When sickness strikes, it's comfort all the way, baby! That said, when I'm actually on track, I try to keep a pot of herbal or green tea at the ready much of the day, so I hydrate first.

Also, i'm using this app from www.getenough.ca - my goal is to reach for fruit/veg first, fulfill those requirements (the app gives you a visual cue) THEN go to treats. The first couple of days I used the app, I didn't feel the need for excess.

And the age old rule - if it ain't in the house, ya can't eat it. That helps my see-food problem!

Have a great day wherever you are! Presently I'm being weighed down by my napping dog... Must. Do. Ab. Workout. Or laundry...

^^^ I don't want to disturb her!!

.... oh what I would give to have my doggy asleep on me right now and be home relaxing! Cutie!!

It's so tough to stay on track when feeling sick, the green tea is a great way to start though! Soups and tea. Hope you feel better soon @katjord

@katjord Wow, it seems that when you get motivated something seems to jump up and kick you, doesn't it? I hope you and the fam feel better soon.
I do eat when I'm sick but as with others, I try not to keep bad things in the house. When I'm sick i want some good ole chips and salsa or a creamy soup. totally not good for me.
@wender125 what a sweetie pie. I have three dogs and 4 cats (can you say country girl?) My precious baby, Beauxregard, is 12 year old golden retriever, recently diagnosed with a sarcoma. thankfully he's still eating well but we can't it removed because they'd have to amputate the leg. He's so arthritic he couldn't get around. So his huge tail lays around on me all the time. I love the old gentleman. Love the other 2 also but Beaux is my favorite. we used to travel to nursing homes etc to make visits and he would be so sweet. But since he can't get up off the slick floors we had to stop that too.
Wow, that came out of nowhere. But thanks for "listening".
Tomorrow Chris and I are going to a craft fair (we make pet bandanas) and I'm hoping we sell a lot because my goal (other than weight loss) is to get some debt paid off.
Cross your fingers for us!
I'll check in at some point tomorrow

Well, since you ask

Glad you are feeling better... and love seeing the dog pictures. I too am a dog lover!!
Hope you sold lots of bandanas this weekend @blitzbis !!

It is a rainy ugly day today. I'm hoping the forecast is right so I can get out this afternoon and do some exercising. But if not, I have my workout planned for the office too.
I did bring my lunch and snacks today. The patients are having breakfast for lunch so if I can stay away from the biscuits, gravy and sausage, I'll be happy!

@Lorri127 you are so right. I find that I like my FitBit because I can't cheat on it. I either walk my 10,000 steps or I don't. Of course, other exercises don't register on it, but I find that it's easy for me to cheat myself with the attitude of "i'll really start doing it tomorrow or next week". So when my husband asks if I worked out I say yes and the only person that hurts is me.
I also joined a series of races that if I complete all 6 of them in order, then I get a medal. The first one was the 7th and initially I wasn't on the final results webpage. (They apparently quit timing it at an hour and30 minutes and I finished in and hour and 38). I was dejected all weekend because I KNEW i had completed. I KNEW i hadn't lied about it and I needed credit from an outside "authority". I wish I had the inner strength to award myself but right now, I need the external because I cheat myself.
Now, I use my scale because that can't be manipulated, my FitBit and these races as my "success" until I have the wherewithall to be my own keeper again.

Went over to the hospital today to get my staff their Thanksgiving lunch. My goodness the carbohydrates. I have locked myself in the office with my salad and turkey.

@blitzbis - have a successful day!
(I think shivering counts... so does fidgeting when you have to go tinkle, like me right now)
