I was supposed to go into the city today to pick up my new glasses, but the ferries weren’t running because of thick fog. Went to the gym instead. I’ll pick up glasses on Monday.

On the scale this morning to assess the damage. Exactly the same as posted. Oh well….at least it’s not higher! So I start from here. 10 weeks and 2 days until we go to Thailand! My swimsuits and shorts need to fit!
Shopping today. Bought unsalted blanched almonds. Good for you and filling, but not something I’d ever be tempted to binge on. So there is nothing in the house to binge on (still a partial jar of pb but I've mostly left that alone).
I’ve been busy researching and booking accommodation for next summer and it’s all done! Booked the usual week next August with granddaughters and son - near Lake Michigan. Then booked an apartment in Arlington, VA for my sister and hubby and me (and possibly brother) in Sept.

I've seen the two lead actors in several things before and both are great!
sometimes at work in nyc, we see a filming crew too ;)
great to see you working out and eating well again and good to know the peanuts are finished ;)
Yesterday I got really, really hungry in the middle of the afternoon, so had 1/2 pbj sandwich. Sigh. I did better when I always had porridge for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch. Sticks with me better. I used to always do a sandwich for lunch and then a salad mid afternoon. No carb counting. I did consistently lose weight doing this so I’m going to do this again. Just finished the last of the big tub of yogurt this morning.
Menu: B: soy yogurt/strawberries, tea w/soy milk S: black coffee and pb/2 oatcakes after workout at gym S: at home coconut/almond milk cappuccino L: 3 scrambled eggs and smoked salmon (I will finish off the packet of salmon tomorrow) D: Veggie & Quorn curry, diet tonic with lime S: Dry roasted peanuts (they will all be gone soon) Total: 1183 Gym: treadmill - (intervals uphill and speed) - 10 mins elliptical - 10 mins rowing machine - 10 mins recumbent bike - 15 mins Leg press (20kg) - 3 sets of 10

They will be gone in a few days with hubby's help.

have a good night. many of us here eat nuts in our diets :)
"Gee, I don't spend enough time in the bathroom. I guess I'll eat all these nuts..." (Been there, done that.)
Watching tv at night without snacking is too challenging. I’m finding I can’t leave the peanuts and oat cakes alone and having ‘just a few more’ of ‘just one’ doesn’t work. I haven’t been on the scale but I know I’m not losing. Once the peanuts and oat cakes are gone I won’t buy any more. If there’s nothing tempting in the house I can’t eat it.
Menu:
B: soy yogurt/blueberries, tea w/soy milk
S: cappuccino and pb on 2 oatcakes
L: chicken breast sandwich
D: Veggie & Quorn curry, tonic with lime
S: Dry roasted peanuts
Total: 1152

Good to hear you're getting back into exercise!
i do have certain brands of chips where supposedly they are less calories, but sometimes i wonder if they are lying on the package since they taste the same as other chips but say you can eat so many more in a serving!? hmmm...
i do have some high calorie foods, like peanut butter, that i eat so often now that i have stopped bingeing on them. i'm learning more and more how to be moderate with more and more food. but snacks foods - these are difficult to watch.
i have nuts at work, really tasty ones, but because i eat them all the time, i no longer binge...when i get bored of things or have them often, i binge far less / eat less.
Finally made it to the gym. 95% over my cold.
Menu:
B: porridge/strawberries/almond milk, tea w/soy milk S: cappuccino and quinoa/cranberry bar L: 6 veg salad, cheddar D: rice noodles with veggies and Quorn, tonic with lime S: can of premixed diet gin and tonic (83 cals) with lime Total: 1164 Gym: treadmill - (intervals uphill and speed) - 10 mins elliptical - 10 mins rowing machine - 5 mins recumbent bike - 15 mins Leg press (20kg) - 3 sets of 10

I behaved while in the city, but did a bit of snacking when I got home last night. Not too bad though.
Not feeling up to going to the gym yet - still low energy and stuffiness. Cough has eased a lot. I plan to go to the gym tomorrow and do a lighter workout.

You made the best of a change in plans!
Your menu sounds delicious!
Well done day!
Thanks! If I continue to behave (except social occasions like a wedding) then I should get fairly close to goal by Nov 30.

My next step is to get ride of dairy - how do you like soy milk? I have a quart in my refrigerator but I am too afraid to actually taste it.
I use unsweetened soy milk in my tea. I like it. If I'm actually going to drink a glass of milk, I drink sweetened almond. In my cappuccinos I use coconut/almond. Husband likes to use oat milk in his porridge. I use almond. I always buy Alpro. Bought a store brand of soy once and didn't like it.

How cool...I want to be able to say that I couldn't do something because the ferries wouldn't let me!!!!!!!!!
We live on a peninsula. The passenger ferries here are a big source of anger and frustration. They go off very easily - not good if you're trying to get to work. Our ferries are a 20 minute crossing - love it on a sunny day.
