Fever Broke

Yay!! So, my fever has definitely gone down. However, my glands have not. I woke up this morning to find them swollen.

I'm not quite sure what's wrong with me...but I figure it I just rest all day, I may be able to manage tomorrow. I still feel dizzy whenever I stand up...but it's not as bad as it was.

So, today, instead of doing my shopping post...I just wanted to give you a quick update as I sit in bed & watch GLEE all day. Because what else would make me feel better?? :-D

Sick

I was doing so good with following my posting schedule, but I actually got a little sick this weekend. Nothing serious...just not feeling like myself.

Look out for regular postings coming again tomorrow??

Food Poisoning

I got food poisoning on Friday & have been sick ever since. Around 2:30 am Saturday morning, I started throwing up and didn't stop until almost 4:00 pm on Saturday afternoon. While I have stopped vomiting, my stomach is still cramping at times & I have a constant headache due to dehydration.

I have put a major hold on "Fab Ab February" due to this. I will attempt to possibly finish it this week & definitely start again next month and try to go the whole month this time.

I'm headed to bed now...but just wanted to update real quick.

11 Pounds

Since getting sick...I have lost 11 pounds. That's a ridic amount of weight in a week and a half. My friend told me it's water, but my stomach has definitely shrunk because I get full soooo quick now.

I'm not fully better yet...still working on it. But I'm hoping I can use this as a kick start to losing more weight...

What do ya'll think?? Is that even a healthy idea??

Aldi

So...two days ago, I went to Aldi for the first time...and OH MY GOD!! I can't believe how little I spent for so much good food. It's all been so delicious & the calorie counts on the items ain't too shabby. It's exciting to find such an easy way to save money & enjoy something yummy.

I'm sorry for all the short posts. I'm just going through some stuff right now (AGAIN), but I should be back in commission hopefully by next week...my birthday is next Wednesday, so let's hope.

Now...I've been sick all day...so it's off to bed for me. Thanks for reading & patiently waiting for me to REALLY post!!

Wrong

So...I said I was going to start taking food pictures today...well, I lied. Haha...today was a HECTIC and crazy day & I woke up this morning feeling SO sick. So it just didn't happen. Plus the camera on my phone is so screwed up right now.

I'll just leave it for Friday...WHEN I GET MY BLACKBERRY!!

Well...just thought I'd post real quick. Gotta finish up this project & then get some sleep. I really do think I'm coming down with something :-(

Making the Weekends Work Challenge

So, Katie over at areyouwilling.net is holding this GREAT challenge for the month of February!! The "Making the Weekends Work" challenge :-) I am SUPER excited about this because I have had a TON of trouble finding the time to make it to the gym on the weekends...so I'm definitely going to use this challenge in hopes that I'll get myself out there at least one day of the weekend, whether it be Saturday or Sunday!!

 

Ya'll should definitely head on over to her blog & check out this challenge!! I think it's going to be fabulous :-)

In other news...still a little sick. Just resting and drinking lots of fluids. Internet is working again, so I got back to tracking yesterday & today. Feels good. I'm gonna try to hit the gym tonight, which I haven't done since Sunday when I got sick. Hope it's not too hard...but we'll see!!

Internet is Down...

This is gonna be a quick post because my internet keeps coming in waves, so I don't know when it'll go down again.

But I'm sick :-( I woke up this morning with the sniffles & have just stayed in bed trying to feel better all day. I don't have that option tomorrow, so it's back to the gym along with work.

I also didn't count points today :-( I wanted to, but like I said, the internet was down & I couldn't access the WW site. I tried my best to eat what I felt would fall into my points though...and hopefully I still see a loss come Wednesday. Hopefully I'll be able to track & count tomorrow.

xoxo

Question...

So, have any of you found that if you don't eat enough one day...you feel sick that day??

Not like "I have to go home and lay down RIGHT now" sick. I just keep getting a feeling of vomit or an AWFUL aftertaste in my throat & mouth around midday for the past few days.

Any ideas??

