Started the week out well by getting under 140. But the last few days have not been great, but I'm not worried. We stayed up all of last night to watch the UK election returns. Of course there was snacking - mostly toast, oatcakes, almonds. And tea, coffee, beer. 
Finally went to sleep for a short nap about 6:30 am. So I'm tired and do not have the energy to do any workouts. I didn't intend to stay up all night and thought I'd be at the gym this morning, but couldn't pull myself away from the tv.
Not counting calories today but I'm keeping things under control.
Progress as of today: 27.4 lbs lost so far, only 7.6 lbs to go!

Missed posting yesterday but went to the gym. Felt due for more calories and did some snacking, but not too far overboard.
Today I have a sinus headache but I'm sitting in my workout gear waiting for it to go away so I can do my muscle work.
Calories will be under 1500.
