Back later........
Progress as of today: 22 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!
Groan...... I've got a cold. 3 whole months in Thailand and no cold or flu, but 3 days after coming home - horrid sore throat, runny nose, sneezing. Not counting calories today either. Or exercising. Sigh.
Anyway, hope everyone is getting fit and healthy.
I increased dumbbell weight on a few routines while in Thailand. So I've ordered heavier dumbbells for home.

Still feel a bit like a zombie. Wake up early, then feel tired in the afternoon. Jetlag is tough. Planned to count calories today, but ate breakfast too early which throws me off for the whole day. No junk food in the house, but I did give in and bought a chocolate bar when I went shopping. Had some wine last night. Hope to be on a schedule next week.
Still not completely unpacked but I've done tons of laundry.

Not getting on scale until I'm sure water loss or gain won't affect it. Probably Saturday. Was going to start calories today but jetlag makes me extra hungry at different times. Woke up very early and had breakfast. Then was hungry by 10. 7 hour time difference!
We flew on Monday and spent the night at Dubai airport in the hotel. So Tuesday we woke up about 4:30 (not on purpose) and had breakfast at 5 - cereal, yogurt, fruit, doughnut, toast, a pastry, then ordered an omelette. Oink. Then on the plane we had a light breakfast - croissant, fruit, yogurt. A big lunch later, then after landing we had a second lunch/early dinner about 2pm. No dinner but did have some snacks and beer.
Weds: went home after spending the night in hotel. We woke up about 5, watched tv. Were planning on going to restaurant when it opened at 8 for our breakfast, but discovered the hotel served breakfast at 6:30. We'd never tried the buffet breakfast at this hotel and it was gorgeous! We got there at opening time so all the cooked food was fresh and hot - they even had warm pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant). Pigged out and skipped lunch. Grocery shopping after we go home. Curry for dinner.
Jetlag is going to take quite a while to recover from. 3 months being 7 hours ahead will take time to recover from. Planning on gym Monday.

WELCOME HOME :)
Sorry I've been AWOL. Was sick, then better, then sick again. Now I'm fine. Had my birthday yesterday and had a nice lunch and dinner as well as a massage in the morning after the gym. Planned to go to this gorgeous Belgian chocolate cafe today for a decadent treat but we had torrential rain so we didn't.
Busy packing to go home Monday. Need to get everything packed up to store for our return here next winter.
So I'll be tracking food again when I get home - probably starting March 3rd.
Hope everyone is well and getting fit and healthy.

Enjoy your last couple days!
Can't figure out what I ate or drank that caused this but I've got 'intestinal distress' aka 'skitters'. After dinner last night we picked up a 4 pack of beer and some Pringles. Maybe too much fat in the Pringles? I was fine at the gym this morning but after breakfast it hit me. So I'm staying in all day. Poor hubby has to eat lunch and dinner out by himself. He brought me some salted almonds when he went to lunch. And I'll have him bring me a pancake/crepe with banana and Nutella. So my electrolytes should be fine with the salt, potatssium and sugar. Not much food in the house - just breakfast stuff.

Started seriously vomiting. Hubby went out and got me Hydration packets.
Tuesday
A bit better this morning. I'm definitely empty. Only got up twice during the night.
Progress as of today: 17 lbs lost so far, only 11 lbs to go!
skitters?
Planned to kayak today but the water is a bit too rough. Guess we'll just clean it up and dry it and get it ready for storage. I'm not a last minute person so I like to pack well ahead of time.
As usual biked to lunch and dinner.
Menu:
Not surprised at what the scale said this morning. Not going to stress. Much.
I'm enjoying myself but my belly is growing very quickly. I can't go too far overboard though as my trousers have to be comfy when we fly home. Tight clothes on long flights is NOT pleasant!! As soon as we get home I'll be seriously on track. Sister coming end of May then we are going to the US. Then a wedding in July and I want the dress to look good.
Started packing my suitcase today and not surprisingly I've bought too many gifts. Going to be a tight fit and I hope it's not overweight. We're allowed 30kg with Emirates. 7kg for the carry on.
Then I have to pack our crates but that has to be the day before we leave - household items, tools, personal items, some of the clothes we'll only wear here, scale, whatever leftover shampoos, soaps, household stuff is left, etc etc etc. We'll be storing 2 large crates, 1 large suitcase, 2 bicycles, inflatable kayak in one of the crates, and also the paddles. Not too expensive to store here and one crate is no charge since we're booked for next winter.

Still not going near the scale!
Massages this morning. Glad I got hubby to finally try one. He'll be going for his third one next Friday with me - our last one before we leave Thailand.
Not being good today. Usual bike rides to lunch and dinner.
Menu:
Birthday in a week. Can't decide where or what I want to eat but it will involve cocktails and dessert.
Progress as of today: 21 lbs lost so far, only 7 lbs to go!
I want to know what hubby thinks of the massage. I am so lucky in life to have experienced GREAT massages (and affordable too!). I've experienced both bad and good so I know the difference!
Rode bikes to lunch and also dinner. A few hills, one very steep.
Massages tomorrow morning for hubby and me.

DANG !
Aye. Sucks. And hubby has the flu.
OhioRaven on 03/07/2016:
Double DANG !
We can suffer together. LOL. I'm anxious to get to the gym, but not until I'm 90%.
innerpeace on 03/07/2016:
Get well soon! Take care of yourself.
Thanks.
Horn_Of_Plenty on 03/07/2016:
LOL...so crazy you are sick! :( you needed a long rest anyways...but feel better soon!
Must have picked something up on the plane. Jetlag might lower immunity.
hollybelle on 03/07/2016:
So sorry. I can't count the number of times I've gotten ill coming back from a trip - go figure! Hope the good health faries come soon!
Thanks. Airplanes are a hazard to your health!

hollybelle on 03/12/2016:
You doing OK? Hope you are feeling better.
Slowly getting better. Not counting calories, not exercising. Sigh. I've been drafted to go to a quiz night tonight.
