Weight: 140.8
Scale down 2 lbs from yesterday. Could mean it was fluid gain before or fluid loss yesterday. I ate 4 servinigs of fruit yesterday instead of two and paid for it with 'intestinal problems'.

Scale is still high. 
I leave for the US 2 weeks from today. Obviously won't lose 10 lbs between now and then. I have to at the very least be less than 140.
I'd better post all my foods on DD while I'm in the US. Embarrassment at eating/drinking too much should help keep me straight.

Not ready for the scale. Spent the day in Glasgow with husband's uncle who lives in a care home for those with dementia, and brother in law and niece. Went out to lunch. I was good and had a 423 calorie chicken breast burger with salad instead of chips. No beer. We got home late and hubby had the leftover curry and I had carrot soup, pbj toast, tomatoes, cucumber, and pears. Calories were about 1450.
Tomorrow we are going back into Glasgow to a hotel. Catching a very early bus Thursday morning for a 3 hour ride to grandson's house. Dinner will be at brother in laws.

Mornin', Annie. Slow and steady.
Doing fine, now OR. :)
Umpqua on 08/11/2015:
You are bouncing right back between your trips with good habits. I'm not recording my weight for a few days after this vacation - I "lost" 3 lbs last night, haha, and I expect I will lose more over the next few days with fluid and getting back to normal eating. At least the scale moves down for me sometimes ;)
I always wait to weigh myself as well. :)
thinkpositive on 08/11/2015:
Nice work, closer to your goal.
Thanks.
puddles on 08/11/2015:
Congrats Annie - Must feel good. Have a great day.
Thanks. But I'll see what the scale says tomorrow when fluid should be back to normal.
biscottibody59 on 08/11/2015:
Looks like you're on track to start your trip below 140--very nice!
Thanks. I'd be much happier at 135, but oh well. My own fault.
