Thanks.
I am STILL sick! Lots of phlegm, stuffy/runny nose, feeling very tired. Didn't even make it to the barn to see my horse. However, food wise I am doing quite well. Doing 1500 cals today, still have over 500 cals left to eat before 9pm. Had a busy day at work so worked off some cals, and a busy day tomorrow (plus have to go see my horse tomorrow)

Finished in my 1500 calories!! Wahoo!
I already have 300 calories "added" into my calorie counting app so that it shows my 1500 cals instead of 1800 cals. Then at the end of the day I delete the 300 calories I added but didn't eat. That way I don't have to think 'ok so it says I have 600 calories left, but I actually only have 300 calories left'.

I like counting calories too! It seems to work for me. No food is completely off limits. Like if I absolutely must have a cheeseburger (no very often though) I have it but I gotta adjust the reat of the days calories way down. Hey ...a cheeseburger sounds pretty good right now....anybody got one?...JK

Yeah, you want fries with that?
I suspect it's going to be pretty cold by the time it gets there via mail. You may want to shop locally in this case.
MRBB,
Hope the cold lets up on you. Sick sucks.

Thanks guys! Yes Brawny, I love being able to eat whatever I like. In fact, I stayed under my cals yesterday and still had a cinnamon bun! Yum!
So far I am doing great today food wise. Had a long hard day of work so got some cals burned there! And right now I have enough calories left to still have an apple before 9pm!
My weight really skyrocketed due to all the sodium from the weekend. I was over 149 on Sunday night and over 148 yesterday. Hope my sodium levels stay lower so I can drop that water weight (and of course I want to drop more actual weight) by Friday!

Made it under my 1500 calories again today! Almost forgot to eat my last apple!

My weight is slowly coming down from last weekend. It's coming off at a pound to just over a pound a day, so if it continues this trend I should be able to see actual weight loss by Friday instead of just water weight. Really want to get rid of this water weight before Friday, but my Pasta Sauce chicken I made is apparently really high in sodium, so will have to watch that for the rest of the day.

Thanks, I hope so!
Grr, this cold just will not go away. In fact, I think I'm getting worse.
Doing well so far on my calories. Still have a few hundred left to fit in some popcorn and apples before 9.

Finished up well on my calories! About 10 cals over but that's really not a problem! Go me!! One more day then weigh in day. Oh btw, I also finished under 2500mg of sodium, which I had been worried about going over with my pasta sauce chicken so happy bout that!

Today is gonna be a bad day. 
I worked till 11 then came home sick. I am already at 1800 cals for the day and it's only 4pm. And I can't seem to stop eating so I picture me hitting 2500 cals if I can't stop myself.

Hey Mystic - no worries on one-day with a bit more calories - maybe your body needs some energy to fight that flu...

...sorry U are still fighting that bug - maybe some hot tea...or some nice chicken-soup?... soup usually not too high-cal...and will help your sniffles...
hope U are feeling better soon , try & get some rest...
and glad to hear those water-weight pounds are coming off...
take care gal,
Maryann

Thanks guys! THe cold is still crappy. I think it's coming up to TOM so that's probably why I started to feel sicker again. However I am really happy with myself! I ate under 2000 calories today!! I totally thought I would make it to 2500 cals since I finished off 1800 calories by 4pm, so I am really happy with that. Weigh in day is tomorrow so I am hoping a bit of extra sodium and it coming up to TOM won't throw me off!
