Full day in the city shopping. Lots and lots and lots of walking. I kept eyeballing certain treats and then telling myself 'don't do it' 'don't do it'. I had a cheeseburger with mayo and onions at 5 Guys at 12:30 and a diet drink. No fries. It was soooooo yummy! I broke down later though and bought a couple of Millie's cookies. I should have stuck to one. Looked up the calories online later and discovered they were nearly 200 each cookie!! I didn't time the train and ferry right so had to wait in town for my local bus for 35 minutes. So I had a pint of beer. Small serving of leftover curry for dinner.
Bought a bikini for Thailand in the same size as the other two I have. Didn't try it on as it wouldn't fit now! But it will fit by November or before that.
1200 calories tomorrow.
Edit: calculated calories for today. About 2200. Could have been worse.
Progress as of today: 17.2 lbs lost so far, only 14.8 lbs to go!
Just booked a hotel for Sunday night for our anniversary. Will attempt to restrain myself as far as food and drink.
Going into Glasgow tomorrow shopping. Have had a craving for a burger since we never eat them at home. Just might go to 5 Guys for a cheeseburger - no fries.

We often get good deals on hotels in Glasgow and like to make a night of a trip to the city.
Right! Back on track! I feel huge and I hate it.
My gym is going to be closed for expansion from Sept until sometime in Dec. We are in Thailand from end of Nov until 1st of March. So I'll have 3 months with no gym. Got my muscle work at home so I'll have to find different cardio workouts. My exercise bike, my 'real' bike, power walking, Tae Bo, jump rope.

I know what it's like to feel fat & hate it...that's the turning point when a person becomes successful at weightloss! so....sounds to me like you are getting back on track for real Annie Lady! :)
Nope. Haven't been good. Daughter arrived Thursday, we went on an overnight trip Friday which of course involved chips/fries and beer. Last night we went to friend's house for dinner. Far too much wine!
Daughter leaves for her island job tomorrow so I've got no excuses any more. Not sick, no guests, no travel. I do plan a shopping trip to the city one day this week and I plan on having a cheeseburger at 5 Guys. With mayo it will be about 900 calories. I won't get fries.
Our gym will be closed for a couple of months in the autumn for refurbishment. Not sure what I'll do. Of course, I'll have my dumbbells and ankle weights and floor exercises at home. There are still classes which have been moved to a different building, so I guess I could go to spin bike class 3 times a week. I could do Tae Bo at home, or go power walking.
Progress as of today: 17 lbs lost so far, only 15 lbs to go!
yes, overnighters are hard sometimes when indulging is such a tease / option!
Back from our trip to see grandson.
Workout at gym:
nice exercise. I hear tonic water is good for you? I was just talking about Tonic Water with my uncle at the rehearsal dinner!
Sigh. I seem to be hungry all the time. Going to stepdaughter's tomorrow morning so I tried on my jeans and another pair of trousers I wanted to take - too tight to even button! So I've got 2 other pair that still fit. Now my goal is for my jeans to fit!
Workout at gym: (the only spin bike in the gym is broken again!)

lately, I am doing seltzer and I sweeten the flavored seltzer extra with my no cal liquid stevia. it's working for this week.
Got on the scale. At least it didn't say 150+. Challenges coming up as well. Fri - Sunday at stepdaughter's house. In a week our Ugandan daughter is coming to stay for a week. Need to behave as sister is coming the end of May then mid June we go to the US. Got a wedding the end of July and I'd love to wear my favourite skinny dress, but if it doesn't fit I won't totally freak out. I'll just buy another one. 
Did all my workouts yesterday. Today is housework.

Congrats on the burgers now to the cookies....lol....beer....lol...we leave with great intention so funny how our brain works...lol you still did well. I don't think you should beat yourself up too much... Annie.
Thanks, Fran. Figured calories - about 2200.

that sounds like some of my faves - burger - cookies! You didn't have the fries and that counts toward the good! I tried on two bathing suits yesterday and got depressed - haven't worn one in YEARS I am going to look for a tankini at a better clothing store - I am so short waisted that the one pieces don't fit me right at all. I am thinking maybe a tankini will be flexible. Well, that and losing 30 lbs! LOL
I rarely eat burgers so it was a treat. I bought a bikini in the same style as one I have, just different colour and pattern. I wore only bikinis in Thailand over the winter. Tried it on at home and it will fit fine when I hit 140.

My post was almost identicle to yours, like looking at calories after the fact. Maybe I will try looking before I give in and eat something. I don't think I've worn a bikini my entire life. Great job.
On a normal day I plan my meals ahead of time, but shopping or travel is trickier.
Horn_Of_Plenty on 04/15/2016:
Calories are good ;)....especially for someone as active as you annie. food sounds great & i'd prob reach for chips or something later also. it's the bloodstream working everything out, in my opinion.
Keep up the good work. I am eager to watch your progress.
Thanks! Just bought a bikini and it WILL fit before I need it.

You always have a good attitude!! :-)
It's tough but I try to be positive!
