I would love to have one of those looks real good. Enjoy Annie

Thanks, I did! Treat next week will probably be mango & sticky rice.

12mi bike ride sounds wonderful & treat looks extremely tasty :)

how long are you there on vaca for & is that your husband sitting opposite from you?

all the food sounds extremely flavorful - not boring

grannyannie on 12/12/2015:
We are here for 3 months - Dec - Feb. Yep, that's hubby. He's having his usual cappuccino but it looks like his hand is on my glass. The food here is healthy, yummy and cheap, so we don't cook.

Haha! 330ml alcopop! (not quite 12 oz).

puddles on 12/09/2015:
Good job Annie

grannyannie on 12/09/2015:
Thanks!

Horn_Of_Plenty on 12/09/2015:
You are smart to be proactive and get that fan so that you can work out more efficiently. Smart thinking....

Anything we can do to make it so we can exercise more efficiently despite the obstacles is smart on our parts. nice.

grannyannie on 12/09/2015:
I just happened to notice these small personal fans when we were buying a second fan for the house. Glad I did!

thinkpositive on 12/09/2015:
Smiling at Ohio's comment ! Good job on your exercise!

grannyannie on 12/09/2015:

You sound like you are enjoying your time away Annie.

grannyannie on 12/08/2015:
Very much!

OhioRaven on 12/08/2015:
I had to look up the americano on the internet.

grannyannie on 12/08/2015:
Just a different kind of black coffee. I'm not doing the cappuccino or latte or mocha and Americano is zero calories.

Horn_Of_Plenty on 12/08/2015:
the snack of coffee and biscuits - was that before a workout!? that would give me a lot of energy for working out!

Lately, I grab some fruit, a granola-type bar, and some caffeine before my workouts. It's amazing how much stronger I am with the carbs & caffeine....not saying it's the best way, but it's in my newfound opinion - a good way.

grannyannie on 12/08/2015:
I leave for my workout at 6:45 and walk to the gym which is .6 mi away instead of driving, so that's my warm up. I don't have anything before I go. Up at 6:30 and then out the door. At home my workouts start at 8:45 and I have my porridge at 7. The biscuits are served with all coffees in the shop we go to - small cup with small savoury-sweet biscuits. No idea the calories. I'll take a pic next trip.

Monday - scale going down! My plans were to have 2 treats a week but I think I'll delay that until I'm at least under 140.

Very quiet at DD.

Gym day: it is still far too hot as the AC is turned up too high. So today I bought a fan small enough to fit in my backpack and I can plug it in right in front of where the dumbbell rack is. At least the air will be moving. Hate cutting workouts short because I'm too hot.
3 x 12 of 11 routines for upper body using dumbbells
3 x 10 lunges, side lunges, squats, calf lifts using dumbbells
15 mins intervals on elliptical
Back at the house: (with the AC on and a fan blowing right on me!)
3 x 10 abs, bridge, planks, push ups, triceps dips
3 x 10 ankle weights - glutes, thighs

Menu:
B: toast w/pbj, soy yogurt, tea
S: Americano with the wee biscuits they give you at the coffee shop, finishing with a small glass of hot green tea they give you to 'cleanse the palate'
L: scrambled eggs, toast, grapes, iced green tea
D: green curry w/tofu - I didn't ask for rice and neither did hubby, but the waitress thought I forgot to ask, so I took the rice she brought and had about 1/2, with 2 beers since it's a workout day

S: apple

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

grannyannie on 12/06/2015:
Not complaining. Was told it's been an extra rainy Nov & Dec. But today was sunny except for a short shower.

thinkpositive on 12/06/2015:
Hey, I saw the picture of the pool so things must have cleared up. Yes, I know the torrential rain that you mentioned. Comes with living in the tropics.

grannyannie on 12/06/2015:
Rainy season normally ends mid December. Forecast is sunny most of this week.

3 x 10 on lunges, squats, calf lifts with dumbbells

3 x 10 bridge and planks
3 x 10 glutes/thighs lifts with ankle weights - 3 routines
3 x 10 pushups and triceps dips

Menu for yesterday was:

D: pork with veggies on half portion of rice, 2 beers

I will list today's menu tomorrow as we always eat dinner out and sometimes lunch.
