Still runny nose and tired but making myself do muscle work today. Can't go to the gym with runny nose and don't want to spread around my virus, so unless I feel healthy tomorrow I'll do a cardio at home.
We'll arrive in Thailand 7 weeks from today.

Non-stop runny nose and tired, so could be worse. Bad enough that we had to turn down a dinner invitation at our friends' house tonight. They have two Australian guests and are doing a traditional Scottish meal in honor of St Andrew's Day today (national day in Scotland). :(
Haven't been counting calories but haven't pigged out and haven't worked out either. But strangely my belly is getting smaller. Not dehydation either as I've been drinking tons of fluids.
Sad news last night in Glasgow, the city nearest to us:

Progress as of today: 28.8 lbs lost so far, only 8.2 lbs to go!
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!! 
Still have a slight cold, more tired than anything. Just ate today and yesterday, no counting, no binging.

Hungry last night but only had a rye cracker. Ended the day at 1334 calories.
Had a teeth cleaning appt this morning and had to drive into town, so stopped into the gym for some cardio.
While I was doing an intense workout on the spin bike I was thinking how fantastic it is that I am easily physically able do this when I'm 'techinically' an OAP (old age pensioner). 
I've got a photo on my wall of my grandmother holding me as a newborn and she looks elderly, but I recently did the math and found she was only 57 years old!!

Edit: felt like I was catching a cold this morning and then exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks when I got home from the gym. Got that feeling in my throat and nose and have had a bit of a cough. Added some fruit and yogurt for extra vitamin C and after dinner had a whisky with lemon and honey. Mmm. Lying on the sofa most of the day. Might just stay home from gym tomorrow since I did do cardio today and will do muscle work if I feel okay. Maybe some easy exercise bike as well.

Had a few more calories than planned yesterday as I had fresh homemade bread instead of packaged with my soup. Had some celery for a snack in the evening and put a dab of pb on one of them. Ended at about 1350 calories which is okay for a good workout day but should have been less after 3 days of indulgence.
Thanks for your comments and birthday wishes for hubby! Had a nice few days in Glasgow, although his uncle was taken into hospital while we were there as he could barely walk (dementia and not eating enough). Looks like he'll be put into a home so he can be looked after 24 hours.
We saw 3 movies while in town - one each day.
Gravity in 3D - I would rate it 1 out of 5 - special effects were the only interesting bits.
Captain Phillips - I'd rate it 4.8 out of 5 - suspenseful
Hunger Games: Catching Fire - 5 out of 5
As for food and drink, no comment, but I very much enjoyed myself. Going back into the city to visit uncle in hospital tomorrow so that means eating out again.

Didn't do too badly yesterday. Had wine but diluted it with club soda. Didn't taste as good but had less calories. I don't think the cherry tarts were very high calorie so I did have one, and then one today. Froze one then dumped the rest.
Since we'll be in Glasgow I won't be at the gym Wed or Fri so went today and did cardio. I'll do a serious workout on Saturday.
I'm going to try to be really good tomorrow - no chips (fries) and one pint of beer - about 1500 calories. If I succeed, I'll allow myself more beer with dinner the next night which is hubby's birthday. A friend is joining us for dinner.
Strange to think that this Friday is the 50th anniversary of JFK being assasinated. It was the day after my hubby's 15th birthday and he said those in Britain were very upset as well. I was 11 so also remember it very well. In Feb it will be 50 years since the Beatles invaded America and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. Remember that very well. 
Seems remembering things well from 50 years ago would make me feel old, but it doesn't.

Just do it!!
Our friend, the one who loves wine and is a bad influence on me 
is coming to dinner tonight. Her hubby is in London on business for a week. I think she was counting on our company while he is away as she'll be a bit lonely (although she works long hours and has a long commute). But we will be gone to Glasgow all of Weds, Thursday and most of Friday for hubby's 65th birthday. I will go the gym tomorrow since I'll be missing it on Weds. I'll also do a good workout on Saturday to make up for missing Friday.

I bought rose' wine and some club soda to make a spritzer - less calories!

Don't know why I'm sabotaging my plans! I've done this before the last few trips. Not happy with myself at all. I do stick with my workouts but I can't seem to stick to my calorie plans for more than a week. Gained back the 3 pounds I lost last week.
I know I CAN do this. All I have to do is keep to calorie plans most of time. Workouts are easy for me to stick to.
Daughter went back to Uganda Wednesday (very tearful goodbyes at the airport) and we are crossing our fingers she'll get that visa to come back in Feb. No more sweets in the house so I don't have that excuse anymore.
Did my spin-a-thon last night for charity. 7 pm is not a good workout time for me but it was good anyway. It wasn't like a regular spin class as we got to sit quite a bit. A lot of the participants had never done spin before and were only doing it for charity so it had to be toned down a bit.
Going into Glasgow for two nights next week as hubby turns 65. Not going to any concerts but I've booked a movie for each day. And I WILL watch the calories.

Thailand - how lovely! Have you been there before? I lived there for a year and absolutely loved it! Hope you feel better soon.
Feeling much better. No haven't been before. Hub's niece getting married there so we are staying nearly 3 weeks. Where did you live? We'll be going to Koh Samui.
