundled up to go down to the barn. I have increasingly less & less cold tolerance, not ready for winter!

October 16th, meals and sleep
Meals were good and under calories
Sleep says it was good but I don’t feel rested. I feel like I was dreaming all night

Congrats on ongoing weight loss!!! as well as “happy non-anniversary”, heh heh!
I cringe a little bit internally each year when May 25th comes around & I give a passing thought to “what might have been” if I had stayed with my abusive H1 (I was very young & foolish; this would have been Year 39 in an alternate-reality timeline)
Anyway, I piled the heavier blanket on my bed & slept fairly well last night - always a treat to disable my alarm…
That last precious hour or so of light sleep is when darling Izzy came upstairs to join me for some sweet snuggles 💕

Wow. Your sleep is way better than mine. I could only hope for something so good.1

And “just like that”, last night was not so great - where’d my REM & deep sleep go??!!?? 1 hr 11 min - no doubt because I have no earthly business going out of town for a ride this weekend! nevertheless, I console myself with self-justification that I don’t set the schedule, this may be our last chance to ride into the forest from Bo & Linda’s place. Both are facing health issues - they had canceled their long-standing 35 yr + hosting of this ride, but then Kerry gathered a crew and asked if they could take it over which B & L graciously allowed. I know I keep on declaring “carpe diem” until at some point I’m gonna be like the boy who cried wolf: in other words, Val doing what she wants! Which shouldn’t be the end of the world, should it?? As my nemesis is fond of declaring, “YOLO!”

Wow. I don’t think I have ever seen a sleep like that. I hope tonight is better0

October 18th Meals
Not much different than any other day. I have a tendency to eat beef or chicken wings. I was under calories though.

Yikes! my sleep last night was pretty damn good even though I have some guilt over abandoning my responsibilities on the homefront…. I went ahead and signed up for the ride this morning, even though as I sit here puzzling over my coffee that there’s just not enough hours in the day! I’m gonna have to gracefully bow out & head on back so I can check on my mom, go to my late afternoon acupuncture appointment, and hopefully wave goodbye to son & his girlfriend before they head out on their mini-vacation to Mexico.

October 19th, Meals and Sleep
I don’t think the calories I found for my homemade soup are accurate. I don’t know how to find better.
Sleep was full of dreams. I’m not sure I slept as well as the Fitbit says.

Hmmm, that does sound too “calorie-dense” for chicken vegetable soup - my Lose It app (which granted, does not specify “which” vegetables!) says 136 calories per cup? I doubt you ate 6 2/3 cups!!
I’ll be anxious to step onto the scales in the morning, to see if I’ve slipped below that damned 190-lb threshold where I’ve been stuck for way too many months… I’ve eaten well under my revised caloric limits of 1400 cal/day with moderate exercise - and even more vitally important, I got very good sleep last weekend! Tonight there might be hell to pay…0 -
October 20th, Meals and Sleep
My meal for Sunday was just prime rib. I try to cook a roast for Sunday’s. It’s the only meal I eat on Sunday.
My Sleep on the other hand was not as good as I hoped. It shows I had an early session of sleep which I thought was going to get me through the whole night. Wrong. I was woken by coyote howls so I started my window A/C. I didn’t hit the right buttons so it would stop running then start again instead of continuously running. So I woke up twice before I got up to change it. Then the rest of my sleep seemed really light. It sucked. Not to mention I have an appointment this morning I didn’t want to sleep through.

Well, the jokes on me - holding steady at 192 this morning! Guess it is all about the source of those calories - Friday night, I ate a pasta-based Mexican casserole which there again was a big bowl of pasta with a little bit of ground beef, tomatoes, corn and cheese. Saturday I had some store-bought chicken salad with which I know the crackers were no bueno, then Sunday I had a breakfast burrito but then I had Chinese food last night with my son as we are celebrating his official engagement. He & Victoria fly out to Mexico for their little mini-vacation today…

Wow and congratulations to your son and his fiancee. That is exciting news.1

October 21st. Meals and sleep
My meals stayed under calories. Sleep felt better but still dreaming a lot.

I’m going to overlook my last 2 nights of sleep since those buzzards came home to roost: didn’t sleep well Sunday night & only marginally better last night. Sunday night bcz I was dreading going back to work after my all-too-short recreational weekend, and last night I was having a hard time keeping my temperature regulated: I was too hot starting out, and then I got progressively chilled.
Weight bumped up a pound since I sat around mindlessly snacking last night.

Oh dear. That must have been roughed. I hope tonight’s sleep is much better for you.0

October 22, Meals
I hate over my calories but I was active. I didn’t get to 10,000 steps but my Bit shows many active moments.

Yesterday’s step count surprised me: 6500 but it WAS a busy busy day! Then after work, I had to go feed my son’s cats/check on the other critters/return his rental car on his behalf. I asked Hubby to drive me over there, and took him to our ol’ favorite BBQ joint as his “reward” afterwards. He was a little huffy about it (didn’t understand why Z couldn’t have returned the rental when they flew out on Monday - I know he could have, but it’s hard enough for him to get to the airport on time - I didn’t want him to stress about it & I needed to go over to take care of the critters anyway)
So this morning I’m starting out tired & bloated; I woke up with the Vulcan battle theme playing in my head, don’t really know why? A lot to do & not enough time to do it…
On Thursday I really ought to trek up to Allen (far north side of the Metroplex) to attend the memorial service of a friend’s husband - while I’ve know he has had many health issues, his death was unexpected.
We also lost one of our animal control officers to suicide - again, quite shocking & unexpected. Unfortunately, his services will be over the weekend I am obligated to go work the trail ride in OK (Nov 2), so I’ll just have to send flowers from me & my crew.
I’m really demoralized but gotta keep on keeping on.
Last night’s sleep was better, but that final interval was far from restful
