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!

Another bike ride photo. Isle of Tiree where we walked due to flat tire on husband's bike. Heading to a lovely and very long beach up ahead.
Progress as of today: 27.2 lbs lost so far, only 7.8 lbs to go!
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.

Progress as of today: 28.4 lbs lost so far, only 6.6 lbs to go!
Scale moving. Tonight we are going to a BBQ so there will be extra calories with meat and wine. M.o.d.e.r.a.t.i.o.n.
Doing a serious housecleaning today and might do upper body workout later.
Have a healthy day everybody!
Had a bit extra yesterday but still under 1300 calories. So no problem. Going to a BBQ tomorrow - a meat and winefest is what it will be. Need to stay.in.control.
I went grocery shopping today and I've been seriously missing my oatcakes so I bought a pack. They are very healthy but so tempting. So I'll have to be tough! Having those with pb after an intense workout is the very best reviver.
Workout at gym:
Not doing any muscle work today as I did upper and lower yesterday and my arms are a wee bit sore since I did no upper body work while we were away riding our bikes last week.
Didn't do my upper body workout yesterday, so will do both upper and lower today. Scale is down from Sunday by 1.8 lbs. so guessing it was fluid.
Menu:
Cals: 1136 - will probably add something else as I don't like to go under 1200

Thanks for the nice comments.
Oops. Friends stayed too long last evening so I had more wine that I intended. No excuses today. We'll be going to our friends' house for a BBQ later this week.
Going to ride my bike to the doctor's office to drop off my repeat prescription form for my allergy pills. It's about 9 miles roundtrip.

Argghhh. Gained 4 pounds.
Anyway, back on track now, although friends say they are dropping by which could mean some wine, but I'll just use a small glass for myself.

Cals: 1235 & wine

Thanks for the comments! It was too hard to post here with it being so hard to find wifi where we were.
We had a beautiful week with very long bike rides. But after a few days I began to overindulge. A scone and coffee or tea at a cafe on our midmorning breaks became a tradition. Also sweets and beer. I will get on the scale tomorrow to see what damage has been done. We got tired of eating dinner in and started going out to eat.
Tomorrow I'll be counting calories again. I will post a few photos after I resize them.
Progress as of today: 29.2 lbs lost so far, only 5.8 lbs to go!

Your pictures are so nice. Always nice to get out in the country side. Have a great day Annie
Thanks. Love the countryside and coastal rides, and especially the islands.

Wow ! Oh, welcome back to the US...in August ?
We go every year so I can visit my family. Granddaughters especially! This year will be 5 weeks instead of a month. Family is in Michigan but we'll also be go to New England - RI, MA, CT, and also Gettysburg PA. Eating out = massive challenge.

Sorry, but I'll miss you. Me and Puddy are going to Paris.
Ah, ya two timer!

Love your pictures!
Thanks! The great thing about going out on a bike or walking is you see more and can easily stop and snap a photo.
