Will catch up with everyone diaries soon. Getting settled in. Joined the gym and will start tomorrow. Bought a digital scale today and will weight myself every morning.
Breakfast: 2 rye toast w/unsweetened pb that I brought from home. 2 pieces is too much so I'll be eating 1 w/pbj from now on. Soy yogurt. Tea w/skimmed milk
Lunch: plain omelette, diet coke
Dinner: glass noodle soup w/small bits of pork, iced tea
No alcohol. Only on gym days. If I eat/drink right all week and workout, I might have one treat next weekend. Depends on how the clothes and bikinis fit. 
Progress as of today: 26.2 lbs lost so far, only 5.8 lbs to go!

Been AWOL. Busy packing and getting the house ready to lock up. 99% done with the packing now. Haven't counted calories the last couple of days, but didn't go overboard. Gym and home workouts Tues, Weds, and today.
Hope everyone is getting fit and healthy.
I will be checking in while we are abroad and will try to do it every day. I've got a log for listing food/drink/workouts/treats.

Scale creeping downward, but I don't think I want to get lower than about 137/138. More wrinkles are showing on my face! 
I'm certainly a healthy weight for the amount of muscle I have. Totally vanity that makes me want to lose more - a wee bit smaller belly for bikini and smaller boobs.

Isn't that just eggs ? Enjoy your new scale, Annie.
Thanks OR. Yea, just eggs but not scrambled, just no fillings.
Horn_Of_Plenty on 12/03/2015:
How long are you there fore again!? Enjoy.
Good job joining the gym. Will you be touring / walking around? Hopefully if the weather is nice, you can get out & enjoy nature instead of being stuck in the gym (except for weights & body work).
Very healthy eating, I would enjoy your menu...especially that darn diet coke....what pleasure caffeine gives :-) especially when you absolutely need it - like I did today lol...2 cups in morning....and def some other caffeine tonight before gym! lol. cheers to the gym!
enjoy your bikinis...so I guess weather is nice...now that I've read your entire entry :-D
enjoy Annie!
Thanks! We were here for 2 months last winter, but doing 3 months this winter. Going home March 1st. The weather here is mid 80's every day. We are across the road from a beach on the Gulf of Thailand. Have a swimming pool. Rented a car, have a tandem kayak, and are going to buy some bikes.
