Was gone for my birthday Thursday and Friday. Had a good time. Too many calories, of course.
Grocery shopping this morning, tidying up and helping hubby who is now tiling the bathroom floor. Stuff all over the floor of my 'gym' so can't do my muscle work.
Menu:
Cals: 1331
Progress as of today: 19.8 lbs lost so far, only 15.2 lbs to go!
Busy yesterday painting but went to the gym in the morning first. Food was okay.
Working on the bathroom again today - wallpaper, etc.

Tomorrow we will go into the city and spend the night. Going to the cinema, a bit of shopping, maybe a museum.
Started coughing again so didn't sleep well. Skipped the gym but did my home routine for upper body.

Good workout at the gym. Still a bit of a struggle on the spin bike, but then I went for well over two months without doing such an intense workout. I was using treadmill/elliptical/bike at the gym in Thailand for cardio. Nothing beats a spin bike for intensity! Hoping I didn't overdo it as I'm still coughing and my throat is sore off and on (hopefully from the coughing, not an infection).
I've been drinking Schweppes Elderflower tonic water and it has almost no calories. I recently discovered I like gin and tonic, so bought a small bottle today. The calories for one shot are 61.

Love margaritas. Had quite a few different cocktails in Thailand. Something about sitting outdoors having dinner calls for a fruity cocktail, lots of ice and a cute wee umbrella!
Another good reason to buy a food scale (with grams) is nuts. I measure out walnuts and almond slivers on my scale at 10g total. 63 calories. Hard to be so accurate with a tablespoon or cup.
Busy morning! Went to the dentist expecting to get a cleaning but I was only booked for a checkup. Got some xrays to check on all the crowns I've got and dentist said I'm taking good care of them, no decay around them. Need to go back for a good scraping - lots of tea and coffee stains on my bottom teeth. Also I chipped a lower front tooth last summer and it looks like it a prime site for getting a cavity so that's going to be filled as well. So glad I've got an NHS dentist - very low price.
Then I got my hair cut and am very pleased with it. Then a big grocery shopping. All healthy, no tempting snacks.
Menu:
Cals: 1294
I'm excited as I've got another photo on a journal cover - my third. No pay. Just my name as credit and that's fine. It's from Brugge, Belgium last summer.
Progress as of today: 19.4 lbs lost so far, only 15.6 lbs to go!
I spent a lot of time in dentists chairs years ago, have all my teeth if you count crowns as my own teeth. And I'd like to keep it that way! :)
Hope everyone is doing well. 
Not 100% yet, but getting there. Went back to the gym this morning. Hope to get back to my normal intensity next week.

Good morning! About 80-90% well.
Didn't do my dumbbells yesterday as I got lazy. So did them today as well as lower body. I didn't want to overdo so did less of everything. Gym tomorrow.
The muesli kept calling my name and I didn't want to be rude 
I just had to throw the rest of it in the bin.
A normal workout is 4 sets of everything, and I'm sure I'll be back to that next week.

Glad you're finally recovering from the cold, etc!
Oh, and keep up the good work:-)
Feeling about the same as yesterday but do have some energy. Cleaned the bathrooms, doing some organising with husband's massive collection of t-shirts! And will do some of my upper body dumbbell routines. Don't know if I'll do my usual amount.
Stuck to menu yesterday although too many calories, except that I forgot about the popsicles I had and had the last two. So cooling on my throat.

Thanks for your good wishes!
Seemed like I coughed all night on Friday but last night was much, much better. I've just been doing the minimum housework - keeping the kitchen clean, doing laundry, and keeping things tidy. So today I dusted and hoovered the living room, washed the kitchen floor, and cleaned up the laundry room. That was enough. Bathrooms and bedrooms tomorrow.
I hope to get to the gym on Wednesday. Will try doing my upper body strength workout tomorrow at home.
Menu which I intended to stick to but husband brought me a bottle of ale for a treat.
Calories: 1511 + One bottle of ale - calories unknown
I've been missing the muesli I ate every morning in Thailand, so I stupidly bought some while buyiing groceries last week. It is soooo good but soooo high in calories. I measured out a serving size which is 45g and is a tiny amount. I probably ate 4 times that amount in Thailand almost every morning. So it wasn't just the beer, cocktails, and ice cream that put the weight on me! I've added my gram scale to the packing list for next trip to Thailand.
