Still around. Afraid to get on scale. Been very weak-willed. Both guests will be gone Monday but then going to visit grandson on Weds for a few days.
Hope you all are doing well and getting healthy and fit.
I should be getting on the scale every morning to check on damage and to re-motivate me. Snacking and beer.
Workout at gym: shorter workout as gym was busy and I had shopping and errands to do.
Haven't counted calories today and we are going on a local brewery tour with nephew. I'll volunteer to be designated driver which means I can only have 1/2 pint beer. Beer is just about guaranteed to take any willpower I have to resist snacking!
Had early dinner with Ugandan daughter who was on her way to London but will be back to visit us on Tuesday. I had a chicken burger and chips and a beer. Before nephew arrived from London we went to the cinema. Had a regular size bag of peanut M & M's. 1/2 pint beer. Another 1/2 pint when nephew arrived. A piece of cheese when we got home with a G & T. Okay, two G & T's. Stayed up chatting until 1:30 am.
Plan on eating normally today - about 1400 calories.
Scale going down!
Challenge starts today with nephew coming this evening for a week.
Eating dinner out so don't know the calorie count. But I'm having my usual breakfast and lunch. Going to a movie before nephew's train arrives and I need to resist the urge to buy chocolate to take to the movie as is my habit.
Have a great weekend everybody!
Progress as of today: 29.4 lbs lost so far, only 5.6 lbs to go!
BTW, those were sheep in the first pic below? Thanks for pointing out the tree altered by the wind:-)
Skipped going to the gym. Housework to do and will do my muscle workouts. Nephew is arriving tomorrow and although he couldn't care less if the house is clean, I do.
Have a healthy day everyone!

Thanks for all the comments on my previous posts. We've been on our bikes again - Tues. and Weds. all day. Gorgeous sunshine. Didn't count calories of course but could have done worse on my food and beer. We did 38 miles the first day and 36 the second in a different area.
Back to normal today: no workouts but doing housework and already did grocery shopping. 21 year old nephew coming Saturday for a week, followed by Ugandan daughter on Tuesday.

Cals: 1334
Another drizzly day. But sun is expected tomorrow and Weds. So we'll be on our bikes tomorrow.

Husband and I decided to ride our bikes into town to pick up some groceries. Just over 20 miles roundtrip. Not hilly. On the way back we stopped at a cafe for tea, bacon roll, and a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer (134 cals).
Menu:
Cals: under 1400
Progress as of today: 27.2 lbs lost so far, only 7.8 lbs to go!
Lazy day yesterday. Guess I needed it. Scale back up a pound but still down from last Sunday. Will I meet my goal by August 24th??!! Yes, I have to!! And then I have to be in control while in the US for 5 weeks.
Would love a bike ride but showers are forecast this afternoon.
Have a healthy day everyone!

Site must have been down?
BBQ last night. Friends didn't serve until nearly 7:30 and I was STARVING. Had two small glasses of wine while waiting. Dinner was sausage, venison burger, chicken drumstick, sweet potato, bread, cole slaw, salad, wine. I chose the smallest wine glass for myself. No dessert and was offered 1/2 a Twix which I took. A few sips of a liqueur later.
I think I got dehydrated as very early this morning I had a horrible leg cramp. Too sore for the gym. Lazy day.

Cals: 1335
