Nope. Haven't been good. Daughter arrived Thursday, we went on an overnight trip Friday which of course involved chips/fries and beer. Last night we went to friend's house for dinner. Far too much wine!
Daughter leaves for her island job tomorrow so I've got no excuses any more. Not sick, no guests, no travel. I do plan a shopping trip to the city one day this week and I plan on having a cheeseburger at 5 Guys. With mayo it will be about 900 calories. I won't get fries.
Our gym will be closed for a couple of months in the autumn for refurbishment. Not sure what I'll do. Of course, I'll have my dumbbells and ankle weights and floor exercises at home. There are still classes which have been moved to a different building, so I guess I could go to spin bike class 3 times a week. I could do Tae Bo at home, or go power walking.
Progress as of today: 17 lbs lost so far, only 15 lbs to go!

Morning, Annie. Good to see you're still active.
Still here. Didn't get in my 3 times workout last week due to travel, but I will this week.
Horn_Of_Plenty on 04/11/2016:
maybe there is another gym nearby?
yes, overnighters are hard sometimes when indulging is such a tease / option!
There is only one gym in my area.
thinnside40 on 04/11/2016:
Just keep active.
Will do. I used to do Tae Bo at home. Good workout.
