Dentist this morning and we were going into Glasgow right after to visit with daughter. But we got snow dumped on us and we aren't used to it. Road's a mess, the ferry is cancelled, the trains are not on time. So we came straight home.
I'm exhausted as I am still coughing, especially at night. It's drainage so I'm not worried that it's serious but think I'll make an appointment with the doctor. Somehow I managed not to have a coughing fit at the dentist's. Whew.
Not being very active is making me even more low on energy. Last gym visit was Wednesday, although we were out of town Thursday and Friday.

Progress as of today: 19.8 lbs lost so far, only 15.2 lbs to go!
Still coughing!! 
It's post nasal drip, so isn't necessarily that I still have a cold, could be the allergies.
No gym today. We went into the city to get the sink for the bathroom that husband is remodeling. New toilet, wallpaper, paint (except for the door), floor tiles are done. So sink, wall cabinet, and backsplash tiles are what is left. After we were done shopping we went to Costa Coffee for a cappuccino and a teacake. Got home and looked up the calories. Yikes! 300+ for the teacake, even before I buttered it! And it's just something similar to an English muffin with raisins.

Cals: 1591
Tomorrow we go into Glasgow to meet up with daughter, so eating out again. I will try hard to behave myself!

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.

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.

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:-)

I was fighting a cough a few weeks ago especially when my head was tilted back or lying down and same thing happened with me at the dentist. I almost canceled, but my cough mysteriously behaved the whole time--haha!
Hope you get it solved and can get some relief--take care!
Be careful in the weather there!
Thanks! Glad I didn't have to rearrange the appt. Our snow has melted and almost totally gone! :)

Hope you got a good night's rest and wake refreshed Wednesday morning.
Thanks. Only woke once with a cough, but not bad.
