I've been AWOL again. Time to behave again. I've got 3 bikinis I need to be able to wear by Dec 1st. Haven't been on the scale but I'm guessing I'm close to 160. I'll get on scale tomorrow morning. Clothes are too tight and it feels awful.
Had a houseguest for a few days last week (sis in law from Australia). We went to niece's wedding last Friday, then an all day party Saturday. I haven't behaved myself since.
Caught a cold sometimes over the weekend so now I've got a sore throat, cough, runny nose and lack of energy. Gym? Hope to go Tuesday. Weds. we go pick up a new car we bought, then sis in law returns for a few days.
Got a trip to an island with a online friend I've never met but have known for about 10 years. She's coming for a wedding so we arranged a trip to an island we've both wanted to visit.
Might do a short dumbbells and muscle workout today.
Threw out the rest of a pack of biscuits. So no junk in house. But there will be cocktails when sis in law comes back.

The weather looks great next week so we might visit daughter on the island - we'll drive to town and park - then take the bikes on the ferry, then ride the hilly 33 mile trip to the next quick ferry - then the small island. I've been wanting to do this ride - husband has done it a few times. This would not seem daunting before, would have felt like an easy trip. But after my weeks of being lazy it seems like it will be hard work. I'll just have to figure out how to use my new Go Pro video camera that straps to the bike helmet before we go!
