Ugh! I've been so hungry!! My body is wondering what's going on since it went from high calorie to low! Started snacking last night, nothing too bad - cereal bar, oatcake and low fat cheese.... went up to about 1700 calories.
Mid-morning today I got really hungry and started munching. Nothing bad in the house except baked crisps, but still too many total calories, especially since I can't work out yet. I'll be over 1700 calories today.
Well, I'll be back at the gym Monday and also doing my strength training at home, plus spin bike class on Thursday. So I'll get back on track. Healing well.
My photos from our trip are uploaded:

Progress as of today: 27.6 lbs lost so far, only 11.4 lbs to go!
I knew some of my gain was fluid and the scale is 2 pounds lighter than yesterday. That's probably about it for fluid gain though, the rest is fat. But it will come off. I'd like to at least get to 135 before our trip to France on Feb 20th. We are going for a week to visit friends....hubby's and friends idea.
Busy doing more laundry today, finishing unpacking, and sorting out the nearly 2,000 photos I took on our trip. I am uploading photos from our trip and will share the link here when I'm done.
I expect to be able to go to the gym on Monday. My knee is healing well but I don't want it to split open again by overdoing it.
Menu:
TOTAL: 1505
Progress as of today: 27.2 lbs lost so far, only 11.8 lbs to go!
Glad you're home and doing well!
Back home from Uganda!! We had such a great time and loved visiting our friends, going on safaris, and eating traditional foods.
But after 4 weeks away, I came back heavier. Not as bad as this hippo below, although I feel like it. I left here at 134 pounds since I'd gained some over the holidays because we had a houseguest which meant more eating out and beer. We arrived home yesterday and I stepped on the scale this morning. 141.6!! 
Yes, some may be fluid, but I am most definitely bigger.
I did my 45 min travel workout 3 times a week for the first two weeks and had worked out a 7th time. Then I was injured by a would-be mugger. I refused to let go of my handbag (I didn't carry a handbag except on this occasion when I was at a graduation party and was wearing a dress w/o pockets), so got knocked down and tumbled around resulting in a badly scraped knee and both hands. So, no more workouts while there. Still have a very sore knee and a wee bit of soreness on my hands still. I'm afraid to do any cardio as bending my knee too much opens the sore and my hands are too sore for weights. I am healing well though. So I'm hoping to get to the gym by Monday.
Menu:
TOTAL: under 1400
Progress as of today: 25.4 lbs lost so far, only 13.6 lbs to go!
Did my travel workout yesterday. But due to a bad tumble I took last night I won't be working out again until we get home. I'm sure I'll be fine by the end of the week but we'll be on safari and no time or place to work out. Banged up both knees and both hands but they will heal.
Food and beer?! No comment. But I am enjoying myself and have stopped stressing about it. WILL get on track when we get home.
Progress as of today: 32.6 lbs lost so far, only 6.4 lbs to go!
Did my workout again. This time with a fan blowing on me as we bought one for our Ugandan daughter one yesterday. If I can workout again tomorrow I will be at goal for 3 times a week for two weeks. I am sure I can do the same the third week but not the 4th.
Food. Beer. :(
Thanks for comments!

Hi ladies. Thanks for comments. Difficult to post on DD wih phone.
Did my travel workout today. So happy our room has a fan!
Really need to cut back on beer but hubby orders more and it is too easy to say me too. Hard to find healthy items on menus. Local food is high cal very high carb.
Missing my computer for posting although FB is easy and blogger not bad.

Hi ladies! We are enjoying Uganda. Except for chips (fries) my eating hasn't been too bad. Lots of high carb traditional food. Cold beer has been my big downfall.
Did a full travel workout today.
