Scale is staying the same.
Exercise today was a short swim, and a 7 1/2 mile bike ride which included a couple of hills.
My lunch:
My smoothie is the one on the left:
Progress as of today: 26 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!
Whew! It is hot here! But it makes the pool and the sea feel very comfortable - refreshing but far from cold.

keep up the great work on exercise & nice indulgences on food & treats lol!
Sunday: I had another treat even though I was going to stick to one this week. Next weekend I'll either had one treat or none.
Menu:
You are doing great with exercise & I am happy you are enjoying yourself on vacation - with all the exercise and being with your hubby & everything.
It's so nice to live it up and enjoy life. happy for you.
Rode our bikes 12 miles today. Very hot and sweaty!

My treat:
Progress as of today: 25.8 lbs lost so far, only 6.2 lbs to go!
how long are you there on vaca for & is that your husband sitting opposite from you?
all the food sounds extremely flavorful - not boring
Our bikes arrived today just after noon, so we haven't ridden them yet. Needed to go grocery shopping and also stopped for lunch. We'll try them out tomorrow. So far no rain today and hoping the same tomorrow.
Gym: Much cooler now although never cool enough for me. I think the AC is being set lower.

Thursday
Not a workout day. Some walking and swimming. We bought a couple of cheap bicycles today, so we'll get some extra exercise.
Menu:
Scale going down!
Used the 7 inch fan I bought in the gym this morning, and though not perfect, it was much better and didn't feel impending heat stroke. Managed a longer cardio.

Anything we can do to make it so we can exercise more efficiently despite the obstacles is smart on our parts. nice.
Non-workout day.
Menu:
Progress as of today: 24 lbs lost so far, only 8 lbs to go!
Lately, I grab some fruit, a granola-type bar, and some caffeine before my workouts. It's amazing how much stronger I am with the carbs & caffeine....not saying it's the best way, but it's in my newfound opinion - a good way.
Monday - scale going down! My plans were to have 2 treats a week but I think I'll delay that until I'm at least under 140.
Very quiet at DD.
Gym day: it is still far too hot as the AC is turned up too high. So today I bought a fan small enough to fit in my backpack and I can plug it in right in front of where the dumbbell rack is. At least the air will be moving. Hate cutting workouts short because I'm too hot.
3 x 12 of 11 routines for upper body using dumbbells
3 x 10 lunges, side lunges, squats, calf lifts using dumbbells
15 mins intervals on elliptical
Back at the house: (with the AC on and a fan blowing right on me!)
3 x 10 abs, bridge, planks, push ups, triceps dips
3 x 10 ankle weights - glutes, thighs
Menu:
B: toast w/pbj, soy yogurt, tea
S: Americano with the wee biscuits they give you at the coffee shop, finishing with a small glass of hot green tea they give you to 'cleanse the palate'
L: scrambled eggs, toast, grapes, iced green tea
D: green curry w/tofu - I didn't ask for rice and neither did hubby, but the waitress thought I forgot to ask, so I took the rice she brought and had about 1/2, with 2 beers since it's a workout day
S: apple
Progress as of today: 24 lbs lost so far, only 8 lbs to go!
Sunday:
Sunshine except for short rain shower. Some walking and swimming. Another no beer day. Back to gym tomorrow which means I can have beer with dinner! 
Menu:
Brk: pbj on toast, soy yogurt, banana, tea
Lunch: bits of fried pork, kale, green onions in spicy sauce, 1/2 portion rice, iced tea
Dinner: green curry with shrimp, small portion rice, diet coke
S: apple

Well, I gotta say, that chicken wrap looks AMAZINGLY good! and the smoothies are so colorful!
Man, are you living it up! Happy for you. I think you're smart to keep going with weighing in while away, especially if you are eating different food than usual and trying to enjoy doing it without gaining weight. It's great you are being so active, that surely helps a GREAT deal.
Keep us updated on your vaca, I love living it a little thru you! enjoy Annie :)
Thanks! It's very healthy food! The plan to include treats and to only have beer or other alcohol 3 times a week is a good one.

Curious what the actual wrap is made from.
All looks good--and very satisfying!
Not sure what all the ingredients were, but each bite was a burst of many flavours. I will definitely have this again.

It all looks real good. The drink are amazing. You seem to be enjoying yourself and keeping healthy Annie.
Yes, I am. I swore the same thing wouldn't happen like last year - gaining a ton and feeling all my clothes get tight. Buying a scale was a good idea as well.
