Tuscon

Thursday, July 15, 2010

Yesterday was a long day and we finally got to Tuscon at 8pm local time. Had something eat and crashed.

Today we're continuing our trip south and should be there late afternoon. Nothing like driving into San Carlos with the sun setting over the sea...

Trip south

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Later this morning we're leaving for a visit south... it will be an exciting trip as we're moving house. Lots to organize and sort out and we're taking a truck full again.

Last night dinner was great. Although it was pasta, the sauce was veggies in broth with a little ricotta cheese and there was salad as well. I'm down nearly another pound and I start my trip at 139.1!!
I'm so excited about my weight dropping but realize when we get back there will be a gain to deal with... if nothing else travel bloat which will be gone again quickly. it ws fun to pack some shorts I haven't worn in 3 years :)

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Ok, I've been watching way to much football (soccer) lately!!
But I feel like those mexican commentators when their team scores :)

Only this is soooo much better!! After trying to get back to 140 for over 3 years ) finally made it!!! YOO HOO. I'm definitely doing a Happy Dance (again) this morning.

140!!! I can hardly believe it and keep pinching myself.
We're off for a trip south tomorrow and I know that I'll be up when we get back.
My plan:
- make the best choices possible
- keep moving (yoga, walks on the beach)
- ENJOY!

That's the greatest news ever! I know how hard you had to work to do that! Just keep remembering how great you feel (and look) and keep that picture in your mind of that scale's number. And have a great trip! I'm on a 4-day birthday trip now...dh brought choc. cake, ice cream & took me out for a lovely dinner. So I shall bike & hike my little heart out every chance I get ... LOL ! Have a blast in Mexico! Report Inappropriate Comment

Congratulations! That is so awesome, you got to goal! And don't worry about your trip, even if you do go up a bit (and you might not, either), it'll come right back off when you get back. Now that you've gotten here, you are staying here! Report Inappropriate Comment

Monday weigh-in :))

Monday, July 12, 2010

WOO HOO this morning I was down again and I'm now at my lowest in over 3 years!!!

140.4!!!

Happy Dance.. (that's cardio, right?)

The weekend was quiet, ate on plan but didn't get a lot of exercise in. Still, I'm thrilled to finally see that 140 again! I came close nearly 2 years ago at 140.8 but this beats that :)
The coming weeks are going to be a challenge with a trip south - trips are hard on the weight - and we've been invited over for dinner tomorrow night. I normally eat my main meal at lunch, so that will take a bit of adjusting my day. Time with friends is important - more important than the number on the scale, so I'm not going to obsess, just try and be sensible...

Pictures of my new Birkenstocks

Saturday, July 10, 2010

As I mentioned before I never thought I'd EVER wear those "hippy sandals" thought they were ugly and clunky etc.. Things have changed over the years both with the shoes and with my life style. We somehow met in the middle and I'm a convert :)


Navy - soft footbed
My very first pair which made me a fan. The most comfortable sandals ever!


Tahiti Scatter Blue - original footbed
Love the straps, I wear a lot of blues and greens.
The footbed is not as comfortable as the soft one but still a lot more support than most of my other summer sandals.


Hibiscus white - soft footbed
Very comfortable and cute.

I did have a clear out and got rid of some old sandals which at the beginning of the summer I thought would do... they were too tatty for donation, so in the trash they went. I won't miss them!
