I am officially late, again, with my weekly update. Last
week, I was so far behind I decided to not even post one and instead combine it with this week’s update. Then I got sick ("The
sickness! It’s happening!") and here I am almost through another week and
no update posted. But better late than never right?
Last week I talked about giving myself daily, weekly and
monthly goals to help get me through the next four weeks, in this post. Of course, come day 2
I found myself sick and so there were three days spent in bed doing nothing but
coughing, sneezing and sleeping. I am starting to feel better but still a bit
zombie like. Yesterday I had a deep cleaning done at the dentist which required
a Valium and Novocain and I am still a bit groggy from that. And my mouth
hurts. So yeah, this week has been a bit of a suckfest.
I did however, manage to start tracking again yesterday and
even though I haven’t worked out this week (if it’s in the chest, you better
rest- that’s the rule of thumb I follow) and my step count has been abysmal, I have definitely done really great with the
sleep part. I am averaging a solid 10+ hours a night. And when I was home from
work, at least another 6 hours during the day. Yeah, being awake is definitely the toughest
part of working while sick.
Anywho, I can’t help it when things like this happen. I
just have to ride it out and make the best of it. I know that when I am feeling
better things will get back on track. Right now, I am just focused on my
health. That comes first, always. The scale- well, it will always be there.
Soooo, back to the whole point of this post- my weekly weigh
ins. I managed to see two small losses these past two weeks:
On 11/7 I weighed in at 169.0 which was a loss of 0.8 and
then on 11/14 I weighed in at 168.2 for another loss of 0.8. Still hanging out
below 170 but not yet back to where I was at the end of September. BUT, I
really can’t complain the numbers are still trending downward and I am still
quite confident I am making good choices and supporting a healthy lifestyle,
when not sick, and that is really what matters most.
For next week, my goal is to get back to working on my
daily/weekly/monthly goals and hopefully get some energy back. Why does it seem
to take FOREVER to get over a cold? I am soooo over it! ;)
Love and hugs,
Dacia
