Nope. Haven't been good. Daughter arrived Thursday, we went on an overnight trip Friday which of course involved chips/fries and beer. Last night we went to friend's house for dinner. Far too much wine!
Daughter leaves for her island job tomorrow so I've got no excuses any more. Not sick, no guests, no travel. I do plan a shopping trip to the city one day this week and I plan on having a cheeseburger at 5 Guys. With mayo it will be about 900 calories. I won't get fries.
Our gym will be closed for a couple of months in the autumn for refurbishment. Not sure what I'll do. Of course, I'll have my dumbbells and ankle weights and floor exercises at home. There are still classes which have been moved to a different building, so I guess I could go to spin bike class 3 times a week. I could do Tae Bo at home, or go power walking.
Progress as of today: 17 lbs lost so far, only 15 lbs to go!

your exercise is always "da bomb" .... just get back on track with your eating & you will be golden!
I know what it's like to feel fat & hate it...that's the turning point when a person becomes successful at weightloss! so....sounds to me like you are getting back on track for real Annie Lady! :)
Cheers! I have to do this!
