I am recommitting after a holiday season that was a bit too indulgent. Today was my first weigh in over red-line, but one is enough! No more! Still fighting this awful sore throat/cold thing (I think it turned into a sinus/ear infection, and that's why it's hanging around), but all symptoms are above neck so exercise is non-negotiable.

B - Bagel thin pizza (bagel thin, part skim mozzarella, pizza sauce, turkey
S - Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup grapes
L - Soup, whole wheat roll
S - Protein Shake
D - Soup, whole wheat roll (I think Sarah is going to make a big pot of chicken noodle to drive the sickies away).
S - NSA Ice Cream

E - 70 min incline trainer, 60 min strength, 0 min excuses!

The first P90X meal that DD made last night was good, but way too salty. Regardless, my weight was down this morning, so no complaints there. I got a wonderful night sleep (first in over a week it seems) and that made my morning so much nicer. Funny how I don't get hungry as early when I sleep well. I didn't eat breakfast before leaving for work, but I have plenty here to eat, so I'm not worried.

B~small grapefruit
S~celery
L~turkey tetrazzinin (small portion), pear, yogurt
S~celery (I can't tell you how much I've been craving celery, very strange for me)
D~chicken something from DD's P90X meal plan

I logged my calories yesterday, and it came out to 1334, and I was wondering why I was so hungry but I figured it was because I'd been eating too much lately, so I went to bed to avoid eating anymore. This morning I realized I accidentally logged yesterday's oatmeal twice, and I actually ate more like 1100 calories yesterday. Oh well, weight is headed down so it's all good.

Wednesday 1/5:
B - oatmeal, raisins, ls jam, skim milk
L - leftover pasta and chili
S - banana
D - polenta with sausage ragu, broccoli
E - strength training at lunchtime

OP. Since the cold is not leaving, I am limiting my exercise today to walking the dog (60 min this morning) and some yoga. If I am feeling well this afternoon, I may do a few songs on JustDance, but that's it. Need to get well, seriously. I cannot deal with having this sore throat forever.

Sea of sick. Soup, crackers, tea, emergen-c. That's pretty much it.

I am worrying that I have a mild exercise addiction, because I know that I'm sick and should not be working out, but I feel so guilty for being a slug.

Today I will walk the dog. And maybe do some yoga if I feel up to it. And I won't feel bad about it, darn it.
