Took Brandon to the doctor, he has a virus going around. Almost like the flu but not, cuz it affects the upper respiratory (sp I've had spell check, check that today 3 times already. You think I would get it right) It's one of 2 viruses going around. Can't be around anyone for 48 hours. I think I ended up with the same thing yesterday. Because of him being achy, His back hurting, we did a urine test, no kidney infection. Good thing. He is sleeping. He could however, get a sinus infection from all of this.
As for the leader, i will take co-leader again. I don't have a problem helping out my chapter. But way too often people won't help. We have the same thing in our group. You get back, what you put in.
As for those that are strugglingl; Hang in there. You can do it. Make small changes. Maybe exercise a little more inside, clean the cupboards, clean the drapes, eat more fruit. Don't buy the junk, it does help. I had eaten some of the little guys cheese puffs (small chip bag), when i had started on the second bag yesterday, he informed me that that was my second one, and no more. I had told him that about the fruit roll ups yesterday. He actually had 3 of those. Funny how quickly they learn from you. Maybe i should go around the house counting and talking a lot to myself about picking up toys and things. Maybe he would catch on to that too. We also had mcdonalds yesterday. I did eat the fries, and I did have a big and tasty, but i had it with no mayo. That's where the extra calories are in that baby. I added mustard when hubby brought it home. I just didn't feel like cooking. Scale is still down, but i do need to get to work on some stuff. You all hang in there. Remember "Hand in Hand, Together we Can" You all take care, and remember small changes add up to big weigh loss.

Sorry you and the little one are sick, it can really play on your nerves and resolve... kids do learn a lot from our habits, don't they? Even more motivation for me... we're vegetarians, and that was our first step in trying to teach our daughter healthier than we were, I was raised in a southern bred family where everything was deep fried and or startchy, and love meant food, and Johnny was raised in a family where you ate all you were served...plus, gfor half of his life, both parent worked at McD's...oi, I would be three of me...lol

I am resolving to beat this fibro that I feel creeping up on me, and hopping on my recumbent for at least 20 minutes today, or maybe break out the pilates video, I've been slacking, slacking, slacking on my exercise...maybe I'll go out and start pulling my weeds in what's going to be my flower bed and in my herb garden area too...

Anyway, I hope you guys feel better, have... as good of a day as you can manage
