Okay, I'm back! I got in early Sunday morning, and haven't done much more than sleep and lounge around since then. I have to venture out for provisions, though--nothing much in the frig except ice water and catsup. i'm feeling much better, but still with a lot of sinus congestion and a constant headache. But I'm finally on the mend, I think. I haven't been able to workout since last Monday. My weight is still at 226
which isn't so bad, considering a 10-day trip and being ill, but that's cold comfort after getting the year off to a fast start. C'est la vie--I'll take up from this point and do my best.
Penny, keep tweaking your diet to make it work for you! My fingers are definitely crossed. I have given up most dairy, which I used to have a couple times a day. But shellfish? I don't think so. A small box from Pike's Market in Seattle should arrive tomorrow, with salmon, halibut and scallops.
Nikki--hope I didn't give you whatever I have
. Congratulations on continuing to lose the wieght. A romantic weekend...do people still do stuff like that?
Carol, it seems like the tremendous snow up there hasn't slowed you down a bit! And you seem to be doing really well with your intake despite your busy social schedule and many commitments. I do't think wonton soup is bad at all, just some broth and a little protein and dumpling. The only worry I have with Chinese food is the salt content, but that's oday too if you balance it out in the course of hte day.
Suzanne, how nice that you have to keep changing your ticker, that's a great problem to have to figure out
.
Marie, I hope the party went well! And congrats on the loss, despite the odd Dorito.
