Today I am grateful for my sofa and good book!
Gym day but when I got there I started feeling dizzy or queasy off and on and also too hot. So I just did an hour and then came home. Hoping I'm not getting the flu that's going around. My appetite has not been affected as I just had a good sized lunch. Might do my home strength routines tomorrow and just lie on the sofa today and hope that I'm not getting sick.
Not a calorie-counting day today.
5 years ago today we left for Uganda to live for 2 years. 3 years ago tomorrow we left to come home. Here are the blog posts from arrival & departure if anyone cares to read them:

T minus 3 months and 1 week until we go back to visit! 
Today I am grateful for.....today!
This is a calorie-counting rest day (1400 cals). I will be cleaning the bathrooms and shampooing the carpets in them. I'm bugging hubby to rip them both up and put in floor tiles but it'll be a while before he gets to it. Otherwise, reading a book and relaxing.
I'm following US election news of which we get a lot in the UK, but not nearly as much as in the US. As a citizen I'm entitled to vote absentee even though I'm not a resident, and this will be my 4th election from abroad.

Today I am grateful for my sweet husband!
Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!
Due to yesterday's hangover 
which kept me from going to the gym, I did a home workout today. Not a calorie-counting day but will be doing clean eating. I've just discovered my supermarket is selling single serve bottles of Starbuck's Frappuccino. Love those! I thought they were really high cal but are only 64 cals! So I'm having one tonight with a rice cake for my evening snack.

Today I am grateful that I'm alive (I think!).
Today is an unscheduled rest day (aka hangover!). Husband invited friends over for wine and home brewed beer last night. I stuck to my menu all day, then 8pm rolled around. The men drank beer and the woman and I drank wine, lots and lots of wine. Ugh! I don't drink it often mainly due to the calories, so when I do I tend to go overboard, especially on social occasions.
Supposed to be a gym day but hubby has gone off to swim laps by himself. I've done a few chores after a long lie in bed, but I'm going to lie on the sofa shortly with my book. I'll do a home workout tomorrow including my strength routines and tae bo/jump rope and probably some time on my exercise bike.
Trying again for a 1400 cals day!
I expect to hear many wino jokes from hubby today. Groan...
Menu:
TOTAL: 1390

Today I am grateful for yet another day of sunshine! I am also grateful for the NHS (National Health Service) and that when I pick up my allergy meds today they cost me £0.00!
1400 cal day even though it's not a rest day. I didn't want to make both Sat and Sun 1400 cal days as I like one of those as a treat day.

Have a lovely, peaceful, healthy day ladies!

Today I am grateful that we have sunshine! 
Not a calorie-counting day, just using moderation and measuring portions.

Today I am grateful to be in a warm house while the wind is seriously howling!
Hope all of you are having a healthy week.
This is a non-workout, 1400 cal day.
Going to finish cleaning up the guest room and shampooing the carpet. Except for the 1/2 bathroom it's the last room in the house needing redecorating - wallpaper, paint, new drapes, carpet, built-in wardrobe and maybe a new chest of drawers--a complete overhaul. But clean will do for now.

Today I am grateful for my good health.
Went to the gym with hubby this morning (he does laps in the pool) and discovered it wasn't going to open until 10am since this is a public holiday. So we had to wait for 25 mins. Got most of my workout in though before it was time to catch the bus.
Due to my overeating all weekend (one day would be fine but not two!), I'm counting cals today. I've designated Sun (rest day), Tues (rest day), Thurs (30 min spin class) as my 1400 cal days. The other days I'll just use sense and still weigh my portions. Didn't count yesterday so doing so today. But since it's a heavy workout day I'm going to 1500.

Today I am grateful for good food, clean water, a comfy home.
Rest day (no workout, anyway). Got the pasta sauce made and the French bread started. My day to cook. But it's supposed to be one of my 1400 cal days, but won't work out that way. I'll make up for it though during the week.
Menu:
TOTAL: about 1700 probably 2000 - lots of parmesan, french bread, wine

Today I am grateful for living in a place with so much beauty!
A no-workout day and a treat day! Went to our botanic gardens to look for autumn colours (not much yet) and took some photos. Then had lunch at the cafe - jacket (baked) potato with shredded cheddar, salad, cuppa tea, and a slice of cake. 
They put a massive amount of cheese on my potato and when they brought it I thought there was no way I could eat all that cheese. Wrong! Cleaned my plate. Cake was a bit dry so didn't finish it.
Next I went to a place called Puck's Glen (King of the Faeries) - a very nice walk in a place that could make you believe in faeries! I hadn't been for a long time and was pleased with how easy it was to walk up all the steps and hills. Only got a bit breathless once and my legs did not object. Took some photos but many didn't come out as I should have brought along my tripod. It's also a dark place and hard to get the lighting right (and I don't use a flash!).
No calorie counting today but this will not be normal eating on a non-counting day! This was a deserved treat as the scale is nearly goal. 
Tomorrow is supposed to be a rest day and a calorie-counting (1400) day but it happens to be the day I'm making pasta and homemade French bread (giving hubby a break from cooking). Hard to eat small quantities of French bread and I'll be having red wine as well. So I'll have to make up for it during the week somehow.
Progress as of today: 38.8 lbs lost so far, only 0.2 lbs to go!
I think u dont need to worry, cuz u r almost on your goal weight, and as I guess you were walking a lot, so a little bit more food cannot be too bad. Have a nice weekend!

Wow uganda! I'm so impressed with how much traveling you do....Maybe one day I will do the same :)

Man,I hope you're not getting sick. Get plenty of fluids and be sure not to over-exert yourself on the exercise until you feel 100%.

How exciting that you get to visit Uganda again soon! I hope you can fight off whatever is ailing you, take it easy.
hollybelle on 10/01/2012:
I'm looking forward to looking at your pics soon. Just stopped by to say hello and I'm still around! Saw your comment about following the US elections. Exciting stuff here. No comments as I stay out of it. I have my opinions and I don't think I can change anyone else's mind at this point, anyway. Everyone is entitled to their vote and that's a great thing!
