Sorry I am definitely a quiet teammate lately.
I can't catch a break... even in my busiest season I ended up in 2 wk manetory out sick but guess who worked from home and stayed in her little cubicle at home. Feel like I am on display in my boxed in work setting. Just gotta get through this week at home and hopefully can get through the next couple weeks at work and then I can rest. Haha.. thinking most that actually get sick take that time at that point but no, I coughed and sneezed and worked through all that and my my no voice for a week plus stage. I am beyond exhausted at night but I am trying to hang in.
At the mercy of my carb lovin, easy meal fixing hubs so diet isnt great when I do eat... which isnt often. It hasnt helped with weight loss.. and I can tell carbs are all around from my lack of loss. Who gets sick and gains? Well me.. but since I have been a daily weigher I know that carbs jump my weight and when they go so can the weight.
I hit my 6 month mark while confined to my box so had to dig up a way to measure. I have the basics but the hip or waist specific compares will have to wait until I can dive into my numbers. 6 months in and down 31.8 lbs (well before my carb increase!) And down 28 inches overall. I will take it and keep going. While I would have liked that 10lb drop that so many talk about when they get sick, I guess I dont have to worry about the big bounce back.
And to end this book tonight my weigh in...

Well I still haven’t exercised in the past two weeks. I just been resting. Lately it has been exhausting. I will kick butt today and push play. But I have lost weight this week and I think it is due to drinking my water. I have been drinking a gallon of water and never have I felt bloated and even losing weight with my aunt flow which I always gain. Huge bonus. Drink your water!!!!

I’m almost out of 230s, I know it’s not big deal lol but it’s been 3 years since I have been 220s. Little goals. I’m almost at my mini goal of 225 lbs. I can feel it. I still can’t believe I dropped 3.2 lbs this week! 🥳

slow and steady. I've begun to date again. Is it me or does dating esp dinner dates with (drinks, appetizers, and dessert) cause an upturn in your weight)? LOL! I need to gain control and re-prioritize. Feeling slightly better going into this week, so onwards, onwards!4 -
