My arms are a bit sore today so I'm taking a break. I would have done a cardio workout at home but we had the guy who is arranging our new heating system here all morning to take measurements, etc. I rarely do a good cardio workout in the afternoons, so I'm being lazy. I'll be back in the gym tomorrow as usual and will also do my full strength training workout at home afterward. I've booked the spin bike class for Thursday.

Playing around with my photos today and made this collage of an Oribi.

Happy Sunday! 
I will eventually get to taking a look at many of the blogs I missed while travelling to see how you all are doing.
I should know better than to buy cereal bars, even if they are only 70 cals each. I've been extra hungry and they are a temptation. So I just ate the last 3 of them and will not buy them again!
My hands are 98% healed. My knee is very, very itchy as it's healing and has a good, solid scab on it, so I'm good for exercising now. I'll just wrap the knee up well so my spandex workout capris don't rub on it. Husband gets the credit for my wounds not getting infected as he scrubbed the dirt out of them despite my screams! 
Intended Workout: completed

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.

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.

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

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!

Did my travel workout again today. Visiting friends who keep feeding usbig traditional meals and if we don't pig out their feelings are hurt.
Enjoying ourselves very much!

Thanks for your comments. I don't think I could do the swimming because of the resistance of the water. I cannot lift any kind of weight with my leg without feeling the pain in my knee. You know sometimes you just want to move something on the floor so you push it with your leg/foot - I can't do that I get immediate pain in my knee. It will work itself out. The doctor said could take a year or so before I can start see progress in that department. But I can walk without pain and that is good enough right now. Thank you for your concern.

Beautiful photos - I still need to catch up on your trip although I did see quite a bit of what you posted on FB. Have a good one!
Puddles on 02/12/2013:
Yes I do some of that but my weight is in the bottom part of me LOL LOL LOL. I don't feel like I am doing exercise when I do only that - but I guess I am. It is just not as satisfying.

Hi Annie,I love your pics! My cat almost has ears that big! ha,ha! When are you going to France? Will you visit the famous museum that has Mona Lisa? My singles group leader was telling our group last Wed. about his trip to that museum. He said that he found a blue hippo inside one of the display cases. He was attracted to it, and found more of them at the gift shop. He told us about how the Egyptians revered the hippos because they didn't have too many enemies. Crocs included! :) Anyhow, when I saw your pics of the hippos it reminded me of his story. I hope you have a blast!
