Weight: 332.2
Total loss: 17.8 pounds
Ugh. I feel totally crappy. I've been home from work the past two days with my sinuses filled to the brim with snot, and now I am starting in on The Cough. Oh joy.
The funny thing is, when I am sick, a lot of times my appetite totally increases. I always hear from everyone else that they either lose their sense of taste/smell and/or the thoughtof eating is just not appealing. Not me! It figures that when I sick, eating makes me feel better. And it almost never happens that I lose my taste buds.
On top of all this, I am PMSing. That makes for a dangerous combination, methinks. So yesterday, we kind of had a cheat day. I got some pizza and some sweets (chocolate and gumdrops -- weird, huh?). I kept it at reasonable portions, at least as far as "treat days" go (more on those in another post), so I saw a marginal gain -- I was down to 331.6 yesterday, and up just about a half pound, which could be who knows what?
Today I had some of the leftovers, but I am still tracking my calories. I don't plan to go over today, either, but I have been eating junky foods. But really, who wants to eat a salad when they're sick? I want comfort food all the way.
*sigh* So anyway, it's been a rough past few days, hard to really keep up all the things I should be doing. But I'm into it. I mean, I am so close to the 320s now, and I wantto be there! Shoot, the other day I misspoke in a sort of sad way when I told C., "Hey, I am down to 131 now!" Obviously I meant to say 331, but that was an interesting Freudian slip.
I'm off to buy some nasal spray.

I just stumbled across your blog on half of me and it is terrific. Good luck on everything you've set out to do. I am in a similar space.. 43 and have about 140 to lose. Your musings on money and weight were as if I had written them myself. You may just inspire me to actually start my own blog.
Oh..and I am a HUGE buddy holly fan!
Awww! Being sick sucks. Totally get you on the confort food! Sounds like you're being controlled about it though - knowing the calories really makes you think twice before eating something, doesn't it?
Anyway, hope you're better soon.
Sarah j,
I'm glad you are enjoying the blog so far. I really underestimated how helpful it would be for me to write in such a public way about what I am trying to do, and I am so glad that it is getting out there and being read.
I plan to be around for the long haul, and hope you will be, too.
I know, isn't Buddy Holly great?
