Good morning all. I am still so glad to be done with that examination! Last night I worked late (groan) and then came home to pack my suitcase to head to NC tomorrow night to visit my family. I even went through my closet again and then I did it ... I watched TV! It was amazing! It was netflix really, but I watched Parks and Rec.
I am SO excited to see my family - my mom, grandmother, stepfather, brothers, their wives, nieces and nephews. My mother has emailed me to find out what foods she can get for me, and asked about fruit, hummus, crackers, etc. LOL. I wrote her back and said - its really just salad and lean meat, i've got the rest covered. She's uber-healthy so she gets it but there is always a lot of hanging out and snacking (albeit healthy stuff, not oreos). It is my first trip on IP to visit someone, so it should be an adventure, especially since its the south.
One last think I did last night.
I ordered a bikini. 
What am I thinking!?! It was inexpensive and I just
want to see what it would look like. I don't have any high hopes of "working it" anytime soon, but it will hang in my closet and be a motivator. I have had a bathing suit hanging there for years - seriously - years that I have never been able to fit. It fits perfectly now. So now I need to have a new motivation. So that suit will be put in its place. We shall see, right?!

Boo! to being sick, but hope you feel better. Your soup sounds good though. Its cold over here in SF this morning. I hope you are able to get some rest and feel better for tonight.

Congrats on the 1 pound loss! That's a loss regardless and should be celebrated! Congrats!!!

Woot! Woot! Congrats on the 3# loss! Awesome job. I concur on the 3FC as being amazing. There have been so many times where I think I would have been miserable for simply eating packet, after packet, after packet. But experimenting with all the different recipes, getting support, guidance, etc. has been amazing and so important.

Cold- yes. I have never been as cold as I have been on IP. I suspect it is sort of combination of losing fat + not enough "logs in the fire" (food) to adequately heat your body all the time. As for the loss v. clothes fitting better - you might be in a reshaping week. Don't fret the scale. We aren't here simply to have a lower weight on our driver's license. We are here to look better, feel better, etc. and if you feel those things - that's what is important.

Congrats. Make sure you are letting your body "heal" between workouts though!! That's crucial to allow the muscles which are torn to rebuild.
I just don't have the energy for work (nor probably the patience). Snuggling in my sweats feels oh-so-good. And I'm getting ready to have some of that soup for lunch. It sounds soothing.
