Day 112

Feeling a lot better this morning in terms of my stomach. I'm still battling a sinus/headache thing which is making me not too hungry still but I'm trying to eat more today. 

I am very glad though that I am not entering the new year with high hopes of losing lots of weight and get in shape. I'm feeling great all ready!  A long as I don't gain back the five I lost this week, I only have about 8 to go to get where I want. And at this point, I'm not in a big rush to do so. Just as it happens by following the same plan. I know that it will happen at some point. 

December 31- 143

Breakfast- fiber one and tea

Lunch- quinoa and veggies

Snack- grapes

Dinner- salad with croutons, craisins, and almonds

So-- I didn't end up eating too much again today. I'm still not that hungry and the food that my boys ate just didn't sound appealing (which is sad because Moe's and burgers are two of my favorites). Here's to a betterd ay tomorrow. But it's another celebration day. Still praying for health among my boys. I don't real y want them to start it while we are there.  But what happens happens. Not much I can do to stop it.  But also praying for better health in the new year.  

Day 111

Still fighting and praying that the boys don't get this. Both of my parents have it now too. My dad seems to be having a harder time shaking it. But my mom really just started with it. Hopefully she can shake it before her birthday. I really just hope no one here gets it. It's out of my control other than to keep the house clean and try to keep my germs to myself. But I'm afraid that what's done is done. Hoping to eat a little more tomorrow. Nothing still sounds good. 

December 30- 144.4

Breakfast- banana and tea

Lunch- applesauce

Snack- larabar

Dinner- toast and pink smoothie

Day 110

I certainly wasn't expecting to be sick still. Thankfully my upper GI business seems to be done but now I'm having lower GI problems which is odd since I haven't really eaten anything in a few days. Hoping a day of the BRAT diet will help, but nothing sounds good to eat still. We'll see what the day brings. I'm pretty tired of being trapped in the house and am ready to have back some energy. This is getting very old. 

December 29-144.8

Breakfast- toast

Lunch- applesauce

Snack- peanuts and raisins

Dinner- pink smoothie

Exercise- cleaning up from the past two days?? At least I got off the couch more today.  I am very ready for all of this to be over and hopefully no one else gets it. 

Day 109

Let's see what today brings. I do know I will be drinking a lot of water. I am very dehydrated today and am dealing with the worst headache I have ever had. Hoping to eat something today. 

December 28- 145 (haha-- the only thing good from the whole thing. I know this will bounce back up soon)

Breakfast- toast and banana

Lunch- applesauce 

Snack-larabar

Dinner- chicken noodle soup (not at all a pink choice but it was the only thing that sounded good)

Exercise-- does getting off the couch count?? ;)

Day 108

I woke up this morning feeling a little off and it seems to have gotten worse as the day goes on. I got very nauseous during my breakfast and was hoping a nap this morning would have helped it but now that I'm trying to drink some water and thinking about lunch I'm feeling ill again. We'll see what the day brings but I'm guessing food is out for the rest of the day. 

December 27- 148.4

Breakfast- oatmeal

**a rough day that ended up with one bout of sickness and a lot of time in bed

Day 107

Well, I survived the holidays relatively unscathed. I feel very good about myself and feel like I was able to stay strong without being rude or looking ungrateful for the work and thought that went into the meals.  But I am certainly glad that it's all over and now I can regain some control of what I eat along with my family. I'm excited to see what the new year will bring for my health. 

December 26- 148

Breakfast- oatmeal and tea

Lunch- fajita chicken and peppers and quinoa

Post workout/dessert- pink smoothie

Exercise- phase two kardio (I did big girl push ups!!)

Snack- peanuts and raisins (I am very hungry today!!)

Dinner- roasted vegetables and quinoa

Day 106

That was a no fun little hiccup in this whole game, but watch out!  Cause I'm back in the game!!  It kind of makes me want to go exercise right now, but after 8 straight days my body needs one day of rest. I'm still impressed with myself for doing that. Hopefully I can maintain it.

On to Christmas celebration number 3. Thankfully we're with my family today and they support me a little more than my husband's. They just don't get it. There is no health conscious bone in there but they've never struggled like I have. I just wish they would try to feed my kids a little healthier though. But what happens when I'm not around, I can't control. Ok-- rant over. Time to move on and enjoy the day celebrating (in a healthy way)!

December 25- 147.8

Breakfast- fiber one and tea

Lunch- shrimp, carrots and celery, and fruit

Snack- green tea and Larabar

Dinner- prime rib and roasted vegetables

Day 105

Let's get this started. It should be a tough few days. I might just be hungry and have to deal. Again, this is my choice to eat this way and I just need to remember that. I'm still not sure why I jumped back up. There is no logical explanation. I've even worked out every day. 

December 24- 149

Breakfast- fiber one and tea

Lunch- carrots and banana

Dinner- ham, green beans, salad and strawberries and larabar

Day 102

Today begins what could be the toughest week so far. Lots of yummy food and celebrations and traditions with family. I just realized that I am going to have to deal with two days of saying no to good that people make for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Ugh!  Oh well, it will be all over soon. I will just need to mentally prepare and bring my own food. I've come too far to let a couple days screw everything up.

It's amazing what a couple pounds can do for my attitude!  Even better-- what dropping into the 140's can do for my attitude and motivation to keep at it. However, today is cookie day. Here's hoping the motivation can help me resist a cookie (or two). 

December 14- 149

Breakfast- fiber one and tea with almond milk

Lunch- salad with croutons and apple

Snack- apple

Dinner- pulled pork, broccoli and carrots, and pickles 

Day 93 & 94

I think yesterday was the first time in this whole process that I haven't blogged on time. Lots of times I forget to post at the end of the day but I have always kept track along the day.

It was back to work today. Thankfully it went really quick and I didn't hardly have time to think about food. But I ate what I took and drank lots of water.
