    E~treadmill 30 minutes--oops, didn't get that in.
  • 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.

    S - Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup grapes

    S - Protein Shake

  • 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
  • Back under redline, but barely. Sticking with it today despite the ongoing cold/sick situation. Yesterday I did get through my cardio and lifting, but then I felt like poop, so perhaps today I'll go a bit easier.

  • 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.

  • 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.
