I’m back up to 245 this week and I am OK with it. I expected a gain with the TOM starting soon and the weird almost sick but not feeling I have had as of late.

I do notice myself slipping back into old habits so I am starting fresh. I brought an apple and a string cheese to snack on at break instead of the hot pocket i had been bringing.

I’ve also been eating a lot of fast food for breakfast because I am waking up late. I feel tired and drained and it’s directly linked to what I’m putting into the body so I am going to be eating oatmeal even if it’s hot in the house (we’re warming up here in Cali, not so much hot cereal weather at all.)

I am going to the gym BEFORE work since I don’t have time after with school. I am not waiting until I find an appropriate gym bag like I tried to tell myself today. That’s an EXCUSE and I really don’t like excuses.

I just wanted to give a lil update. I am still reading all of your blogs. I may not comment as much lately (it’s FINALS TIME!) but I am still reading. THank you for all of the wonderful comments you’ve been leaving me. They mean so much!

I’m sitting at my desk finishing off a cup of Throat Care tea while I write this quick update. Yes, I’m still alive and will be replying to comments most likely Sunday.  I have been dealing with  THE COLD OF DOOM this week since Tuesday. This has derailed any gym plans, tracking meals etc. I haven’t eaten more than a can of soup in 2 days it’s been so bad. Tonight was the first full meal I ate and it was a HUGE grilled chicken sandwich and french fries. No, this wasn’t the best choice and I know it but at the time I was SO HUNGRY I couldn’t stop myself.

I have been off work, not blogging and trying to get healthy so I can attend a friend’s costume birthday party tomorrow. If I do go i will not be in my skimpy Goddess costume like I had planned.

I am worried about weigh day on Monday because I don’t even know if i should count it this time around. I mean if i did lose weight it was from being sick. That could result in what would look like a huge gain the next week if I record it. What are your thoughts?

I want to thank you all for your support and kind words via Twitter and my blog. You all are helping me through this more than you could imagine. This community is so supportive it makes me want to keep going even when I’m all emo and dealing with the COLD OF DOOM.

I’ll be back on Monday with more recipes and more randomness. Hopefully I’ll be back at the gym too! I have a challenge to meet after all!

So yesterday Mary over at A Merry Life posted that she wanted to get back to the gym and get on the treadmill again. She then stated that for every comment she was left on THIS post she would do 30 seconds on the treadmill. WOW! After seeing the comments and how many people were going to match her time, I decided to jump in and do it too!

So go on over to A Merry Life and leave a comment on that post up there. I’ll be matching her time but will be walking it not running. I need this since I’m another one that needs to get back to the gym!!! I’ll post the results in tomorrow’s blog post!
