Never fails. Every time I get on a roll.... I get sick or hurt. Maybe I go too fast, maybe it is just the luck of the draw! Today I am going to the doctor to see what I have. I know what I don't have and that is a voice! How the heck am I suppose to answer the phone (at work) without a voice? lol Well I do what I can. I close my door (so I won't spread germs, too much) and I stay in my hole. I feel like crap, runny nose , sore throat and coughing. Slight fever, but nothing major. I went to bed at 8pm last night and finally forced myself out of bed at 9am this morning to call the doctor for an appt. They can't get me in until late afternoon, so I came into work (wishing I would have crawled back in bed). They told me to go home.. but home is 1/2 hr away and the dr. appt is in town. So I am just hiding out in here because I don't have anywhere else to go. I hope I don't get others sick....
My hands feel puffy today, so I am probably retaining some water due to the sickness. I am happy that the scale still reflected another pound down. Maybe once I get done with being sick, the scale will really drop!

Another One Bites the Dust!
After searching youtube for Queen's video of this song AND watching 4 of them, I decided NOT to post the video. However I think most of my audience knows the song...
Excuse my poor attempt at a bass solo: "bump, bump, bump... Another one bites the dust. bump, bump, bump... Another one bites the dust. And another one down and another one down. Another one bites the dust!"
Well I am happy to report... another pound down this week! Considering my slump with exercise, I am excited that eating properly still rewarded me the past two weeks with 'another one biting the dust' at each weigh in.
Valentine's Day. The day itself was emotionally overwhelming for me; however I feel that I was able to face some issues within myself that have been bothering me. There are things I need to let go of, realize that I can't change them & that I didn't cause them to happen. Sometimes things just ARE and through no fault of mine.

Reading...
GOOD LITTLE WIVES by Abby Drake
"While their husbands are out making money, making deals and making... whatever, the trophy wives of New Falls are slipping not so quietly into middle age. Lauren, Bridget, Dana, and Caroline pretend to each other that their only problems are parties, plastic surgery, and which Mikimotos to buy. But behind the closed doors of their gracious homes there are broken hearts and broken promise... the stuff that gossip is made of.
And the newest dish du jour is a whopper! The husband of one of their oldest friends, who dumped his wife for a newer model-a sexier, flashier sleeker hairdresser- is found dead, his ex-wife, Kitty standing over him... holding the smoking gun.
Kitty claims she's innocent, and there are plenty of women around town who might want the rat dead. Now it 's up to the women to discover where in their high-priced suburb a killer is hiding and which good little wife has done something very, very wicked."
The book was very good; however it is an adult book. Not recommended for children or teens for that matter.

Whatcha think?
Ok tell me. I am really feeling weird this week. Not sure what it is. I feel like I am just going through the motions in every aspect of my life. I eat right, go to work, cook dinner, and then bam! I go to bed. Every night this week I have just simply went to bed. It is like I am zapped and have absolutely NO energy to give any more. Monday was my ladies meeting so I did teach that devotional. But there has been little exercise. Here is a recap of the week.
Monday. Work, Ladies' Meeting, Bed
Tuesday. Work, Circuit Training, Taebo
Wednesday. Work, Bed
Thursday. Work, Bed
Friday. Work, Circuit Training, soon to be in BED.
Ok since I have typed it out, it doesn't look that bad. It seems like I am fighting off a bug, or maybe just complacent? I just feel WEIRD. Not sick, just WEIRD. So do you think it is ok that this week has been a little slacking in the exercise dept? I have kept my calories low. Needing support from my support system here!

Woo - freakin - Hoo!
I lost 9.5 lbs in the last 4 weeks! I really wanted 10, but I will take that. I have been working out hard and really just living a healthy lifestyle. It is good to be back to my ole' self. When I was preggo with the twins, I just couldn't eat certain things... like salad. I love salad; however the boys didn't. And subway. I enjoy subway so much; however when I was preggo... the tv commercials literally made me sick. So weird!
I made a call today to a local women's shelter and asked if they would want my used books. They were thrilled that I would give them the books. I love to read; however I am very selective on which books I keep. Some are good one time reads- others are worth more. lol So when I get the chance I am going to go through the books I have read and donate the good ones.
As I mentioned a couple months ago, I don't believe I am going to do the 'Free Christmas' again. I loved helping people and enjoyed the volunteers; however it is too time consuming for one person. Besides, there are tons of local charity events that I can donate time to without being overwhelmed with my own. *smiles*
