I can totally relate. I had a awful sinus infection for 2 weeks (no voice, sore throat) and took antibiotics for 10 days. Two days after being off the antibiotics, it came back with vengeance. I'm trying to get back into the Dr. today to get, at least, my ears cleared up before I fly on Friday.
I had a hard time finding sugar-free cough drops that were both sugar-free and not a lot of calories. Halls Sugar-free made with sucrolose (Splenda) are 30 calories each. I did find some at the organic grocery store that are made with sucrolose that are only 12 calories, but they don't really coat the throat, just keep the mouth watering.
I hope you feel better. Be sure to try and get some food in, even if it is just jello.

Crumbs.
Oh come on. As if that weren't enough, a gecko got through the crack where I didn't close the screen door; the cat's after it; and if it gets packed in the stuff I'm shipping to Berlin I'll be put in jail for introducing an alien species.
After, after thought. The gecko has disappeared. The 18-year old cat can't jump up onto the dinning room table (the only place his food is safe) because there's a box on the chair he launches from. But he tried. The packed box is now on it's side; the contents are akimbo; the cat's in a huff; and the puppy's barking his fool head off. I quit.
Oh, Linden, when it rains it pours. I feel for you. Our little furr balls can keep life entertaining, yet drive us crazy at times. I hope all this move hassle goes quickly for you.

aaww they're so cute. I don't remember the last time I tried it on, but its a Medium! I have bigger shoulders and always have to buy xlarge or large tops. Then I looked at my WW starting log from 2008 (only went to 1 meeting because I only saw the scale drop .2 pds. ) it said 187. I have not lost any since then just gained, so to see that I weigh less now then I did starting at WW back then is amazing to me.
I had a "peer pressure" moment this weekend. My friend brought mamosas and was trying to get me to drink them and kept asking me to. I just stood my ground and said I've come this far, I don't want to have a drink that will make me feel like crap waste that much money.
What an awesome NSV. Little boys can be so sweet and loving. My nephews are amazing like that too. It just melts my heart. Congrats on standing your ground with your friend, that alone is another NSV to have the will-power to hold your own against peer pressure.

Since friday which is a night I did a bad thing and cheated I have had horrible hiccups all weekend like cant get rid of kind, im drinking tons of water trying to rid myself of them i hold my breath all those crazy tricks they just come back! Could it be associated with IP!
If you are suffering from gas issues it very well could be the veggies and higher than your body is used to protein. Digestive enzymes work wonders for this. If you don't want to pay the price for the IP ones, GNC sells 100 count jars for around $12, currently on sale buy one get one 50% off. I use 1 at meals where it is just a protein, 2 at meals with protein and veggies. I had my gall bladder removed 4 yrs ago and they have been a lifesaver for dealing with veggies.

Your pictures has to be 110 by 150 pixels or smaller or 19.5 KB in size (whichever is smaller). If you don't have a good program for editing. Paint.net is a free program you can download. It has a great resize feature along with a way to see how big it is before saving it so you can downsize it as needed.
I packed a bar and some dill pickles and veggies. here's to week 2!
so STAYING 100% on track this week as I want to be in those '60's before xmas !!!!!!
So...I think I need a change. I've done Atkins in the past with great success, but eventually I miss my fruit, potato and nuts, give in and go completely nuts!
