GET WELL SOON GIRL!!I really admire you for trying to get that exersice in even when your feeling BLAHY I feel lazy sometimes and can't make myself get past 5-10 minutes and I am not sick lol(knock on wood)Have a nice relaxing get well of a day Tammy
Well, today is another rest day for me. Now I know I am really sick. Geesh I am usually the healthiest person in my family and here I am coming in and out of doctor's offices for the past month like it was a candy store.
Anyway, I am not sure how long I can stick it out at work today, yesterday was a nightmare. Today is worse, now my throat just hurts so much it is torture to talk and my chest feels somebody is sitting on it.
I have not exercised since Wed. morning.. but I hopped on the scale this morning and it said : 144.2???. I think I just got rid of all that water I put on the last week.
Thursday
I don't know who said when you are sick you don't have an appetite. Well, that Urban Legend does not work for me. I got home yesterday and started rummaging through my closet for stuff. i did stick to my low calorie snacks but low calorie does not mean anything when you eat a whole basketfull.. LOL.
So after my pre-planned menu that I did stick to yesterday... came snacking. I think I snacked around 300 calories extra. jello pudding, some chips, an extra zucchini bread, jello with ff whip cream, hot chocolate... too long of a list. I did keep track to be able to get the bonus for the challenge maybe that held me back from going way over...
Breakfast: 1 Weight control oatmeal (160), 1 tsp cinnamon (12), 1 zucchini bread (106), 1 ff yogurt (60), 1 coffee (50) = 388
Snack: 1 slice zucchini bread (106), 2 tbs sgf jelly (20) = 126
Lunch: WW three cheese ziti (320), 3 c. lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, (50) = 370
Snack: ½ ww bagel (75), 1 tbs ff cream cheese (15), 1 tbs sgf jelly (10) = 100
Dinner: Twice baked potato (180), 1 veggie burger (80)= 260
Dessert: 1 cocoa-applesauce cake (86), 4 tbs ff whip cream (30) = 116
Total calories for the day : 1360+ 40 = 1400 + late night snacking :extra 300 cal. = 1700 total
Exercise.:. : none
Here I am sipping my hot tea which makes me feel a 1000 times better. I can't stand to be sick.. it is like wasted time when I could be doing so much other stuff... but at least I get over with this now and I should be ok by Thanksgiving. And at least DD is not sick anymore. Kids are so resilient..

So sorry to hear that you have been feeling under the weather. I hope you get to feeling better soon. And don't worry about the snacking thing to much. I got the same thing going on except mine is due to TOM coming to town next week. Just try to keep it at a minimum. When I feel snacky nowadays I read the nutrition info, figure out a serving and then usually allow myself a 1/2 serving. Then the taste is quenched but I didn't over eat. Before I would have sat down with a whole bag of chips. Now I just have the 1/2 size and it does the same trick.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

Hey hajni.. girl i sure hope you get better soon.. man i hate being sick or feeling sick.. haha.. anyways.. dh got in last night and we didn't go to sleep till 3am and then alex woke me up at 4:30 and didn't go back to sleep till 5 something then got up for good at 8:30 so ya.. i am going to be exhausted but i'm loving this.. if it was something that happened all the time with dh being home for good i wouldn't care.. at least i would have my hubby home. anyways don't worry about the lack of exercise when your sick the main thing is to get well and sometimes rest and sleep is the best thing for that.
hope your better soon. hugs.. heather

Usually if you find yourself tamsacking closets and craving foods that means the BUG is heading out and your starting to feel better,when I am sick I crave sugary stuff because I think my 1st 3 pregnancies got me hooked on sugar because I was deathly ill with the 1st 3 and crackers did not work but peanutbutter did the trick or ice cream,candy bars no wonder I gained a ton but the sugar got got me through hugging the toilet daily lol.I am glad your feeling better and OMG I would have fainted to see 144 AWESOME congrats have a nice weekend Tammy

I saw 144 once - that was probably for about 2 days - then it crept back up. 
Congrats! Glad you are feeling better too.
I've not had a great week for exercising either.

