Hiiiiiiiiiiii Ladies,
Boy, Have I missed you all! It's been a crazy week. I think I last wrote on Sunday and I was feeling okay so I thought I kicked the cold. Anyhow, that afternoon I saw that my kitty was not doing well at all, very very weak. I didn't know what would happen during the course of the night so I called his doc and being the super guy that he is, he said bring him right down and opened the clinic just for us! He gave the little guy fluids and a new course of meds (diff. ones this time) and told us he would check back with us later at night and if he wasn't any better to bring him down and we would put him on I.V! What a good man! He has helped us many times. Needless to say, kitty improved a bit that night and we only had to give him fluids on Tue. as he became a bit dehydrated. He showed us how to give him fluids at home and I am so thankful for DH, I would of been a basket case doing it on my own.
So the story continues......lol. THat sunday was awful, we were upset and even got into an argument. I woke up that next day (mon.) sick as the dickens! Dh an mom convinced me to make a doc appt. so made one for tues. THat monday night, I didn't want my protein or meal plan at all and I went off and ate P! Yes, I don't even want to spell it. I was so miserable after and so so afraid of going off plan. I worked so hard and it took me soooo long just to get started again. I thought of you all and wanted to come and write but I felt too yucky.
The following day (tue.), I dragged my tail to the docs and it turned out I have bronchitis, as I suspected at that point! While I had to wait for my prescription to get filled, I went over to the neighboring supermarket and bought foods for my plan. Thank god for the roast chickens they cook there, that was my saving grace that night. From that day on, I have been eating foods on plan though not eating quite enough or enough veggies, just doing the best I can. I have been having a thomas whole grain eng. muffin past few days as I want something dry a lot of the time. In a nutshell, this past week my eating has been erratic! I weigh in tomorrow and as long as I don't have a gain , I will consider myself unscathed from this whole thing. Good thing I had trained my appetite the weeks prior or I would have probably eaten myself out of house and home by now!
Ladies, when you cook something sometime keep in mind to maybe make a little extra and freeze it for if something arises. It would be very helpful.
Hattie, congrat on getting that scale to move again! : ) wtg!
Urockmom and lene, I hope you got through TOM okay and are feeling well. Lene, that veggie soup you made sure sounds good my lady
. As for your recent post regarding eating etc., It shows how consience you are of what you are doing and I am sure you will succeed in your endeavors! Wtg on getting back on track and yes, one day at time! You can do it!

I am getting better by the way, last day of antibiotics is saturday and I hope to get out this weekend. I havn't been out to dinner in a couple of weeks and I am soooooooo ready for a night out! lol.
Talk soon, take care of yourselves
I really didn't want to but I found myself putting it in my mouth. At least I only had one! 
Hmmm, can I make it? IDK, it looks like it is going to be tough. TOM is around the corner and that is at best a stall. I am going to try to be really good this week. It will be a little easier as DH will be out of town and I tend to have a glass of wine with him in the evening when he is home. 
I am trying to get back into it using a modified C25K program and am supposed to do 3 miles today. We'll see how that goes.
My two week stall is gone! I have increased my calories from 1400 to 1600. I think that is why my body gave in to the loss. We'll have to see if it continues. 
, 10 miles 
, 45 mins 
. And, as TOM started this morning, it was not my imagination that I spent the whole day feeling like I was the Michelin man.
