I was sick almost all last week. Starting Tuesday night my legs were achy...Wednesday, achy all over and chills, later that night ran a fever. Slept 9 or 10 hours Wednesday night. Still felt tired and miserable, cold and cough through the weekend. Finally Monday morning felt much better. My voice is even almost back to normal! I didn't have the strength to work out much, but got on the scale this morning and there it was...a three pound loss. Got to thinking about what I did differently while I was sick...water! I hardly drank any soda or coffee...but I was soooo thirsty all the time and I drank a ton of water! I am attributing the loss to that, it is a good motivator to keep away from the soda...even diet has a lot of sodium. Half a pound and I am at my first goal of 10 pounds!!!!
Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my goals to see how I am doing. The last set of short term goals I set were these: 1. Eat a more balanced diet (less carbs, more protein and...silly as it sounds...more fat) 2. Stick to between 1300 and 1400 calories a day 3. No Lattes for a week... put $2.00 in my goal jar for every day I don't drink a Latte How have I done? 1. I really make an effort to eat protein with each meal...sometimes that is a handfull of nuts...I added them to a salad the other day and it was very good 2. Doing well here, I seldom go below 1300 and although I do go over 1400 some days, I rarly go above 1500, my top end goal is 1560 so I am eating a good amount of food 3. I have had one or two non-fat lattes since I started this goal...just like diet soda, the less I have them, the less I want them. I will review my other goals tomorrow!
