Good morning. I’m feeling a bit better, although I’m still quite tired. So, to get to the point, I haven’t been exercising and I’ve been eating rotten. I miss my healthy routine extremely and hope to get back to it this next week. It will be a bit challenging because we’re now on Spring Break, and I intend to go out of town for at least part of it.
How is it going out there? This weekly check in is so helpful for me. Spending three Saturdays in a row “off the wagon” due to illness threatens routine. Checking in every Saturday keeps me from being complacent. I’m anxious to get going again. It’s nice.
Oh, and as for my birthday goal, I think it’s too late. Nothing has been happening for me since I started it, so I’m going to give up the specific weight goal and just try to recover from being sick. Sigh.

I’m still out here, Laura. I’m holding steady but just barely. One of my biggest dilemmas (which I hate to admit because no one really understands it without a lot of explanation) is that it is difficult to keep healthy food in my house. At best, I have one week where I can eat totally according to plan followed by one or two weeks where there are no healthy choices to pick from. The only thing I have 100% control over is my exercise routine so I need to put more of my focus on that.

I have no idea what I gained or lost this week… I’ve already packed my scale. Heh, heh, heh!

Hang in there! I’m cheering for you. I am trying to lose weight myself, so I understand the struggle. Especially when you’re sick. I hurt my back and could not exercise for a couple of weeks. Because I couldn’t exercise, I was being pretty anal about what i put in my mouth…and that was hard. But, I still managed to lose 4 lbs without the exercise (which brings me to a total of 14lbs lost). I’m using Weight Watchers and it’s helping me to control portions so that I don’t overdo it.
