Thanks, Mandy! I really appreciate the support 
Speaking of being sick...well I have definitely come down with something. I have a bad sore throat and a horrible cough. I haven't been able to eat all day. Oh and I am ridiculously bloated for some reason. Not sure if it is connected to being sick or what, but I am smart enough to know that I have to listen to my body right now. I am shifting my focus momentarily from weight loss to overall health...whatever that means. I can't really exercise much right now. Every time I do so much as try to talk I go into a coughing fit.
So for hopefully only the next few days I am going to be solely focused on getting lots of fluids and rebounding from this. I have a feeling that once I do get back on the weight loss wagon I'll be back with a vengeance!
I think we are going to go get some soup tonight. I had about 6 cups of tea and a cup of water at work today. I think some chicken noodle soup is just what I need right now
When I do get better I have decided that I want to look up a recipe for salmon salad to take for lunch. I've been craving it all day.
One last thing...I really don't want to do this, but I promised myself at the beginning that I'd be honest not only about the ups but the downs as well. That said, I was back up to 157 lbs this afternoon Will update my ticker to reflect that.
Hope you are all having a health-filled day!

Hey sweetie, sorry to hear that you are sick - I hope you are feeling better already!!
I m craving everything - ugh!! It's bad.
I did have Mexican last weekend too!! IT WAS AMAZING!! Tacos & some sort of flan (since I still cant have chocolate!!) - oh & frozen margarita - yummy!.... I did juicing for dinner though...
Salmon salad is so easy to make - just flake the salmon in a pan - you don't even need oil - if you start off slowly (low heat) as the salmon has plenty of fat. I usually just add some pepper & toss it into my fave salad!!

Justina - Thanks for the tips on the salmon salad recipe. I definitely cannot wait to make it.
Cory - Thank you for the encouragement. I realllly need it right now, lol.
Soooo. My healthy lifestyle has been very disrupted. Sorry for being MIA. I did not leave forever...I am just super super super sick. I seriously thought I would be better by now...but I am worse. It is horrible...can't breathe, can't sleep...had to come home from work today.
But even as much as this sucks, I am still dedicated to healthy living and weight loss. I have no idea where the scale will be when I step back on it...I'm not even worrying about it right now. I just want to feel better.
Hope you are all well!

I hope you feel better!
Thanks you guys!
Well I woke up feeling quite a bit better this morning so woohoo! I'm at about 85% now which is way better than where I was yesterday and the few days before. I'm a bit stressed because I had to leave work yesterday, but at the same time I know that there was no way that I could have stayed so...it happens I guess. I probably can't do strenuous exercise right away but maybe if I rest another day or two I will be all better!
Sadly, according to the scale, I am back up to 158 today! Blah...but I will stop it there before it goes up any more. It just sucks right now...but thankfully it is only three pounds I guess.
I know that I have lots of catching up to do on diaries. I promise that I will get back to all of you guys asap.
Thank you again!

So feeling even a bit better this afternoon. Had a great, productive day at work. I need to get back on with my juicing...it has been a few days. I was too sick to even get up and make one so I am definitely due! As my Friday "treat" I am going to stop off at Trader Joe's and the co-op and stock up on alllll sorts of healthy stuff.
I hate that the scale has inched back up, but I think with the new challenge starting soon, and me finally feeling a bit better, I will be back on track in no time. I really want to get out and go for a jog...hopefully the temperature gets a bit warmer. The 10-day forecast shows nothing about 40F but I could go out for a jog if it hit 40 or if the sun is out. At least for a brisk walk.
My big overall *fitness* goal is to start jogging religiously, lol. I used to loveeee to run, and would run 6-8 miles each day. I miss the feeling I got from doing that, so that's where I want to be!
One slight positive of being so sick the past few days has been my fluid intake lol. Never have I drank so much water and tea in one day!
Hope you are all having a great day!

Coconut ice cream...that sounds absolutely delicious!!!!! Thank you for the continued well-wishes. I'm still not 100%...was up a lot of the night coughing but certainly still better.
Pfft. I am fighting with my scale. I am down to 157 this morning which of course is great that it is going down. I just feel like it is playing games with my heart
Woohoo Friday is here!!!!! Hope you all have a great weekend coming up. Cannot wait for the new challenge to start! It is exactly what I need right now!

Yes, today is challenge day!!! You should allllll join! I will still be rooting for you, Justina! Even though we are not on the same team. I want everyone to win!
Thank you for the continued well-wishes! I am definitely on the upswing here. I'm not sure I should do anything too strenuous for exercise yet but I am up bright and early, and the day looks so peaceful outside. I think that I will go for a nice long walk this morning. I definitely want to get outside.
Went to TJ's yesterday. Was kind of disappointed...they did not have my organic kale for some reason. But oh well, I will go to the co-op later and get that and some other things I need (Ez. bread, cucumbers, beets, celery). It is funny how different two stores can price the same thing. I did find a 4lb bag of organic oranges from TJ's for pretty cheap. And I got tons of salmon! Woohoo. I also got some quinoa to try and make something with it. Heh. We will see.
Oh and great news, I am back down to 156 this AM. Woohoo. It is odd that I just gained a few lbs back when I was sick. I woke up this morning really confident for some reason that the scale would be back down, and I was really pleased to see it so.
Anyways, that's all for now! Time to go on my walk. I'll be back later to catch up on your diaries!
