Summer is here with a vengeance

The first official day of summer was Friday, and the weekend temps were in the 90's.  I guess when Mother Nature decides to make it summer, that's what she does.  Oh well.

Hubby took me to Bannerman's Island on Saturday as an early birthday present.  In the late 1800's to early 1900's it was used as a munitions warehouse, until it blew up in 1920.  There are the remains of a "castle" and the house the family used.  It's now a park and there is a private foundation trying to raise funds to stabilize the structures.  Very nice tour and it was fun taking a boat ride to the island.  We also went to the Renegades home opener on Friday.  They won, so that was fun as well.

I was down .6 lb this past weigh in.  Not quite sure how that happened, but I am "only" up 0.2 lb from before the cruise.  I am 2.6 lb away from goal.  Don't think I'm going to make it before my birthday, but stranger things have happened.  I will settle for hitting goal during my birthday "month"!

I've been going to the acupuncturist for about 3 months now.  And while I'm in less pain (most of the time) than I was before, I don't really know how much this is really helping me.  Insurance is covering almost all of it, and I've met my deductible for the year, so unless I start feeling like it's a total waste of time, I will continue to go.  He's going to give me the series of 3 shots in each knee starting next week.  And what's interesting about the shots, is that I don't think they are working, but when they wear off (like now), I can really tell that the effect has worn off!  So, hopefully, I can get another 6+ months of less pain out of these next series of shots.  I really can't imagine how my knees would be if I hadn't lost the 88 lb.  That's just scary even thinking about it.

Next month will be the 2 year anniversary of restarting WW.  I think it would be cool to reach goal during that month.  I can do it.  And after 25+ years of paying for WW, I can become lifetime! and not have to pay if I stay w/in 2 lb of my goal weight.
