I know this isn't the place for politics, but I am thoroughly depressed and stressed over what happened at noon on Friday. I reallly fear for the country even though I don't live there any more. I fear for my granddaughters, my family, my friends.
Haven't been on the scale. Need to do that tomorrow morning.
Since it's Saturday morning and not raining it means we rode our bikes to Villa Chocolat for a treat that I haven't earned. 
Photo below.
I should have gotten up and gone on bike ride with hubby this morning. Did do 5+ miles to get chocolate though. Might ride some more later.

B: toast, yogurt

L: crackers and cheese
D: veg fried rice, bacon, 1 fried egg, and 2 big beers - hmm.... upset about new prez

I think having that cake though would definitely help lift up my spirits, though, even if only temporary - WOW!!!
Rode my bike to the gym but it started raining while I was there. Had my raincoat, but still got my head and shoes soaked. Skipped my floor exercises at home as I wanted to go straight into the shower.
Massage this morning. Bliss.

you remind me to book some massages...will be doing that soon!!!!! i have a few monthly prepaids waiting to be used up...probably at least 3 massages that i already paid for and need to schedule!
Was hoping to join hubby on his 6 am bike ride but it was raining and there was thunder so we didn't go. Didn't go to the gym either as it's my day for lower body muscle work and my thighs and butt are still sore. I just didn't want to go just for cardio.
So, lazy day. Would have gone for a bike ride later but hubby has a sore throat (thanks to me) and I told him he needs to rest and stop going for long bike rides!
Menu:
B: porridge & raisins, yogurt
S: small cappuccino & small cup of animal crackers
L: veg fried rice with bacon and 1 egg
Dinner time started walking to a nearby restaurant we haven't been to in weeks but half the road was flooded and it was too dangerous to walk on the road. So we decided on the spur of the moment to catch a tuk tuk into the busy beach/town area.
D: a really yummy steak and ale pie with mashed potatoes, gravy and peas. And....umm.... 2 1/2 beers
Progress as of today: 11.9 lbs lost so far, only 6.1 lbs to go!

I think this one had milk in it although it was supposed to be a smoothie not a shake. Mango smoothies at other restaurants are much darker in colour. So this had mango, ice, milk, and probably some sugar.
Rain, rain, rain. Supposed to be 3 more days. Then it's finished. Uh huh. I've heard that 6 or 7 times now.
It was still raining when my alarm when off at 6:30 so I stayed in bed. I did do a modified lower body muscle workout but without dumbbells.

It's raining here too today...but very welcome! it's too warm for snow & that's amazing...all month mostly rain instead of snow = seriously amazing in NYC in January.
Got on scale. .3 lbs less than last time I weighed myself. Probably muscle loss!
Menu:
B: porridge & raisins, banana
S: Americano, 2 small pieces of whole grain, seeded toast with butter and homemade pineapple jam (had to go pick up our weekly loaf of homemade bread since we were too early yesterday which is baking day)
L: Asparagus and tofu, one small spoonful of hubby's rice
S: a few hard candies -sugar free coffee flavour, a few plain crackers
D: roasted chicken, boiled potatoes, some kind of leafy green veg you cook (hubby knows) - there is a hut down the road where a man roasts whole chickens all day and they always look and smell so good - so convinced hubby we should have that for dinner

I can tell you are eating less calories now...good job. I sometimes go for a few sf candies too...when i'm feeling really snacky at work and i already ate and shouldn't be hungry again.
Lovely sunny day. Went with husband to mass this morning. I am actually enjoying it although I haven't been catholic for about 45 years. We always have a chat with a couple of people who have lived here a long time - a lady from South Africa and a man from England. I enjoy the music they play as well - their choir has beautiful voices.
Some shopping afterwards then to usual Sunday lunch restaurant. Unfortunately we were too early and the bread hadn't finished baking yet. So we'll go back in the morning to get it.
A dip in the pool later. Refreshing.
Menu:
B: porridge & raisins, yogurt
S: was starving after mass and picked up some peanut M & Ms
L: pumpkin and tofu curry with jasmine and brown rice, my Sunday gin and tonic
D: scrambled eggs, toast, cheese and crackers
S: rum and pepsi
M - F will be NO beer or alcohol and I WILL behave.
Progress as of today: 10.3 lbs lost so far, only 7.7 lbs to go!

I totally remember last year you writing about buying some clothes, i think also for your sister!, from this vacation spot. :-) They must be really nice and comfortable pants. So nice of you to think of her again. So thoughtful <3
Since you didn't mention rain, I will! I'm in NY, right near NYC Manhattan, and well usually this time of year if we have precipitation it's in the form of snow. But this whole January, for the most part, it's been so nice with slightly warmer temps. Well, we had a major storm with flooding for people who live along the shore, NOT where I am, only right along the shore towns, with flooding...Mother Nature is so weird this year! We don't get rain with floods in winter. and this year we did! Usually these storms occur for us at the end of summer. or early fall.
Well, I'm glad your weather has cleared up and that you were able to do some biking (i'm sure you aren't sore anymore!) and weights.
Lovely picture of the temple. Such wonderful sites by you both nature and man-made temples and beauty. Love it :-D
I buy clothes or handbags and other souvenirs for sister, granddaughters, stepdaughter, etc. And of course some for me. Everybody loves the harem pants.
I keep reading about temps being much warmer than normal. Same for my family in Michigan, same for our home in Scotland.
Hoping we can snorkel next week!

Your glass noodle soups sound better than what i have at home restaurants.
Authentic Thai food is 100 times better than what you get in US or UK Thai restaurants!