Still Dizzy

So even though they put me on medication, I've been eating 3 meals a day, and drinking tons of water...I'm still experiencing severe headaches & dizziness.

I'm gonna give it a few more days & if it's still really bad, I'm going back to the doctor.

That's all I really can type right now without the room spinning. Hope everyone is having a good week!!

xoxo

P.S. Any of you myfitnesspal.com users, when I updated my weight on there today, the ticker & badge didn't change! How do I fix this?? Does anybody know??

Vertigo

So...apparently I have vertigo. It's a viral case of it because they told me it's been going on...but at least now I know what's wrong. They put me on some meds to try to calm my head, but she said it could last a good 2 weeks or so.

However, when they weighed me in the office, I was down 3 pounds. I'm starting to think my scale might be off, so I'm going to go ahead and count this afternoons weigh-in as my official weigh-in since I plan to buy a new scale this week. I still don't want to record it until tomorrow, but most likely, that's the number I'm going to count since it came straight from the doctor.

In other news, my blood pressure is excellent, so that's always good to hear. I have a little bit of a nasal drip, so part of my illness was probably caused by sinuses. I think that's about it. I'm ready for some GLEE tonight!! Until then, I have a lot of studying to do.

Treat Free September--Week 2

I'm happy to report I was able to go another week without any treats. I didn't realize how hard it was either until this week. I have friends offering me desserts & treats ALL the time. Luckily, I just pass them up and try not to tempt myself. I guess I never noticed how many treats are around me constantly.

I'm feeling very good about myself this week. Today at work, I had a co-worker tell me that she noticed I had slimmed down. I hope so!! Let's hope that the scale is down on Wednesday!!

Well, I'm still feeling pretty dizzy, so I'm going to go to bed. Doctor's appointment tomorrow--hopefully they can give me something to help it or at least tell me what's wrong. I walked into a ladder today...so that didn't help anything. At least my head spinning is the only symptom I still have since Saturday.

Hope everyone else is having a great week!!

Sick

So, I woke up this morning around 7 am and headed straight to the bathroom. I was so sick I had a stabbing pain in my side, my head was throbbing, and I couldn't stop throwing up. I called work before they even opened to tell them there was no way I could come in. I started crying on the phone because I was just in so much pain. I couldn't stop shaking.

It was awful. I haven't really eaten today because I haven't been able to hold anything down. I'm just resting, watching Glee, and drinking lots of water. Hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow because I have too much going on this week to be sick.

Just wanted to post a quick update. My head is spinning just typing all this, so I'm gonna stop now. Hope everyone else is having a better Saturday than me.

Rain Check on the Weigh-In

So, I know I said I was going to stop doing this, but I'm totally not recording the weigh-in this week. I have a group project due this morning at 9:35 and we didn't get done with it until about 3:00 am. Now, whenever this happens, I don't get ANY sleep because I'm so worried something is going to go wrong with the project or Kinko's printing it all out (which I actually need to go pick up in about an hour so we have it on time). It's just all too much on my mind for me to fall asleep...so I toss & turn most of the night barely asleep, waking up every 45 minutes to an hour.

Therefore, I am BLOATED because I am retaining all this water weight. I always get really sick when stuff like this goes on too. Just for the day--I'll probably even be fine by tonight. But right now, all I want to do is throw up. I definitely don't have stage fright, so no fear of public speaking (I was on the debate team in high school and competed most every weekend in Original Oratory). I just get so anxious about everything & want to make sure I do well that I panic and get sick. It's a never ending cycle which just gets worse as more and more stress from the semester starts to pile on.

I know I'm supposed to be talking about my weigh-in and how I'm missing it, but I gotta admit...it feels good to get all my feelings about this project out. It's not even being counted as a project--it's listed in the syllabus as a class participation grade. Which just really makes me mad!! You wanna do good, but at the same time, she makes it seem like it's not even that important. Ridiculous.

Well, I need to get ready and go to Kinko's before class. Hope everyone is having a better start to the day than I am. I might weigh in tomorrow based on how I feel...but we'll see.

xoxo
