*yawn!*

I'm tired. I've been in bed most of the day (or perched on a chair in front of my space heater in the craft room, but not really doing much crafting because I feel miserable!) and I'm still tired. Tomorrow I'm supposed to take Ellie to Erika's so I get some time to run errands, but I might not even feel like driving! I'm not sure which would be worse... driving around in my miserable state, or trying to fend off the cranky toddler at home who's been cooped up for too long. I'm hoping I'll feel up to driving. Plus, I have some things I REALLY need to get done in town!

As for today, I am not sure where I sit on the water front. I tried drinking a nalgene of water, and decided that it definitely has to be carbonated or hot for me to drink it. I just couldn't choke down plain cold water, no matter how much I tried! So I went back to tea drinking this evening, and I'm on my third or so mug of it now, and I think Leif gave me some tea this morning, but it might have been yesterday. It's all sort of running together. I did have some soda, as mentioned earlier, too. As far as I can tell, because the soda I drink is calorie free, aspartame free, caffeine free, and sodium free, it's just as hydrating as water, so should be okay. The problem with soda is the additives, but this stuff is pretty minimal.

For calories, points, etc., I am good. I'm a little low on protein (in the 30-40 range instead of 50-60) but I'm not too worried about it. Everything else is where it ought to be. I ended the day at 18.7 points, which I'm counting close enough to 19 to call good. I'm not in the mood for another. 4 bowl of veggie soup tonight, and I've got 1139 calories for the day. I'm good.

Speaking of good, let me say GOODnight. =D I'm tired.

I sure hope you are feeling better this morning. If not, maybe one of those errands should be to the Dr. to get a throat culture and be sure you don't have strep or something that needs some anti-biotics. Andy is coming down with a little something, but no fever. Are you still running a fever?

You did well yesterday. I probably would have soothed my throat with fattening things like ice cream, and just gained a ton of weight in one day. You did well!
