still sick, but planning to get back on track

Posted by: billie In: blogging helps

I woke up really sick today.  I just feel awful.  I did manage to weigh myself and i was down to 188.  I guess coughing burns a lot of calories.  So, since i am down in weight, i am modifying my mini-goal to losing 8 lbs in the next 3 weeks. I also want to try to get into exercising regularly. And, of course the main goal is to break the fast food habit, hopefully i will have absolutely no fast food for the next 3 weeks.  I think that will break my addiction and then when i get back to driving 40 miles to school every day, i won’t be tempted.

So far, i have eaten nothing today and it is after 3pm, i don’t even want any coffee today. Only water, it soothes my sore throat. Unusual for me, but i guess i’m all off kilter from being sick. In fact i slept most of the day so far.

I’m getting ready to have a muffin or two while the family and i watch Gremlins.  Haven’t seen that since i was a kid.

Update:  I feel a bit better this evening. We’ve watched 2 movies and now we are going to start a Mario Kart tournament. I just filled up at dinner, the prime rib was good warmed over.  We may have to make that a Christmas tradition.

Calories today:  2 fiber 1 muffins (196+196) with butter (20+20), a glass of tea (50), for dinner approx 8 oz prime rib (450) with 1 1/2 serv of home taters (170) made with approx 1 tbsp of olive oil (120), afterwards i had 3 chocolate truffles (300).  Subtotal:  1522 calories

Update: for a latenight snack i shared a large apple (110) with my dog. Day calorie total: 1632

cute. (sharing with the dog) Those truffles are good aren’t they? For me I was having some coconut truffle like candy. Boy am I glad they are all gone. No more for me until my birthday (sept!) There was 45 in a box and I ate that box up within 2 days.

Hope you feel better now.

I also liked gremlins as a kid. Never feed them after midnight! ;)

All this talk of families playing video games makes me wanna get a wii downstairs. Have fun, hope you beat them all!

No one can eat an apple in my house without sharing with the dog. She can smell it when you slice it from the other room, she’ll come running.
