Your scale doesn't look too bad, Annie. I see you bouncing back to where you are comfortable. Good attitude. I Like It !
grannyannie on 07/27/2013:
Feel best as I get closer to 132 or less. I'll get there!
hollybelle on 07/27/2013:
Ah, super cleaning! I haven't done it anywhere for awhile. I guess winter is coming so I guess I'll do it then. Good food and activity, as usual!
grannyannie on 07/27/2013:
Having guests always motivates me to get it done. :)
V on 07/27/2013:
Good news is you are closer to your goal weight so that is a success in my book!! Have a wonderful weekend, love ya Annie :)

Back online. Thanks for your comments.
Tuesday was a very long day in Glasgow. Eye exam and ordering new glasses took an hour. Then I had my hair chopped off. Looked for clothes but only found 2 sleeveless tops. I was good at lunchtime but then after my haircut I went to the cookie/ice cream right next door. Very small milkshake and small cookie. I keep trying to remind myself how fantastic it feels to be 130 lbs or less and how nice it was to enjoy having a treat with zero guilt. Got to get this weight off before my family comes in September so I can really enjoy an occasional treat/beer when we go out.
Wednesday the hubby and I went canoeing all day. Thursday was spin class.
Workout at gym:
30 mins spin bike
10 mins treadmill
5 mins rowing machine
2 sets of 12 on 4 resistance machines (upper body and back)
Workout at home (upper):
7 min video routine for triceps/arms using .5kg wrist weights

Sounds like you had a nice trip to Glasgow. I know what you mean about maintaining a lower weight so the occasional indulgence doesn't hurt as much. Hope you have a nice weekend!
V on 07/22/2013:
Hey Annie!! Just catching up on everyone's weekend and it sounds like you had a really good one.Well except for your foot, sorry to hear about that..Your daughter is beautiful BTW!
Have a great evening girl <3
Umpqua on 07/23/2013:
What beautiful pictures and I agree, your daughter is gorgeous. Looks like you're doing really well with the clean veggie eating and exercise. I hope you're enjoying your trip to Glasgow today!

No formal exercise today. Doing some housework and cleaning out my closet. Time to be ruthless and get rid of clothes I never wear.
Progress as of today: 25.6 lbs lost so far, only 11.4 lbs to go!
OhioRaven on 07/21/2013:
Yeah, get rid of those fat clothes.
grannyannie on 07/21/2013:
LOL, Ohio. Already got rid of almost all the fat clothes. These are just shirts and sweaters, etc.

Updated weight. No sense in crying about it. Just getting back on track.
I hurt the arch on one of my feet while hiking on the island - wore light hiking shoes instead of my big, heavy hiking boots. And I'm sorry I did. I don't want plantar fasciitis again so I'm wearing support sandals around the house and being careful. Won't do the workout I'd planned today but will do my lower body muscle routine.
A couple of pics on the island: our beautiful Ugandan daughter, and the Abbey

I hope the foot/arch injury doesn't keep you from your routine--thanks for sharing the lovely pics!

Back from island. It was good to see daughter. She is so happy volunteering there and it's easy to see why. We did a ton of hiking on rough hilly ground, but also a lot of eating and beer drinking. I will update weight tomorrow but what I have listed now is low. I've really done it with the holidays this time! It's time to be seriously good!!!

Warm and breezy and partly cloudy. So power walked/jogged instead of doing tae bo/jump rope inside the house. Supposed to cool off and get showery - just in time for going to the island to visit Ugandan daughter
Updated weight. Not as bad as I thought, but not good.

5 miles powerwalk with intervals of jogging - about 2 miles

Good job keeping it reasonable and enjoying weather. I DID get good price on the light install - IF he does a good job!!
grannyannie on 07/13/2013:
Hope he does. I'm really very grateful that my hubby can do all that type of stuff - electrical, plumbing, all diy stuff. (and he cooks - think I'll keep him). :)
