Thanks for all your trip wishes! 
Scale down more! Just need to keep from gaining more than 3 lbs while I'm away! 5 weeks. I'll still be posting.

For me, it used to be right around 125 that made me feel super...but now I weight 126...but I've lost a lot of muscle in my legs over the past 2.5yrs so I look bigger at my bottom half...i realize i'll just have to deal with it :) and work with what I have right now. :)
anyways, take lots of pictures and I can't wait to hear about your time in the...US right?...with your family.
120 lbs are age 40 was perfect.
Scale still creeping downward. Running out of time though. Leaving Sunday so won't be hitting 132.

Full workouts today and I'm finished till my trip.
Workout at gym:
Workout at home (upper):
Workout at home (lower): figured my calves, thighs and butt got enough of a workout this week that I did 2 sets instead of 3 on those targeting those area.
Scale still creeping downward. If I kept up all this activity and low calories for much longer I'd collapse from exhaustion! That's 3 bike rides, 4 days at the gym, home muscle workouts, one more day tomorrow and that's it till my trip. I was really pouring the sweat today with my cardio workout at the gym. No muscle work today but will do all of it after the gym tomorrow. Need to wash and pack a gym outfit.
I'm trying to figure out how to keep myself motivated while I'm away. Usually on holidays I'll be good for a short time and then I'll think f*** it, I want to enjoy myself and eat and drink whatever I like. Result: big weight gain. Maybe try to remind myself of how hard I've worked and what happened when I slipped up.

Workout at gym: really intense!
Lost a wee bit more! I might just make it to 137 before I go! That's the weight where I start to feel good - I can feel that my waist is getting small at that weight. We expect our friends to invite us to dinner before we go but we'll just have to tell them no thanks.

Workout at home (lower): I didn't do my abs yesterday as I was busy riding again. Won't bother with legs. Those are good!
Scale down!

Workout at gym:
About to go on same bike ride as yesterday: 15.5 miles with many 20% gradient hills.
Workout at home (lower): don't think I need to do the leg and butt workout since I'm getting a great leg workout today!
Scale is the same. Lovely day here. Sunshine again! Might have to get out on my bike.

Hi all! I guess it was fluid that caused the blip on the scale. If I could just get to 137 by next Sunday I'd be happy, but normally during a good week I lose 2 lbs.
Today I rode my bike to the supermarket in town to pick up a few items (out of fruit). Nice ride even though I'm on a few busy roads. And the sun is shining! It's nearly 20 miles roundtrip.
Stuck to calories yesterday and even did extra sets with my muscle workouts. No alcohol, no sugar until I leave on my trip.

Sigh. Scale keeps going in the wrong direction. A week from tomorrow we go into the city and stay at a hotel for my early flight on Monday morning to the US. Hubby will follow a week later.
If we get invited to our friends' house for dinner again, which I expect, we will have to come up with an excuse. We are also skipping the trip to the island to visit daughter.
Menu:
Cals: 1102 (might have to add something if I get too hungry but will keep it to 1200 total)

We went on our longest bike ride ever yesterday - 66 miles - pedal assisted electric bikes. Plans were to ride into Glasgow and take the train back but we decided to ride back as well. It was mostly bike trail rather than roads. Food and drink wasn't too bad but I could have been better. It was a long overdue sunny and warm day. We decided our limit should be about 50 miles, especially since all our rides are hilly.
No workout today as I'm just plain tired. I'll do all my muscle workouts tomorrow.

I missed your departure but it sounds like you have a great attitude going into this. I hope your travels across the pond went well! Also, I saw thinkpositive's comment below and absolutely let me know as well if you have time for a meet up in CT. I live relatively close to her and we have met in real life and I'd love to meet you too - I feel like I've known you for years :D
