First of all, I'd like to thank you guys for all your "Get Well" notes in the comments yesterday. I really appreciate it. It's nice to see that you guys care enough to write. Thank you.
I'm still sick, though I gotta say I do feel a little better, though I'm clearly not on top of things just yet. The flu truck has his me again this morning, and I feel my whole body aching. I have no energy for exercising, no energy for playing music.
I am trying to get to write a little in this journal today, before I go to work. It's Thursday, and it's our long day at work. I really don't want to go, I am sick, but there is a LOT of work that I just can't get out of. I have three interviews booked today, and if I reschedule them it'll be total chaos. I better not.
Yesterday I felt like I did okay at work. Sick as a dog, but I got saved by most of the day being meetings. I had ONE interview, and I could do that one by phone, so I did. It made it easier. I even had excess energy to walk to the postal service to pick up a package. I can not safely say that Christmas is saved. Entertainment for the holidays is in the house!
Is it just me having a twisted mind, or is there something wildly entertaining in the fact that we'll be spending a Christian holiday watching movies about sorcery, magic and witchcraft? No matter, I like Harry Potter, and have purposefully stayed away from the last few movies to watch them all together at some point. Christmas will be "some point" for us this year. :)
So how am I doing on the scale? Doing better, actually. I dropped TWO KILOS since yesterday. That's a little over 4 lbs. A lot of the retained water has gone, and I can actually see it in my face. I look better again. I hope I can drop some more before Saturday morning. I'll be leery of a new Indulgence Day, simply because I probably won't reach a new low before then, but on the other hand I know it keeps my body going to do it. Maybe I simply need to do one with better choices?
I still have a few kgs (2.2 kgs, actually) to go before I can claim a new low, and I doubt that it will happen. That's okay. I'm fine with it. As longs as I am no longer in the high 80's. That hurt. I don't want to ever be up there again.
As I am not playing music this coming Friday I will not be doing my usual thing - and Friday nights are usually where I REALLY drop in weight. I wonder if that will change? It probably will, as I will NOT be standing up all evening, carrying my bass and all. I will try - if I am feeling better - to at least hit the gym to compensate. We'll see. It all depends how I am feeling.
I do miss my morning workout. I am actually finding it a reasonably pleasant experience. I like the feeling of accomplishment after. I will be looking forward to getting back on track on those. A day or two more and I think I can do it. Right now, I want to save that energy to carry me through my work day.
Today I am thankful that I lost two whole kgs.
I am thankful that my pants are no longer tight.
I am thankful that I got a pretty good night's sleep.
I am thankful that Wife will be cooking a wise choice dinner with chicken and veggies tonight.
I am thankful that kitty cat is keeping my lap warm.
I am thankful that I found the energy to actually write a decent journal, unlike yesterday.
EDIT:
As I posted this journal with my weigh-in, FatSecret came up with this prediction:
I WISH! LOL!
Have a great Thursday! The work week is almost over!
Life is good!
