Oink! Not doing well for more than about 3 days at a time. I should be motivated with this trip coming up in 3 weeks. For now I'm changing goal to a more realistic one - 135.
Baked banana bread yesterday - first time. Delicious!! Not low cal though with the butter and brown sugar.

That souffle looked yummy! Bt the way I've been meaning to ask you if your husband has any Irish ancesters? My mother's maiden name was Feely and her mother came from county Sligo in Ireland.Just curious. Hang in there! I'm having an off day with cookies that my husband baked!
grannyannie on 12/23/2013:
Hub's grandfather came to Scotland from Sligo. Maybe you're related!
grannyannie on 12/23/2013:
His name was Patrick. Don't know the year he left but he married in Glasgow in 1899. His brother emigrated to Boston.

Very well could be related ! I know the name was sometimes spelled Feeley or Feely. My grandfather's name was Peter and in a prayer book of his he wrote that he was from Drumahair Parish in County Leitim and he emigrated to NY C in 1905.
grannyannie on 12/24/2013:
Original spelling is Gaelic and some anglicized it to Feely or Feeley. So your Feely's came from Leitrim? I think all are related.
thinkpositive on 12/23/2013:
I think I got the spelling wrong- County Leitrim ? Also saw when I looked it up that it is near Sligo. My grandmother came from Sligo.

I will PM you on Facebook.

Going to be a quiet christmas again this year. No more winter trips to Michigan. Too cold. Too much snow. Too many people passing around illnesses from being indoors all the time. Just hubby and me. Workout at gym:

Teas & water & coffee w/almond milk
TOTAL: 1190 cals
Progress as of today: 29.6 lbs lost so far, only 7.4 lbs to go!

Was pretty good yesterday. Felt really hungry and had two extra oatcakes, so went to 1400 cals for the day.
Going to a party on a local ferry tonight - only about one hour and we'll have a drink or two. Then to dinner at a Spanish restaurant with our friends.

Nice to see a lot of you returning to DD! It was far too quiet here.
Stuck to calories the last two days since returning from our trip. Didn't do the upper body workout yesterday but will do it today.
Huge wind and rain storm last night, am sure it was gusting at least 80mph. Not really wanting to go out in it today even though it's not nearly as windy. Forecast for heavy rain and gales up to 90mph today.

Carrot and coriander soup sounds delicious! You are back on track!
grannyannie on 12/20/2013:
It was delicious - made it myself. :)

No gym today as I had a phone appointment this morning with the US Social Security Admin office in London. Did my application by phone. I'll be 62 in Feb! I'm not inclined to want to go outside today as it's very rainy and windy, so I'll do my sweating at home. I'll go to the gym tomorrow and get back into my routines.
L: hummous on toast, soy yogurt, grapes, clementines
D: Scottish Cullen Skink (soup made with smoked fish and potatoes, 3 oatcakes, salad, diluted orange/pineapple
Teas & water & coffee w/almond milk
TOTAL: 1210 cals
Progress as of today: 29.6 lbs lost so far, only 7.4 lbs to go!

I'm not far behind you in age Annie. I hope we're still friends, and you're still kicking Ass and eating porridge for many years to come. Have a Great Day !
grannyannie on 12/18/2013:
Aye, still pals, Ohio!! And I hope to be kicking ass for many years to come!

Good that you are getting your SS application going. Good job on the exercise!
grannyannie on 12/19/2013:
Thanks! Was surprised to learn that my husband who has never lived or worked in the US is also entitled as a spouse to 50% of the amount I'll get!

Not updating weight! Really enjoyed our visit to see grandson and hubby's daughter up in Inverness. As is typical, I overindulged. Back on track today. It's only 4 1/2 weeks to Thailand.
Isn't he a doll?
We got back at 8.30 last night so had to shop this morning as our cupboards were bare. Husband needed to buy some things to fix our leaky garage roof so I couldn't get in a gym workout and shop as well. Will do at least my lower body routines this afternoon. Tomorrow morning I've got my phone appointment with the SS office in London to apply for my social security from the US. So I'll either go to the gym in the afternoon or I'll do tae bo/jump rope at home.
D: husband doesn't know what he's making yet but I'll make sure mine portion is not more than 400 calories,salad
Teas & water & coffee w/almond milk
TOTAL: about 1200

He is so cute! So excited about your trip to Thailand! The only resort we went to was Phuket which was wonderful. Good to get back here- you were always so supportive.
