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…

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
