I'm surprised at how sore I am today. My thighs are especially sore as I wasn't doing any spin bike or biking of any kind. No workouts today, but will do tomorrow. Already been to the dentist for teeth cleaning, grocery shopping and now need to clean house!
Guests today until Saturday. Ugandan daughter and her friend. I dutifully bought her white chocolate Magnums (ice cream bars) and Nutella. Dinner tonight for them will be: chicken with bacon, potatoes and gravy, peas and carrots (her fave), salad. But I will just eat leftover curry and a salad. Her friend likes G & T's so I will have one will her tonight.

Not going to get on the scale until at least Nov. No point. It won't accurately reflect any gain/loss as I can tell that I've lost some muscle. But I'll certainly know I'm losing by how my clothes fit.
Very sore, but still a good sore. Don't want to overdo or get injured!

Still jet lagged! This trip really took it out of me. I guess it's taking longer this time due to 5 hour difference for 5 weeks. Wonder how long it will take after we spend 3 months in Thailand??
Didn't make it to the gym this morning. Stayed late at our friends' house.
Workout at home: Finally!
Did not do my muscle workout yesterday and doubt I'll do it today. Still too jetlagged. We didn't wake up until 9:30 this morning. And yesterday I think I ODd on fibre so wasn't doing well. 
Invited to friends' house for dinner tonight. Wine will be kept minimal. At least that's my plan. Dinner won't be very high calorie.
To the gym tomorrow. Hope I can get into my spandex capris!
Just two months to next holiday! My summer clothes MUST fit!
Going to do 2 sets of everything instead of 3 so I don't get too sore after such a long break.

Will catch up with you all eventually. Went grocery shopping today - all healthy. Still very tired and haven't yet unpacked.
Not going near the scale for a couple of weeks. I see the change in the shape of my body. Not nearly as toned and firm as it was when I left on trip. 
I got on my sister's scale and it didn't increase by much. Sister suggested I'd lost muscle which was true. Doesn't take long does it!? We did a lot of walking but that just isn't enough. The first week I was there I did a really good workout at my son's gym using weights and then cardio. Once. Most clothes are now too tight.
Ugandan daughter has invited herself and her boss to come visit next week for 3 days. Challenge.
Confessing some of the things I ate/drank: lobster, Mexican food, lots of Panera bagels, Chinese, steaks, 5 Guys Burgers, pizza 4 or 5 times, LOTS of different kinds of beers. Some wine.

I'm back. Hope you all are doing well! 
I was away in the US for 5 weeks and my intentions were to post here every day. Obviously never happened. Usually I was just too busy, but I should have checked in weekly. Anyway, I was NOT good. I enjoyed myself very much but I'll be paying for it now. I only got in one good gym and serious muscle workout so my muscles feel like they have dissolved. No point in getting on the scale as I've lost muscle and gained fat, so it won't be an accurate reflection.
Just arrived today, so tomorrow it's grocery shopping, calories and workouts.
Umpqua and Thinkpositive, we did make it to Mystic Seaport and loved it! No chance to meet up with anyone as we didn't realize we actually needed two days to properly see the Seaport and the area.
Progress as of today: 29.6 lbs lost so far, only 5.4 lbs to go!
Final weight before trip 137.4.
In hotel tonight. Early flight tomorrow. Lots of walking today around Glasgow as it was a gorgeous day.
B: porridge, yogurt S: bacon roll Late lunch: baked potato and cheese and salad, 1/2 pint beer S: pint beer and 1/2 packet crisps D: steak, chips, peas, mushrooms, tomatoes, pint beer
Progress as of today: 29.6 lbs lost so far, only 5.4 lbs to go!
Thanks for all your trip wishes!

Exercise: serious housework!
Progress as of today: 30 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
For me, it used to be right around 125 that made me feel super...but now I weight 126...but I've lost a lot of muscle in my legs over the past 2.5yrs so I look bigger at my bottom half...i realize i'll just have to deal with it :) and work with what I have right now. :)
anyways, take lots of pictures and I can't wait to hear about your time in the...US right?...with your family.
120 lbs are age 40 was perfect.
Scale still creeping downward. Running out of time though. Leaving Sunday so won't be hitting 132.

Workout at home (lower): figured my calves, thighs and butt got enough of a workout this week that I did 2 sets instead of 3 on those targeting those area.

Ugandan daughters dinner and dessert sounds so good - you have serious willpower to avoid it!

Getting back into your routine I can understand that you would be sore. Nice to have your daughter over you seem to be making the right food choices. Enjoy your company Annie.
