Yes, I've been misbehaving....very badly! Had a houseguest and she and I are a bad influence on each other. Also, I've just been indulgent and couldn't seem to stop. My clothes are too tight, but I have no option but to wear them.
Haven't been to the gym for quite a while, haven't been doing dumbbells. I did have a bad cold for about 2 weeks which made me feel weak - and an excuse for more indulgence. We also went into the city 3 times to shop for a new car and that also meant eating out.
Weighed myself this morning, but it looks like I haven't gained - and actually lost, but I'm gaining fat and losing muscle. So if I hadn't lost muscle I'm sure I'd weight well into the 160's. Not getting on the scale for a long time as it doesn't accurately reflect gain/loss. I can judge by my clothese.
Time to stop whining. Yesterday I had under 1100 calories. Thurs we are going to visit daughter on the island and we'll be going on a 33 mile bike ride - eating out and beer. Then Saturday we ride back 33 miles while daughter takes the bus. A friend comes on Sunday and on Monday we're going to an island for two overnights - eating out and cocktails. When all guests are gone I'll be very seriously sticking to calories and workouts!
Menu:
- B: porridge/dried fruit/cinnamon/almond milk

I've been AWOL again. Time to behave again. I've got 3 bikinis I need to be able to wear by Dec 1st. Haven't been on the scale but I'm guessing I'm close to 160. I'll get on scale tomorrow morning. Clothes are too tight and it feels awful.
Had a houseguest for a few days last week (sis in law from Australia). We went to niece's wedding last Friday, then an all day party Saturday. I haven't behaved myself since.
Caught a cold sometimes over the weekend so now I've got a sore throat, cough, runny nose and lack of energy. Gym? Hope to go Tuesday. Weds. we go pick up a new car we bought, then sis in law returns for a few days.
Got a trip to an island with a online friend I've never met but have known for about 10 years. She's coming for a wedding so we arranged a trip to an island we've both wanted to visit.
Might do a short dumbbells and muscle workout today.
Threw out the rest of a pack of biscuits. So no junk in house. But there will be cocktails when sis in law comes back.
Menu:
- B: porridge/dried fruit/cinnamon/almond milk

The weather looks great next week so we might visit daughter on the island - we'll drive to town and park - then take the bikes on the ferry, then ride the hilly 33 mile trip to the next quick ferry - then the small island. I've been wanting to do this ride - husband has done it a few times. This would not seem daunting before, would have felt like an easy trip. But after my weeks of being lazy it seems like it will be hard work. I'll just have to figure out how to use my new Go Pro video camera that straps to the bike helmet before we go!

Good for you Annie.
Thanks Fran. Felt good and I've got the good kind of sore muscles from yesterday.
OhioRaven on 08/15/2016:
Finally found the key to your gym locker. Good News. Have a Great day, Annie.
Yep, found the key! I'm at the point where I have to lose or start buying bigger clothes and I will NEVER do that.
Diamond50 on 08/15/2016:
Looks like an awesome day Annie. Keep going!
Thanks. Will do!
Horn_Of_Plenty on 08/15/2016:
really great to see you getting back onto the positive track for weight loss Annie.
Will have a few off days coming up due to travel and guests, but in between I'm strict!
