Going out in the kayak shortly when the sun isn't so high.

Out of sync here since I'm 12 hours ahead of EST in the US.

Went to the party last night for our community. Tons of food, not just snacks but a big buffet. Also beer, wine and whisky. Hubby and I didn't know this so had dinner first. I only remember eating cake, cashews, one spicy sausage, chicken soup. Hubby also had the same things. But Im the one who became ill. 2am. Serious intenstinal distress, to put it nicely. Up and down until about 4. Obviously did not go the gym this morning.

Getting better now but still won't go out to dinner. So hubby went out for lunch alone and will also go to dinner alone.

I've been snacking here, no high fibre. toast, yogurt, cheddar on crackers, peanut butter on toast.

Hope to be back to normal so I can go to the gym tomorrow.

Progress as of today: 24 lbs lost so far, only 8 lbs to go!

It's Thursday here.

Did an extra gym day.

A couple were hogging 2 of the 3 cardio machines for too long. So I did 20 mins on the treadmill, then 15 mins intervals on the elliptical. My intentions were 15 mins on each machine. Doing my regular workouts MWF and at least two days a week extra for a while for extra cardio.

Long bike ride today. A few steep hills.

Menu:

B: porridge/raisins/soy milk, yogurt, toast, sm banana, tea
S: cappuccino, small very unsweet unfatty chocolate chip cookie
L: chicken, cashew, veggie stir fry, no rice, 2 beers
S: 1 beer (hey it's New Year's Eve!)
D: probably a green curry, 1/2 portion rice, something with alcohol
S: Party at our complex starting at 7. No idea what they will be serving - snacks? If they don't provide any alcohol, which I doubt, I'll have a beer or my bottle of mai tai.

Tomorrow: I will behave until I get below 140 lbs!!

Progress as of today: 24 lbs lost so far, only 8 lbs to go!

Horn_Of_Plenty on 12/31/2015:
Glad you enjoyed NYE! Yes, don't deny yourself a beer!

Nice meals. Love those Stir Frys!

Excellent workouts, too.

Good to be proactive and get in the cardio however you can while at the gym - machine hoggers are the worst!

grannyannie on 12/31/2015:
Enjoyed the party a lot!! Love the Thai people. 2 hours to midnight now but I'll be asleep before then. Too many beers and cake and pork and shrimp, etc etc.

OhioRaven on 12/31/2015:
Cheers

Wasn't good yesterday as I felt I deserved extra beer for all the hot exercise. Should have skipped beer number 2 and 3! I can feel where I've gained some back so need to catch it right now!

Going to do extra gym days where I do just cardio and no muscle work.

cybermom4 on 12/30/2015:
Thank you for your support. I enjoyed reading your posts. Especially your workout log. Thinking I may follow some of your at home entries. Great work! You have really come a long way.

grannyannie on 12/30/2015:
Thanks. If I could be as good with food as I am with workouts....

Horn_Of_Plenty on 12/30/2015:
but...muscle work is good.

but...I guess for short-term, cardio burns more calories.

Good idea on stopping most treats until you reach a certain weight. VERY smart.

Your plan is my plan for rewards after weightloss - I am thinking, after my sisters wedding, that i'm having two giant pizza slices for lunch!

grannyannie on 12/30/2015:
I'm not stoppping muscle work - I'd never do that. I'll continue muscle and cardio MWF, and then I'll do a couple of days extra where I just do cardio - like Thursday and Saturday.

Horn_Of_Plenty on 12/31/2015:
Oh....so you are amping up the cardio! Good deal!!! I support that for the resolve to burn more calories now.

Not going near the scale for a while. Maybe new year's day.

Long bike ride which included some hills and several hills that were so steep we had to walk our bikes up them. All this in hot sun and humidity. Peeled off my clothes when we got home and had to struggle to get my bikini on my sweaty body so I could jump in the pool.

Menu:

B: porridge/raisins/soy milk, yogurt, canteloupe, tea
L: stiry fry with veggies, tofu, cashews - skipped ordering rice
S: pack of crunchy seaweed, very small carton of chocolate soy milk
D: planning on ordering glass noodle soup with pork
S: apple

OhioRaven on 12/29/2015:
Nice bike ride. Struggles and all.

grannyannie on 12/29/2015:
Aye, thanks. Ending up adding in some beers!

Horn_Of_Plenty on 12/29/2015:
lol...pulling that bikini up over your nice lean legs doesn't sound too much a struggle! haha ;) Bike ride sounds like a major workout and the pool sounds amazing for cooling off! I hope you feel good this morning after that ride.

Glass noodle soup with pork sounds good especially on a day after a ride - replace some of the lost sodium from all the sweating...good stuff. seaweed too - great stuff!

have a wonderful day! healthy eats today.

grannyannie on 12/29/2015:
Wasn't as good as planned. Had some beers after a long walk. We're in completely differnt time zones so it gets confusing! I'm 12 hours ahead of EST in the US.

Horn_Of_Plenty on 12/30/2015:
lol i have been noticing this! :-D
