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.

Not going anywhere near the scale for a while!
Loved our 3 nights at the resort on the private island! Decadent!!
Highlights:
The dinner on Sunday:
Several Mai Tais and beers
Cashews and peanuts
Pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant)
French toast
Cappuccinos
Fresh fruits
Club sandwich with fries
Caesar salad with chicken
Amazingly except for the tiramasu with the set meal I never ordered the brownie or the ice cream (but I will have dessert on actual birthday)
Kayaking, beach walking, swimming, snorkeling, reading under an umbrella on the beach and by the pool
Progress as of today: 21 lbs lost so far, only 7 lbs to go!
Cycled to a luscious chocolate cafe. Got there at 11am so had dessert first, sat on the lovely porch and then had lunch there. Cycled to dinner. I am not behaving myself, but plan (key word!) to behave after we get back from our 3 day trip. On my birthday in two weeks I will treat myself and 3 days later we go home where I'll start counting calories again.
Menu:
Tomorrow (Sunday) we are going to a small private island for 3 nights which only has one resort (37 villas) and no residents. I will not bother recording what I eat and drink.
Progress as of today: 21 lbs lost so far, only 7 lbs to go!
Got on scale. I'm positive it's muscle gain....yea, yea that's it...muscle gain.
After the gym and breakfast, hubby and I went for a massage. I finally talked him into getting one. He enjoyed most of it and he's going back with me next Friday.
The resort we are going to Sunday for 3 nights does not have its gym built yet. So no gym until next Thursday.

Tomorrow: gym then massage. Saturday: checking out a gourmet chocolate cafe. Sunday: start of a 3 night luxury island trip!
Progress as of today: 23.4 lbs lost so far, only 4.6 lbs to go!
As usual bicycling everywhere. Probably a good thing we gave the rental car back. We get even more exercise. We've had very windy days so haven't been out in the kayak for a while. Might be able to tomorrow. Crossing my fingers the weather is good when we go on our mini-holiday next week. Maybe 3 days without cycling will help my ankle. I suspect that's why it's still sore.

Finally looked up this place that we pass all the time. For some reason I thought it was only a dance studio with an usual name. Nope. It has chocolate. Probably a good thing I didn't know this earlier. I'll be visiting, probably Saturday. Bad bad girl.

Haven't been on the scale lately. I'm sure I'm about 145. All belly and boobs.
Rode the bike to lunch and will also ride to dinner.

Took some pics at the gym yesterday and forgot to post them:

You look totally different with your hair back! I think it makes you look younger! Also, I think the workout outfit is very youthful and nice on you.
The squash dish sounds so good! Squash is so healthy.
Being so active is so good for you. You are a great inspiration for me.
I would feel awful if I stopped working out.

Balance meals .. keep going

Sorry to hear about the kayaks.
We'll give it one more try tomorrow, otherwise it's getting deflated. We did have a good time on two days in real kayaks on our wee island trip.

Monday and Tuesday dry days... lol sounds reasonable. Enjoy your day but you are probably late afternoon already.
That's what hubby does at home.
We are 12 hours ahead of EST.

yep, smart to have it packed & not rush at the end!
Too stressful to wait until the end. Not just the suitcase, it's all the other stuff.
