Ugh... I feel sick today. This will have to be a short journal, as my head is pounding and I can't see straight.
There's a virus floating around Denmark, and haft the office has been down with it, so I think it's probably my turn. Headaches, coughing, fever etc. Not good.

Anyways, it came overnight, so yesterdays behavior wasn't really affected by it. I ate as planned, and stuck to everything.

In the evening, my neighbor stopped by. They've been on vacation and we have been "apartment-sitting" for them. To thank us, they brought candies for our Saturday Indulgence Day. It's nice of them, but I really don't want too many sweets in the house. I was low on calories, and I decided to have some to "up" my intake for the day - since I had room for it. So I measured a portion, and put the rest away. Then I put them on the table next to my exercise bike to make them a reward after I was done exercising.

We watched the last episode of Terra Nova (it's a pretty good show - I recommend it!), and I went full blast all the way through it - all 45 minutes! After a quick shower and getting a cup of coffee, I sat down to eat the candies. Then I realized, that if I ate the candies I might as well NOT have gone on the bike. The candies would have been 450 calories, and I belive I burned around 300 doing my exercise. I wasn't gonna lost that! So I had three candies instead and put the rest away. Man, that felt good. I was really proud that I was able to just put them away. It was really no big deal.

So here I am, just got up to eat a little break fast, then heading back to bed again. I am just having my two mandatory morning eggs, nothing else. I don't have too much of an appetite. But as we know, we don't really start burning calories until we eat, so breakfast IS important. That, and a huge glass of water to fill me up and to cool down the fever a little (hopefully).

Did I mention that men generally get sicker than women? ;)
I am of course joking, but today I'd buy that argument in a second.

So how did I do yesterday? Well, I dropped a whopping 1.1 kgs, and I am now down to 85.5 kgs - 200 grams away from a new, lowest weigh-in. And it's only Thursday. I wish I could get out and do some exercise, and burn more calories. I'd like to do a kick-ass weigh-in for Saturday. That'd be nice.

Last thing, before I go to bed a gain - I wanted to thank my buddy Lee Shelly for putting up that super nice thread in the forum. You know the one. That just COMPLETELY made my day yesterday. :)

Take care my friends - please feel better than I do. Life is - sick or not - good! :)