HI Bella, Tammy, Heather, SweatPea, thanks for stopping by.
Just as I thought I did not last too long at work. I came home around 10 am and went to bed right away. I emerged around noon to eat and went right back. Feel better from resting but otherwise things are the same: no voice, raw throat, stuffed nose, major headache and ear-ache the works. Managed to sleep from 2-4, boy it was good. I drank so much of that nasty chamomille tea, once this ordeal is over I don't want to see chamomille tea for a year... I am so glad I had my food figured out in advance and I did not have to put too much thought into it. I just looked at my computer and ate what was on the list and no extra snacking today.
Breakfast: 1 pita pocket (60), 1 banana (110), ½ c. cottage cheese (80) , 4 tbs ff whip cream (30), 1 tsp cinnamon (12), 1 coffee (50) = 342
Snack: 2 ww bread (80), 1 tbs hummus (20), ½ green pepper (16),=116
Lunch: L.C. vegetable egg roll (310), 2 c. steamed broccoli (50) = 360
Snack: none (sleep)
Dinner: 1 ww English muffin (100), 1 tbs p.butter (100), 1 tbs jelly (10).), shake: 1 c. ff milk (90), 1ff yogurt (60), 1 c. frozen fruits banana and raspberries yumm (70) = 430
Dessert: 1 slice zucchini bread (106), 4 tbs ff whip cream (30), 1 jello (10) = 146
Total calories for the day : 1394+ 15(calcium)+25(extra fiber) =1434
Exercise.:. none
At this rate I won't be able to exercise this weekend at all. Frustrated by this whole ordeal, now I got one week behind with my goals as my weight loss goes and it is annoying.

Thanks Yarmiah and Heather.
I hope I can get rid of the sickness this weekend. I slept pretty good last night which is a good sign already. Also my voice seems to be a little stronger this morning... oh I really need to get rid of this.
So jumped on the scale this morning for the challenge, it is up from yesterday but still way down from last Saturday.. All that bloating that was happening two weeks ago just left me... I hardly exercised this week and gave into snacking temptation twice and I still lost 2.8 lbs. Which is pretty much just water weight. I was 145.2 on 10/27 two weeks ago, so really my real loss is about 0.6 lbs for the last two weeks. I am ok with that, at least I don't feel like a water ballon anymore.
Hopefully i can start back with my regular exercises next week and have this number keep going down. I am not that far away from 140. Funny thing is when I met hubby I was around 150 or a little above. Then he makes this comment the other day: "you can lose a little more weight, at least to get back to the weight you were when I met you..." HMMM I pointed out to him that I am already under that weight and he goes : "REALLY??? It doesn't seem soo..."
You just gotta love the guy.
Ok now I will check back later, there is small drama going on with my DD here about breakfast.

HI Cindy, thanks for popping in.
I have bronchities. Lovely. Got some antibiotics and some cough syrup (to make me cough even more).
So now I just have to wait it to start clearing up. No exercise until it is gone and done with so I won't aggrevate my lung.
I totally blew my diet yesterday and today, won't even list my foods . I do not get any bonus points for yesterday or today for sure.
Hoping to be back in gear in a couple of days.

Help I Think I Am Falling Off The Wagon
Ok you guys I have to pull myself together. This feeling sorry for myself is not my style. Besides it is very bad for my waist-line. As embarrased I am ,I am still going to tell you: I ate a half of package of oreo cookies today. Now I feel like yuck... and slightly nauseaous. I am not going to look how many calories I just consumed, probably a good lb worth.
Help!! I am falling off the wagon.
This is now 3 days in one week.
I am going to concentrate hard.... to get back tomorrow and even if I can't exercise at least stick to my menu.
I am so close to goal.. I can't stop now or give up.. And being sick is not an excuse.
Ok, tomorrow is Monday, start of a new week and a better week at that!!

Ok stop . . . take a deep breath (well as best you can without coughing like a nut).
You need to refocus.
Firstly- don't feel guilty about not exercising. You need to concentrate on getting better. Maybe because your routine for so long has been diet AND exercise together, it feels weird to do one without the other.
Secondly- Don't allow a bad day or 2 sabotage all your progress. Sit and rethink why you have been so successful- you are worth it! Re read the first days of your diary- why you wanted to start your journey and why you will succeed.
Thirdly- Think about the future, beginning with tomorrow. Know that tomorrow you WILL do better, you will eat healthy and stay in your range. Think about how close you are to your goal. THink about how HAWT you are gonna be at Christmas!
Haj- you have been, and continue to be an inspiration for me. You having a bad day (prompted by illness, btw) only proves to me that you are a regular person, with temptations and not so perfect days too. All the more to inspire me, and others I would suspect as well.
Get your rest and get on board tomorrow. You will get thru this- YOU CAN DO IT!
(don't make me come thru the monitor and slap ya silly!
)
