Guess the 3.6 lb loss since Friday is now more than just fluid and is now becoming fat loss. My belly is a bit smaller. 
I'm anxious to go out and power walk or ride my bike, but still too chilly. I will power walk when it hits 10C/50F if it's not windy or wet.
Getting a new heating system installed in 10 days (air heat pump) so the house will be in a mess soon and cold while the heat is off. Our heating costs will be cut by about 2/3!

I wonder if you've got a super-duper, special jumprope? I'm not anywhere near fit enough to do it now--but I will be attempting it (again) in the future. I used to use a plain rope, but I have one with handles that I bought quite a long time ago.
Yes, I'm stepping on the scale every morning before breakfast. Helps keep me motivated.
Finished my blog and have uploaded all my photos:

Have an amazing and healthy weekend! 
Just posting 3 more photos of our trip:
Progress as of today: 22.6 lbs lost so far, only 16.4 lbs to go!
Thanks for comments yesterday! Went to the gym then grocery shopping today. No junk food whatsoever. I'm also trying to keep artificial and real sugar to a bare minimum. So I bought plain, fat free yogurt and raspberries & strawberries to mix in and will eat it without any sweetener. Didn't buy any hot chocolate mixes either - fake sugar.
I got on the scale this morning and updated my status. 
In the UK weight is measured in stones (14 lbs) and pounds. So I have to lose at least 1 stone. Goal is before May 1st.

Oh well--you had a good time and food--hope it's not too difficult to get back to your routine!
Have a great weekend :)
Hope all of you are doing well and getting/staying healthy and fit.
Back from France and had a fantastic time even though it was unusually cold. After the architecture and character in medieval villages, my favourite French thing is the gorgeous food. So with the weight gain from a month in Uganda and the week in France I've got quite a bit to lose. Don't know what my weight is but I can see and feel the excess. I won't change the number in my status until I weigh myself in a couple of days.
We stayed at friends' house in the southern Rhone-Alpes region of France, so is Meditteranean in climate and foods. Our host/hostess are fantastic cooks! Lunch and dinner were both large meals with wine served at both, and breakfast mainly being fresh French bread with butter and homemade jam, sometimes Pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant), clementines, bananas.
Some of the other foods we ate: many kinds of salads at both lunch and dinner, fresh French bread (white/brown/seeded) at all 3 meals
paella, prawns, mussels, scallops, squid, clams, chicken, guinea fowl, ham, sausages, tuna, mignon of pork, vegetable soup
varieties of cheeses usually served at the end of both lunch and dinner
fruit salads, crepes, potatoes, veggies
chocolate whisky cake, chocolates, nougat (the nearest town is the nougat capitol), real hot chocolate
beer, wine - red, rose, white, champagne, pastis (liquer)
Soooo......I'm back on track beginning tomorrow. Back to the gym and counting every calorie.
A few of the photos from our trip - we stayed in and were surrounded by medieval villages.
Progress as of today: 29 lbs lost so far, only 10 lbs to go!
Ugh! I've been snacking and pigging out. Way too much wine at our friends' on Saturday night. Tomorrow we go to Edinburgh to spend the night as our flight is early Weds morning.
Haven't stepped on the scale for several days.
Lovely day today. Cold but sunny.

Healthy eating plus I stopped at the chocolate shop to get a gift for our hosts in France and picked up a small bag of chocolate buttons for myself which I've already eaten. 
Going to have to get VERY strict when we come back from France!!!
Excited that the editor of a journal wants to use several of my photos for the cover!! I doubt they pay for them but that doesn't matter. To have something of mine published is reward enough. 
We are spending Tuesday night at a hotel near the airport and flying to Lyon, France on Wednesday morning.
Workout at home:
Sunshine today and fairly mild.
My brother happened to look at some of my recent photos that I posted on Facebook and complimented me. He said the editor of a journal he often contributes to is always looking for good photos and he gave her the link to my albums. She really liked them as well and said she spent a long time going through my albums. She chooses the cover for this quarterly journal. Soooo....we'll see what happens!! Excited!

It has not stopped snowing since I got up this morning. It's about 35F here so it's very wet, sloppy snow. Our area of Scotland does not get much snow, so it's a big deal here.
Back to the gym again and there was a lot of huffing and puffing on the spin bike, more than pre-Uganda trip, but I'll get back to normal soon. Not looking forward to spin bike class tomorrow!

Glad to hear our weight continues down and yes I agree now turning into fat loss! I think heating costs cut by 2/3 is worth a short period of cold and mess... Heat is EXPENSIVE!!! Your menu and workout looks great!!!
I saw you post on Umpqua's diary that you used to be a vegan too, I did as well, but it is HARD!!! Are you still vegetarian? Or eat mostly vegetarian??
supercheese on 03/04/2013:
aww yay for losing belly fat :D !!
Umpqua on 03/04/2013:
Good going on your loss, you'll be back down at goal in no time. Maintaining is the hardest part - it always has been for me!
