Just to get it started. Red plan, no lites.

7/5, joined up. 253.6 lbs.
7/10, meal plan day. 251.4 lbs.
7/12, first official weigh in. 249.6 lbs. Total loss 4 lbs.
7/19, second official weigh in. 245.8 lbs. Total loss 7.8 lbs.

I had no (official) questions, and she had absolutely nothing to say about my food journal. (Because it's all there, no cheats.)

Now, just gotta do that 39 more times!

hey all.

Home sick for the morning. I'd have probably taken a half day anyway becuase our weather is terrible. We got a few inches of snow overnight that ended with freezing rain. So it's slick. And I was starting to get a cold as of yesterday AM, but despite Emergen-C and Zicam, it got worse as of this morning. So, I called out for a half day. I'll go in at noon. I am already feeling better now that I'm up and having coffee, but I really needed those extra hours in bed. Plus, I think I won't die on my way to work now.

(Though I almost died in bed. how stupid was I to suck on a cough drop while lying down? It went right into my windpipe and when I sat up to go "oh sh**" to cough it up, I actually inhaled it fully into my left lung. I felt it! I coughed it back up and into my hand on the first try, but holy wow. I was scared. I'm always afraid that since I live alone, I'll choke at home one day and die and no one will know...)

Anyway.

I had a good #2 yesterday after work, and another good one this morning befoe I weighed myself. Down 2 lbs from yesterday. Yep, full of poop! So, back on track. 187.8. I want 186 again this Friday, if not 185!

I might change the venue for tonight's date. He picked a nice, cozy town that'd be cute to go on a drinks date in on a nice night, but it's crappy out. And sure to ice up by nightfall. So, I might change us to a town that's right off the highway for both of us, so it's a little safer. (And quicker.) Just less romantic. But me having a cold is less romantic too. oh well!

Anyway, going to go back to bed for a few minutes before getting up and getting ready for work. If I didn't already have all of Friday off (two doctors appts in the AM, free time in the PM), I'd just stay home. But I have work to do.

haha, peed after my morning nap and back down to 187.6 Hehe.

I have a feeling my day will be light on eating, since I got a late start. Just ate my normal egg whites and oatmeal and will be heading into work at lunchtime. Just bringing a yogurt, banana, and apple. That should work til I get home after 3:30.

Now...do I spin after work, or do I nap? I feel better, but I still feel sickly. If I hadn't just sucked down a hot bowl of oatmeal, I'd say I have a fever! but i know it's just the hot food in my belly.

Also, will my date get my email in time about meeting in a less slippery location for our date?

Jess,


Hope you are feeling a little better --and took a nap instead of spinning.


Hopefully your weather is not as bad as predicted and your date goes on even if it is at an easier to get to location.

Well, we postponed the date til Friday. I'm just not going to be able to relax while I'm meeting this guy, worrying about the roads icing up. And I was half-dreading getting all dolled up when I'm not feeling that great in general. So, we'll meet Friday instead. From the brief conversation we just had, he sounds pretty cool! Fingers crossed!

I napped instead of doing spinning, and now I'm just gonna get back on the couch for the night. Watch Lost and go to bed early.

hi, jess. whoa, that sounds like a lot of punishment to get your ankle angry! but i can imagine it's real frustrating to see the doc again and again, only to have them proclaim your ankle just fine! they need to see injury to do something about it . . .

hope you have fun at the date. nice way to cap off a day of appointments. hope you guys click well and enjoy the evening!
