January 31 - Day 14

I totally sucked at posting last week. In fact I barely even tracked my food. I was sick a few days and did not much but lay on the couch, sleep, watch movies, take the dog out and eat.

All of that aside, I lost 3 pounds last week! Yes!

I have a fridge full of deliciousness, some too naughty, but I've been trying to eat in moderation.

Does anyone read this? I feel like I am talking to myself and only myself.

Back in the Saddle Again...

So I didn't reach my 10 pounds before New Year's plan.... but I also didn't plan on being sick with whooping cough for several weeks. I'm still coughing, and therefore not exercising much yet.

I slacked a lot over the holiday in regards to counting points and being "good" when it comes to eating... I returned though, to Weight Watchers on Wednesday for the dreaded weigh in. I gained 4 pounds since just before Thanksgiving. I'm ok with that.

I'm trying to get back in the swing of things again with eating right and hopefully exercising a bit more.

I got a Wii Fit for christmas, and have had a blast playing with that.

It's going to be a good year, I know it. I feel hopeful about a lot of things, including being more healthy.

Cheers!

Sick

I'm sick of being sick.

I've basically been sick since November 20th. Today is December 9th.

I have gone through 15 days total of 2 diff kinds of antibiotics, 2 bottles of robitussin DM, a few doses of Delsym, A box of sudafed, a box of mucinex dm, a maintenance inhaler, a rescue inhaler, my daily clarinex, about 10 doses of my breathing treatment/nebulizer, prescription tussinex, and prescription robitussin w/ codine.

....and I'm still coughing.

The doc is treating me for whooping cough now. They haven't said I for sure have it, but have said that most of my symptoms are the equivalent. Either way, it sounds like I have about 6 weeks of a terrible cough ahead of me.

I am feeling a little more human today, which is good. My energy is slowly getting better too.

I haven't been to weight watchers since I've been sick.... and am thinking about going today, but I'm not sure. My scale at home says I have been at about the same weight the past few weeks, I'm just not sure if i'm up for it yet.

Anyway - just thought I would update.

On a good note, I have lots of healthy food in my fridge and am eating some great things. Even when I haven't been hardcore losing, I haven't gained... so there's that, at least.

Updates

I have been sick since May 7th. It has not been fun. A few weeks ago it was strep.... then it was allergies, now I'm being treated for Bronchitis. Awesome. I got a steroid shot and a new round of antibiotics, so hopefully I will be feeling great again soon.

On a good note, I went shopping on Saturday, and bought some clothes a size smaller than I have been wearing for a few years. I am beyond excited... especially since they are a little roomy already! YES!

I also got my bike via FedEx last week. I ordered it from OC Beach Bike It's all put together and ready to roll. I can't wait to ride it! I need to feel a little better first though before I venture out. The basket and lock are enroute from Amazon. YES I am going to have basket, don't knock it.

I skipped Weight Watchers weigh in last week, because I wasn't feeling great. I'm ok with that. I don't expect to have great numbers on the scale, since I have been laying in bed for a few weeks. No matter what, it is ok, and I'll pick back up soon enough.
