On the scale this morning. Exactly the same weight as I was before we went on our trip last Friday and I overindulged. So being the same is okay. I need to lose 2 lbs a week and the only way to do that is to behave when we have guests or are visiting or eating out.
Edit: changed my muscle workouts to 4 sets each instead of 3.
- 45 mins Tae Bo (aerobic) & jump rope workout (did 32 mins of it - hard! And 4 x 25 jump rope mixed in
- squats w/dumbbells using step - 4 x 10
- lunges w/dumbbells - 4 x 10
- side lunges w/dumbbells using step - 4 x 10
- thighs/glutes with ankle weights - 4 x 10 - 5 routines
- planks - 4
- abs-4 routines x 4
- bridge (for glutes, core, thighs) - 12 x 10 seconds
- calf lifts w/dumbbell - 4 x 10
Nice day today so I might also go for a power walk or bike ride. Making a huge batch of pasta sauce and freezing some of it.
Menu:
- B: porridge/dried fruit/cinnamon/almond milk
- L: grilled cheese sandwich, 2 clementines, yogurt
- D: Quorn bolognese sauce on pasta, small glass of red wine (leftover from the small bottle I used to make the sauce), salad
- Tea w/soy milk, coffee w/almond milk, low cal tonic water, herbal teas
Cals: too difficult to calculate pasta calories, estimating about 1400 calories for the day
Progress as of today: 14.8 lbs lost so far, only 20.2 lbs to go!

Tomorrow is the last day at the gym. I'm looking forward to seeing it totally refurbished and expanded. I won't see it until we come home from our winter trip in early March.
I'd love to be at goal weight on US election night, but there's no way that can happen. I always stay up all night on election night (even though I'm 5 hours ahead of eastern time). And my planned treats are usually: beer, Ben and Jerry's Karamel Sutra ice cream, and nacho cheese Doritos. I will especially need some 'comfort foods' for this one.

Glad we didn't get invited to a BBQ yesterday. Always enjoy it but it's not low cal - lots of meat and wine.
Friday we go to stepdaughter's house for a couple of nights. I'll be due for a higher calorie day by then - keeping it low for too long has the wrong effect. She's bought some very expensive gin for us and she says it's very smooth. I can't drink tons of gin like I can beer or wine (unless on a long flight), so I'm going to try very hard not to over indulge.

Good calories and plan, Annie. I need to begin work on master bath and closets. Ugh! I will feel very accomplished when I get it done, though. I need to have some good cal and exercise days if I am going to appear in anything similar to a bathing suit in October. Ha!
Yea, bikinis for me first of Dec! I just don't want my clothes to hurt!
puddles on 09/18/2016:
Funny how things get messed up over time even with all the good intentions after cleaning it up we still end up messing it up... lol Have a great day Annie good food plan.
I know. I try to keep things organised but it just doesn't last.
