Back from island. It was good to see daughter. She is so happy volunteering there and it's easy to see why. We did a ton of hiking on rough hilly ground, but also a lot of eating and beer drinking. I will update weight tomorrow but what I have listed now is low. I've really done it with the holidays this time! 
It's time to be seriously good!!!

Happy Sunday fellow health & fitness fanatics! 
Happy 8th birthday to my oldest granddaughter! About to Skype her.
Heading to Isle of Iona tomorrow and staying until Thursday. Seeing our Ugandan daughter after about 5 weeks! Baking cookies for her this afternoon. She is doing a presentation at the community about Uganda so I'm getting some stuff together for her. Probably won't post again until Friday.

For those with jobs......happy Friday!
It's gorgeous here - perfect temp and sunshine. 
If it would just do this all summer, every summer....
Back to the gym today. I don't feel like I've lost anything - no muscle or stamina loss. Didn't get to use the spin bike since the spin bike 'hog' beat me to it. Grr...
Updating weight tomorrow.

Back home! I love visiting my family but 4 weeks gets to be a very long time! Weather here is perfect. I went to sleep at about 8.30 last night and woke up at 10 this morning!
Stepped on the scale this morning but won't record weight until I weigh myself on Saturday morning.
While we were gone I went to 3 exercise classes with my sister, one spin bike class with SIL, and did about 8 or 9 of my strength routines. And we did a LOT of walking.
I had booked a spin class for this morning but just couldn't do it. Might do some of my strength routines this afternoon, but I'm busy getting everything unpacked. Did grocery shopping this morning and doing laundry now.
I've decided that when we are not travelling, or have guests, or are guests at our meat-eating friends house, I'm eating vegetarian. Not doing vegan again because it's too difficult - can't get soy yogurt here, and I do like to eat a couple of eggs every week. We have switched to soy and almond milk though.
I'll go to the gym tomorrow and Sunday. On Monday we are visiting our Ugandan daughter on the island she is volunteering on. We've booked a B & B for 3 nights. We'll do a lot of walking and I'll do some muscle work.

Hey thanks for the compliment, it takes a machine to know one ;)
Happy 4th of July!!
Our visit is going very well and we return home on Tuesday, arriving early Wednesday morning. Got my work cut out for me but I am enjoying myself.

Quick check-in as the granddaughters are due to visit shortly. Been good with workouts - doing muscle workout 3 times a week and added in some cardio. Been to two fitness classes with sister.
Having a great time seeing relatives, friends, being a tourist.
Food and drink. Pleading the 5th amendment on that one.

Happy Father's Day!
Been in Michigan since Tuesday night. Having a great time seeing everybody, doing touristy things and shopping. Won't mention food or the amount of beer consumed thus far! 
Been doing my muscle workouts at my sister's house. Also went to her over 50's fitness class on Friday and will go again tomorrow. Not nearly as intense as my usual workouts but still pretty good. Part of the class entails walking or running around the indoor track. I ran more than walked.
Just finished a workout while my sister and hubby were at church. Did my full upper and lower body routines that I do at home with the weights, mat, dumbbells, etc. Also added in jump rope, jogging in place and jumping jacks.
No beer today!
Shopping for clothes later today. 
Updated weight.
On our way into Glasgow to spend the night at a hotel, then flight to US tomorrow. I'll check in occasionally.
Have a spectacular and healthy week everybody!
Had a really nice dinner at our friends' house last night. They invited an Aussie couple who were guests at their B & B to join us and we had a big BBQ. We got home about 1:30am! Several glasses of wine but didn't overdo. Definitely not vegan or vegetarian any more!
Nearly packed for our trip. Getting the house very clean so it will be nice to come back to. Just taking my lunch break right now then back at it. Then my muscle routines.
We are spending tomorrow night in the hotel at the airport so it will be more convenient for Tuesday's flight. I'll do a final 'weight check' tomorrow morning.
