Today I am grateful for my warm, cozy home.
No workouts today but I did do housework and still working on laundry.
Menu:
TOTAL: under 1600 (didn't weigh the grapes so estimating)
Progress as of today: 36 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
Today I am grateful for my community!
Uh oh!! 
Scale creeping up due to snacking. Need to keep my eye on my next goal. Jan 8th we leave for Uganda for a month and I want to be at my ideal size when we go.
We went to a community meeting today about wind turbines which might be approved for across the loch from us. 5 big, ugly wind turbines 300 feet tall. An eyesore which would completely spoil our view and many others views, and would affect tourism in our area. Our community would not benefit except for a relatively small amount of money from the profits for our community. It's the community across from us who would make tons of money and not have their views desecrated. The turbines would also emit a low hum 24 hours a day. This area is dead quiet. You can wake in the middle of the night and hear absolutely nothing. Grrr..... Hope we can stop it!
Anyway, I didn't do my strength training yesterday so did it this morning.
Workout at home:
Menu: (didn't plan ahead but counted up after dinner)
TOTAL: 1637
Progress as of today: 34.6 lbs lost so far, only 4.4 lbs to go!
Today I am grateful for too many things to count!
Have a great weekend, ladies!
Hubby finally took a peek at our newly expanded and remodeled grocery store and he was impressed,especially with so many new varieties of veggies. He has stopped making fun of me for being excited over a supermarket! 
While he was there he picked up chicken breasts, various chilies, smoked garlic, smoked paprika and is putting all this along with onions and pumpkin into a tagine (Moroccan slow cooker) to slow cook all afternoon:
We got rained on at the bus stop this morning but by the time we got to town the sun was shining, and is still doing so.
Workout at gym:
Workout at home: (plan to do this afternoon, if not will do in the morning)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
I am grateful for many, many, many things!
30 mins spin class - intense!
I feel a bit cheated by not getting a proper TG dinner today. I picked up some nice roasted turkey breast slices and had a turkey sandwich - it was delicious. Also had a Kit Kat. And I'm finishing the bottle of wine I opened to celebrate hubby's birthday yesterday (he drank beer). Didn't count calories but could have been worse. I resisted temptation many times in the supermarket today. Our expanded store has a lot more choices in it now and I'm enjoying checking it out. It's our main supermarket in town and might as well be the only one.
I really need to behave myself - which I keep saying every day. Two days in the city next week where I will indulge, so I should be strict until then and afterward.
Progress as of today: 36.2 lbs lost so far, only 2.8 lbs to go!
Today I am very grateful for my wonderful husband who is 64 today but seems like 40!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US!!
No rain today! Supposed to get gale force winds and pouring rain tomorrow. Why does it seem to always rains on my grocery shopping day?!
Workout at gym:
Menu:
Mostly clean eating. Bought a bite sized chocolate covered caramel at the chocolate shop next to my bus stop. Having a couple of glasses of wine to celebrate hubby's birthday. But otherwise not bad.

Nice to have a subdued little birthday celebration--hope it was a good one!
Today I am grateful for the friendly peole in my gym (and everywhere).
Found out that my bus didn't come yesterday because our road was closed due to flooding. It was open later in the day though. If we had to get to town we could have driven the other direction but it would add about 15 miles to our trip!
Planned on being strict but for some reason I bought a big packet of Tic Tacs and ate them all! 
Also had some extra oatcakes and a skinny mocha that wasn't on my menu for today.
We bought a Kindle for our Ugandan daughter for her graduation gift and will bring it to her in January. I'm loading it up with lots of free classics as she loves those, but also choosing some others. She won't be able to purchase any books so we're trying to get it well-loaded up. We don't want anyone to be able to make purchases on it if it gets lost or stolen, so one-click ordering will be turned off and the password won't be known. She loves to read and while we lived there she borrowed every one of our books, including all the ones we picked up from our organization's library.
Today is normally a rest day but I went to the gym anyway. Had a wee bit of shopping to do.

Menu:
Mostly clean eating but should be around 1700 calories for today. Could be worse.

Today I am grateful for my warm, cozy home.
I went out in the wind and rain this morning to catch the bus to the gym and it never showed up. Never happened before. I guess the bus broke down or maybe the road was flooded. So I went back inside and dried off and did my workouts at home.
I've been doing too much snacking lately, mainly oatcakes or baked crisps, so I need to get tough. I still want to lose about 2 or 3 pounds which doesn't sound like a lot but I can definitely see/feel the difference. Goal: get back to 128 before we go to our overnight in Glasgow for a concert on the 29th.
Workout:
Today I am grateful that the sun has peeked out several times today. I'd forgotten what it was like!
Rainbows fade so fast, but I managed to get the end of this one:
Workout at home:
Today I am grateful for my good health!
We like to travel as much as we can while both of us are fit and healthy. Never know what the future holds!
Haven't seen the sun for days and days! 
Workout at gym: (I think 3 times a week on the spin bike is enough and need more variety in my cardio. I really should add the stepper and rowing machine but I don't like either one. But I'll give the stepper a try again.)
Wanted to do my home strength routines today but just felt too tired after lunch. Best to do it when I've got plenty of energy so I'll do it tomorrow - with lots of extra reps. Then I'll clean house.
Today I am grateful that our main grocery store is now done refurbishing and expanding and except for having trouble finding some items I really enjoyed my shopping today. 
(If you shopped in my town you'd understand. We only have this grocery store and a small/moderate sized store that I won't shop in - too expensive, little variety.)
Didn't post yesterday, but I did my full gym workout. Did some extra snacking and drank a couple of glasses of hubby's home brewed beer.
Today:
Workout: 30 mins spin class
Should have done my home strength routines yesterday or today but didn't. I'll do extra reps when I do the next one either tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning.
Mostly clean eating today but could have done better. Need to get back on track again. Still feel I need to lose a bit more in a couple of areas.
Next week my hubby turns 64 so to celebrate we're spending a night in Glasgow and going to a concert - Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto.
Progress as of today: 36.2 lbs lost so far, only 2.8 lbs to go!

How did the meeting go Annie? I hadn't thought about the low hum:( I often wake in the night and hear the huge vaccum clearing the runway at the RAAF base near us. For me though it is a comforting sound as we used to live on the base for three years. I can imagine that having living in the complete quiet it would be very disruptive to your peace and quiet:( I hope they will decide to build them somewhere uninhabited.

Just read your posting about the wind turbines. Hope it all works out for you. That would be an eye sore and you do have such a nice view. Good luck!!
