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.
Workout at gym:
Menu:
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! 
Workout:
Happy Valentine's Day! 
Back to spin bike class today. All the snow that got dumped on us yesterday is nearly melted.
Workout:
Menu:
TOTAL: 1490
Progress as of today: 29 lbs lost so far, only 10 lbs to go!
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!
Workout at gym:
Intended workout at home after my lunch is digested:
TOTAL: 1524
Progress as of today: 28.2 lbs lost so far, only 10.8 lbs to go!
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.
Menu:
TOTAL: 1462
Playing around with my photos today and made this collage of an Oribi.
Progress as of today: 28.2 lbs lost so far, only 10.8 lbs to go!
Stuck to my meal plan yesterday, no cheating. Very busy today. First got my teeth cleaned, the gym, the post office, grocery shopping, and finally to the recycle centre.

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
Menu:
TOTAL: 1516
Progress as of today: 27.6 lbs lost so far, only 11.4 lbs to go!
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.
My photos from our trip are uploaded:

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.
Menu:
TOTAL: 1505
Progress as of today: 27.2 lbs lost so far, only 11.8 lbs to go!
Glad you're home and doing well!

UH oh.. I know how much you like the buttons..Well I am sure the price of chocolate in France may deter you from buying it there, LOL. I am sure you are getting pretty excited for your trip :) I am sure it will be a blast! RYC yes I am hoping for a little downtime ater I finish cooking and before I go over to my friend's.. All they want to do is play tag..LOL That is really refreshing seeing as though most kids would rather play computer games or veg in front of the telly.. I have a feeling i will be worn out later..Hahahaha..Have a great day Annie <3
