    Hi everyone..... I have missed reading your posts and chatting with you all..

    I am back from my trip from Ohio...what a challange eating out 3 meals a day. I think I did pretty good. I drank lots of water and walked around a lot. Getting weighed first thing tomorrow morning...but then have to go for a 4 hour glocuse tolerance test. Not sure how all this sugar is going to effect me or show on the scale.

    I had to do approximations for most of my meals. I even turned down a dinner invitation for Cheesecake Factory after looking up their menu on line and reading about the nutritional content of their food. (There was no way I could have gone there without getting the cheesecake and the calories for a slice of cheesecake started at 500 calorries.)

    I will post my goals tomorrow when I get back.

    Got weighed this morning, was only up 1/2 lb, so I felt relieved. Went for my 4 hour test.... didn't pass out, but they had me lay down 1 hour into the test.

    My goals for today

    catch up on laundry
    go food shopping
    journal honestly
    drink lots of water.... got to get rid of all that salt intake from the last few days.
    spend time with my doggies

    was hoping to start my weekend cleaning, just didn't get around to it. I did get my mail caught up and mailed out the bills. Just remembered that I never took my vitamins.

    Tonight going to catch up on my tv shows and take a long hot shower. Hope everyone has a great night.

    1. Drink 10 glasses of water- only 6 and some tea
    2. Log all food and stay in calorie limit- no... I didn't log anything yesterday and have no idea how many calories I had
    3. Finish at least 1 homework assignment- yes and half way through 2 others
    4. Do laundry- no
    5. Try to go to gym if feeling better- no

    I'm frustrated that I can't breathe and am not feeling well enough to go to the gym and have a feeling I'm not going to be happy with the scale as a result. I know my body needs a break and time to recover, but it's hard to accept not working out when I'm trying to develop new habits. Saying a prayer for patience and the ability to breathe and not cough like crazy.

    Goals for 2/25
    1. Drink 10 glasses of water
    2. Laundry
    3. Housework
    4. Finish 4 homework assignments
    5. Try to figure out how to get rid of this chest cold and cough (I don't like taking medicine)

    I am sorry you are not feeling well but on the days when you think you have lost motivation and feel yucky remember that you are keeping this challenge going and you are helping me more than you will ever know!! Take care of yourself first and the rest will fall into place!!!
