Wow! Four pounds down, that is phenomenal! You asked me about running and here is how I did it. I started walking (either outside or on the treadmill), my first goal was to be able to walk a mile in 20 minutes, then in 15 and try to get 3 miles in less than 45. That took me over two months to accomplish and I just built on that. I started in March and by the end of May I was down 25 pounds and it made a massive difference in how much easier it was to move, so keep that in mind as well. I wasn't able to jog an entire mile without stopping to walk until the end of September. Some people just don't like to run (I am still not sure I love it, but it gets results) and walk like maniacs. Really, just start slow and don't hurt yourself. Make it enjoyable, take someone/something (a pet) with you. I started out in a walking group and it helped me get through those first miles. If there is a scenic route by your house use it. I know this weather is miserable, so you might want to wait it out or use a treadmill. We moved our treadmill into the living room so I could watch TV while walking and it really helped. I have to have my music now. I have even read magazines and books while walking on the treadmill, anything that gets you through it at first. Hope your bug goes away and the weight keeps coming off.

Hello...it is Tuesday and I'm feeling like a slug ! No energy, and have a wicked sinus infection, officially diagnosed by the doctor yesterday.I have to take antibiotics, cough medicine, and have an inhaler in case I start wheezing...Lovely, isn't it?? I am eating my bars, but can't seem to get them all in...no appetite despite it all...Funny isn't it? We get sick and can't eat ! CRAZY !
I have to go into work, as I have many meetings and a few social skills groups to run with the guidance counselor...

Oh yeah, I hit the 10 # club !!

Let's make it a great day , no matter what comes our way, because we are worth it !!

Sorry to hear that you are getting worse. Do you have any of the Creamy Chicken Soup? I would try that instead of the bars. I hope the meds work and kick it out.

Hope you will be feeling better very soon!

Hoping you feel better real soon and CONGRATS on the 10 lb club! Way to fight girlie!

[wildtrk]

Hope you are feeling better! Congrat's on the 10lb club! I would ask if you are feeling any better after losing the 10#, but it looks like I will reserve that until you beat the sinus infection.

Hi all,
Thanks for stopping by to see how I am !
It is Thursday....Sinus infection still here, but a little better...I wish work would go away, as all I seem to need is sleep and rest. Not happening until the weekend... Scale hasn't moved in either direction....I'm okay with that for now. I am trying to drink all of my water, since I really have no appetite. Many more meetings today...I am trying to focus on the prize which is that tomorrow is FRIDAY !!

Will catch up with all of your journals this weekend...

Remember, Spring and Summer are coming !!

Good Morning...it is FINALLY the weekend. I thought it would never come. It has been reeally hard at work on top of having a sinus infection and now bronchitis !! All of the sinus issues have now settled in my chest and it's a bear to deal with right now. I am on plan as far as MF grub goes but I have not had as many or have been able to drink as much water as I'd like. Now that I have reached the weekend, I hope to get more water in and get ALL of my mf food in. After work, when I usually have my L&G, I have had no appetite and have gone to bed, trying to get well. Like I said earlier in this post, work has been hard this week and very demanding.

Okay, I feel better now that I have vented in the above paragraph ! I am ready to get back to my regular mf schedule...I will participate in roll call - because it is important to be accountable no matter what !

I hope to get to read other journals today...
Thanks for being patient with me this past week !

Pam, I hope you are feeling better! This has been one germy winter!

[katesmom]

Happy Tuesday!
I am stumped here in CT...We had abou 2 inches of snow and now nothing !! I thought we were supposed to have "blizzard like" conditions !!
Perhaps the majority of the storm is yet to come ! Oh well, less to shovel I guess !

I am back on track with my MF supp's and water...Next week's roll call should be a good one.

Enjoying the day off from school and just being lazy !

Ciao !
