CAN IT BE?

I am still sick today. Ugh. I hate being sick. I'm such a wimp when I am, and I don't get anything done. And I don't have time NOT to get things done this week!

I weighed myself this morning, and I'm back down to 118.0 today. Now is the telling part... we'll see if I am back up to 120 in the morning! The last two times I have made it down to 118 I have jumped up two lbs the next day. Here's hoping I don't do that again!

On the positive side, though, in an effort to get something done today, I pulled out my dresses to find something to wear to Protocol next Friday. I was pretty afraid I would need to find time to go buy a dress, since most of my dresses are too big (which a good thing) or too small (which is a bad thing)! So I grabbed the two dresses I thought would work style-wise to try on. One was an 8 and one was a 4. I remember the 8 being a tad too big last year, so I set myself up for the impending disappointment and tried on the 4. And.... IT FITS! I'm shocked! The last time I tried to wear it, I practically had to squeeze myself into it, have Leif fight to zip it, and then I couldn't sit down! This time? I got it zipped myself without any problems! Hooray! I'm so excited.

I'm having trouble staying on track eating today, though, because I'm on my 3rd day of soup and tea and I'm just plain tired of it. So I ate some baked beans (which have higher points!) and some fruit snacks (only 50 calories, so 1 point, but they at least have Vitamin C) and I've been drinking pop. I'll have to work to get my water in, but the carbonation just helps clear my throat so much better! So... I'm fighting with it right now. Mostly I'm just fighting with everything because I just want to feel better! (Wow, I'm whiny, aren't I?)

OH
MY
GOSH!
A size 4 is well beyond even my wildest dreams! I am indeed very impressed!

Hard to keep up the dedication when sick! Soup and tea are boring. You can have other things and manage with points. The only thing that would worry me is the pop, but I'm a bit of a freak about pop in general, so I'm always giving it a bad rap. Just keep your calories and points under control, and it won't be terrible if one day you don't meet the other nutritional goals.
