Hubby and I got sick a couple days ago... first it started with all over achiness, then it moved on to some sore throats, and then it went to headache/dizziness. We strolled about a half mile yesterday and walked around the grocery store for exercise. It took 45 minutes. It was the best I could do for exercise! When we came home I did some very light housekeeping for a few hours- anything that didn't require bending over. I accidentally took a lozenge when I woke up because my throat was so painful I couldn't sleep and then after a couple minutes thought, oh crap, this tastes sweet. It has gluconate in it. I hope it doesnt stall me for the next couple days. Today we're taking the day off from exercise to try to recuperate. I hope this passes soon. I think he picked up a bug at the hospital we work at and gave it to me since he had it a day before me... pretty sure this is not "induction flu" especially since he had similar symptoms!
The good news is that I hit my first goal weight-- 120 lbs-- down from 128.6! It was so good to see the number on the scale. When I started the diet I said that we would go eat ice cream at Friendlys. I would just have a small cone. But as I looked at the carbs on the cones I found the smallest one I could have there was 18g carbs. My total daily allowance. So, it's taken A LOT of strength but I changed my reward to ordering some da vinci sugar-free syrups online. I really hope they taste good. I ordered direct from the company with a pump-- vanilla, gingerbread, and caramel.
I'm feeling very strong for overcoming my urge to eat ice cream and looking forward to achieving my next goal-- 115 lbs! I think I'm getting a manicure and pedicure for that one! I wanted to share it here first
