Went into the city yesterday to buy a dress for a wedding in two weeks. I would have preferred a smaller size and clingy! My own fault. Did not behave in town as we had lunch and dinner out - and beers.
Woke up very tired and with a sinus headache so no gym, no home workout.

well you are just getting into your workout so maybe it's taken a small toll on your body....i KNOW you are going to feel better soon if you rest right.
but you found a dress!? that's good. always good to have the dress.!!
hate shopping.
i actually need a dress myself...but can't find the time to push myself to get one.
grannyannie on 07/16/2016:
Not my first choice for a dress, but it works for my weight. I love to shop when I'm a good weight - like 130ish. Wedding in two weeks so I was stressed about finding one.

One day at a time- don't be too hard on yourself.
grannyannie on 07/16/2016:
Time to crack down though. Still feel like I'm not back in my own time zone yet.
Progress as of today: 14.6 lbs lost so far, only 17.4 lbs to go!

Sorry to hear about your neighbour. Tomorrow is another day sometimes there is nothing we can do about the situation we are in and have to ride it out for the day.

Ok. Now I have to look up Empire Biscuit, to see what it is. Speaking of Biscuit...has anyone heard from our long time member, biscotti body ?
OhioRaven on 07/13/2016:
I see it now. With a cherry on top.
Glad to hear you are getting back on track at your own speed. I also sometimes take my time slowly getting back. Like you, i find it difficult to drop calories too far down after several days of indulgence! enjoy your time and your speed getting back to where you were.
<3 it's all about routine. Happy to see you back here with us, as well.
Finally back! 3 weeks with sister visiting us here in Scotland, then 3 weeks in the US. Super indulgent but all I can do is get back on track. Getting on the scale tomorrow morning to find out the damage and judging by my clothes, it'll be BIG.
I will get back to the gym on Monday and today or tomorrow will get back to my home gym and do my muscle work.
Menu:
B: porridge/dried fruit/cinnamon/almond milk
L: chicken breast slices on whole wheat wrap w/lite mayo, strawberries & grapes, yogurt
Somewhat lazy day. Getting guest room ready for sister. Going to gym Mon and Tues. On Weds I'll go shopping, clean house, get haircut. Haven't had it cut since before Thailand - end of Nov.
Menu:
B: porridge/dried fruit/cinnamon/almond milk
L: pbj/honey on toast, clementine, yogurt, glass of almond milk

I have to research what a lunge is.
grannyannie on 05/22/2016:
Lunges and squats are good for butt and thighs especially when holding dumbbells.
Horn_of_plenty on 05/22/2016:
You are doing so great with your calories & getting ready for your sister's visit! is she younger or older than you? mine is 3 yrs younger but lately we can relate more & more now that she's 30 and i'm 33...the age difference seems to get less and less as maturity is the same basically... :)
also, perhaps we can see your haircut or before vs. after! i should upload some of my own photos ... which i will today! (before people start wondering why i push it on you guys and don't upload my own! haha)
grannyannie on 05/22/2016:
Sister is 2 years older than me - 66.
Just getting a trim, nothing drastic.
Horn_of_plenty on 05/22/2016:
also, even if you don't count calories, you can make good food choices, or moderate ones & indulge when you want to....that's what i did last night at dinner. felt good to eat what i wanted & not a salad or lots of veggies. i just didn't have it in me (the desire for veggies wasn't there). :)
puddles on 05/22/2016:
You sound on top of everything Annie.
Horn_of_plenty on 05/25/2016:
when you get to your age (not being mean sorry!), is there any difference at all between your ages or do you even think about it anymore?
Sister coming Thursday. Won't be counting calories while she's here or when we go to the US with her. But I'll try to at least log my food and workouts most days.
Workout at home:

push ups - 3 x 12

Really tired as it was a long day yesterday. No gym, no home workout.
As requested by HOP, a couple of Thailand photos:
Progress as of today: 21.8 lbs lost so far, only 10.2 lbs to go!
Horn_Of_Plenty on 05/20/2016:
loving that you are sharing these photos ... you look GREAT in that photo so happy & healthy...i will write more later when more relaxed & not at work!!!!!
Horn_Of_Plenty on 05/20/2016:
i know this is too much info....but the feeling of this pressure in my body because of hormones is making me extra sensitive down there....like i am turned on....it's a weird feeling. have you ever experienced what i'm talking about!? I'm 33...and don't love the feeling especially if i'm at work!
Back to your routine today. Moving on. Hope you feel better soon. Have a great evening.
Thanks Fran.
