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. 
Menu:
Calories: 1476
Progress as of today: 19.4 lbs lost so far, only 15.6 lbs to go!
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.

Thanks for your nice comments! Happy Valentines Day. Still sick and not counting calories but not being a total pig. 
I'll begin posting again when I'm well and counting calories and working out.

Good morning!
Still coughing a lot. Didn't have to blow my nose too often yesterday but woke up with it totally blocked. Arghhh. I snacked yesterday so went over calories, but none was junk as there is no junk in the house. My weakness is oatcakes (Scottish oatcakes - made with oats, oil, salt and 36 calories each). Healthy, but high cal if you eat too many.
Had to grocery shop today and did not buy any oatcakes. Got some ice lollies/popsicles as they sound nice for my throat. Also got some huge oranges as well as all the other fruit and veg.
Phoned the dentist to cancel my teeth cleaning appt. tomorrow.
Not making a menu plan today. I've stuck to calories every other day since being sick. So I'm just not counting today as it stresses me out to go over. Not going to be a pig either.
It's very foggy today although temps are mild so I'll cheer myself up with a Thailand photo. Me in the pool at a mere 7 or 8 pounds overweight before serious indulgences.
I love how the women wear bikinis no matter what their shape or size. And it actually is more comfortable not to have the wet material of a one piece around your middle.
Progress as of today: 19.4 lbs lost so far, only 15.6 lbs to go!
Cals: 1291
I'll see how I feel this afternoon and might do my upper body strength training with dumbbells.
Another Thailand photo: Buddha statues and images everywhere.

Ack. Feel worse again. It's in my lungs and has moved back into my nose. The sore throat which came back yesterday afternoon is better this morning though. I'm sure we've got more than one strain of a virus (googled and see it's quite common).
Resting. Reading. Internet, of course.
Menu:
Cals: 1340
Hope everyone has a good and healthy Sunday!

Resting. Husband is much worse than me with every symptom. I'm coughing with a slightly runny nose.
Scale went down nearly 5 pounds so I'm guessing it was fluid retention then loss. Maybe I didn't gain as much as I thought. Will see.
Menu:
Good morning!
Skipped the gym today as the cold I caught on the plane has settled into my chest, just like the previous one. Not feeling great.
I will do my muscle workouts at home tomorrow and try for the gym on Monday. Some muscles have that good soreness that means I did good workouts. Due to luggage weight I didn't bring my ankle weights to Thailand so those seemed extra heavy to use again.
Menu:
Cals: 1319
Progress as of today: 14.8 lbs lost so far, only 20.2 lbs to go!
Good morning! Husband and I both (re)caught a cold most likely from the couple who sat behind us on one of our flights home and coughed the entire 7 1/2 hours! Ack!
Workout at home (lower):
Thanks. I've got 6 1/2 months to reach my goal so have no excuses!
