Feeling yucky...

Yesterday I felt pretty yucky after my flu shot. So, unfortunately, I didn't get any exercise in. But I didn't get all my calories in, either, so it's probably a wash. I'm feeling better today, so things should be back to normal!

Sicko

Good news:

I'm down to 118.4 today! (weight)

Bad news:

I'm up to 102.7 today. (temperature)

It's the Weekend!

Well, it's the weekend. So we'll see how I do on the calorie front. Weekends tend to be hard for me when it comes to eating well, especially when we have company in town. There is always the temptation to go out to eat or, like this morning, have doughnuts for breakfast. So we'll see how it pans out, but so far so good. I'm under 400 calories so far today, so if I have a light lunch I should be able to have a decent dinner and still stay under 1500 for the day. I may even be able to keep it closer to 1200-1300. That's my hope at least. We'll see how it goes.

Yesterday was good. I ended the day right around 1200 calories (sort of iffy on the exact amount since I had some punch and I have no idea what the water/juice ratio was. It tasted pretty watery, so I think it was under 100 calories for 8 oz.) and I even got a walk in. I didn't figure up how much water I had, but I'm mostly chugging cranberry juice (mixed with Sprite today because I think cranberry juice is gross!) until this bladder infection goes away. Yes, I have a bladder infection. Turns out it wasn't the dandelion tea drink that made me so uncomfortable after all. But in a few days I should be off the antibiotics and off the cranberry juice and back to drinking water, water, water.

Sick

The calorie counting is going so far so good today. It even warmed up enough that I could have taken Ellie on a walk. Unfortunately, my temp is back up to 101 and the headache has settled in. So we didn't go on a walk. Ergh. I would just like to get better.

Now... what for dinner? So far it's 4:30 in the afternoon and I'm at 400 calories, leaving me with 800 for dinner. So... what for dinner?

Day 1. Again.

I think it's time that I admit that I can't lose weight without counting calories. And I can't count calories in my head. And so I am back to Spark People. Again.

I hate that I start and stop, start and stop... I'd just like to stick with it and get rid of the weight. I've been fighting with the same 5 lbs since January. Up and down, up and down. Just like a yo-yo. It's frustrating.

Today the sun is shining and I'd love to go for a walk. But it's supposed to be in the 30's all day and I've been sick. I've had a fever since Saturday. It was 103 Sunday. Yesterday it wavered between 100 and 102. Today it is 100 again so far. So I don't think it's a good idea to go for a walk in the cold. Probably not a good idea to go for a walk at all. I should take it easy. But I will record my calories starting today. Because today is Day 1. Again.
