I am getting a nasty cold! I have been trying to fend it off for days, and now that I am energized and motivated… WHAM: sick. I hope, hope, HOPE this is just a minor thing. It made the hour on the treadmill pretty rough. I am coughing and my chest feels tight and congested. 
Anyone know of any preventative remedies???
I’ll be just getting ready to leave. FOR HOME! We’ve decided we’re going home for Thanksgiving and I could not be more excited!!! That is 11 weeks, which if I theoretically lost 2 pounds per week, to lose 22 pounds. 22 pounds would put me where I was when I met my husband. It would be the weight I have been most of my adult life. Sure I want to lose 10-15 pounds after that, but realistically that is just gravy. 22 pounds would be awesome. We’re getting family pictures taken for my Mom for Christmas (since the 4 of us kids are never together at one time!), plus my best, best, BEST friend who I haven’t seen in almost a year and a half is gonna drive up from Houston and meet us there. She is just like another sister to me and my family loves her. We’ll have the customary Thanksgiving dinner, followed by the day after shopping, and ending the week at the OU/OSU football game! Did I mention I was a die hard Sooner fan?!? Anyway, so with all the shopping, I really am motivated to get back down to my normal 12 again. I think I could do it in 11 weeks. I am a mostly 14 sometimes 16 right now.
So… the plan. The plan is to stay within my points, eat my activity points that I earn ONLY if I am truly hungry, NO SNACKING, no using the 35 flex points, and at least 45 minutes of cardio 6 times a week, aiming for at least an hour 2 of those days. I am so motivated; I wish I could bottle up and sell it… I’d make a fortune!
And, in other news, I have been updating my weight on the WW site, and it never lowered my points. I should have gone down a point, at least that is what I thought by my calculations. So I went on the website yesterday and poked around for a bit, found a page where you take the points quiz, and low and behold: it lowered me down a point. GRRRRRRRR Why doesn’t it manually update that when you plug in new weight?!?!? I have been eating an extra point every day for 5 weeks (yes, that shows how slow my weight loss is!), which if you figure 100 calories x 7 days x 5 weeks, that is a whole extra pound! I just wanted to let you all know that if you rely on the website, be sure to update it in both places.
I fear Friday’s no more! BRING IT!!! Off to the treadmill now for a 60 minute plus super session! Have a happy Friday, chickies! :)
