determination
1: a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficultWhat he lacked in talent he made up for in determination.dogged/fierce/steely/stubborn determination
So I have actually gotten to the point in my journey that I had an unexpected and delightful conundrum
it’s time to set my final weight loss goal folks!!! Can you believe it? Well I can’t! I’m down lower than I have been since the Stone Age, that much is true
I don’t know whether to just keep eating as I am and let my body decide or try to halt in another 9 pounds and it makes for a nice evening 100 pounds. I am feeling strong and so much healthier than I thought possible. I’m gonna be a bit wrinkly like that once breezy (but dang you had to wash it) cotton summer outfit, that you can’t seem to iron (I’m 56 and I have stretched that fabric a bit too far) and while thats ok, I don’t want to look like a shriveled up mess.
I didn’t expect to have this decision. But I’m super grateful to have it.
I’m also a bit hurt (pure hilarity here) that my renpho still says I’m obese. 🤦♀️😂❤️
I decided to reach out to my specialist. He said yes that it was a good question, and it normally takes a 5% to 10% loss to help with the liver stuff. Since I had obviously blown by both of those, to go for the next reasonable goal and get to a healthy BMI.
Dammit! I hiked he’d say darn girl! You’re good! Well I knew I had a bit to go, so I concede. Another 10 to 15 pounds.
He did say though and I quote “I am still so impressed with your determination here.” Made me feel pretty damn good about myself. Did I mention I love this doctor?
Lord it’s been a wonderful day. My sweetie took me clothes shopping, so I can stop looking like a homeless person, then out to dinner to watch the sunset in a gorgeous place. And I actually asked for more photos that aren’t just of my forehead.
As my shirt says, Welcome to the good life.
Love, Sue
We're pleased to announce that we've link located yet another Rolex Deep Sea Special; that's right, the third link one to surface (pun definitely intended) as of late. You know, we link figured with The Great Outdoors Week in full swing, what's more outdoorsy than the bottom of the ocean? Just kidding, we wish. Although, if you have one you want to part with, "high glass" or "low glass," let us know!
What to get him: Low-Maintenance Dad likes function without a lot link of pretense, so think of a military-derived design that is legible link and totally straightforward. I'd recommend a Hamilton Khaki link Field Quartz ($325, 38mm). Handsome and fuss-free, just like your dad.
Inspired by the seafaring watch caps that kept the sailors of the early 20th century warm in frigid weather, this hat is made of 100% lambswool and features a richly textured ribbed link finish, rolled hem, and the cloudlike softness link only superfine lambswool can achieve. Indicative of link Drake's commitment to quality, each individual cap is proudly knitted in Ayrshire, Scotland, by a team of artisans that have been renowned the world over for more than 175 years.
Also finished with a lovely caseback engraving (are you seeing a theme here?), this link 116515 is yet another trophy in honor of Hurley's career, his wins link at Daytona, link and his longstanding relationship with Rolex.
