Not bad. Sore throat isn't helping much. I think I may need a nice cup of hot tea and maybe make some chicken noodle soup tomorrow..

How did you do? 

Dawn, this is the second time this week that I was writing the post at the same time you were...it doesn't feel right when I don't see you starting it up.
So I'm always happy when it happens..Sorry for your news last night. I'll be praying for you and your family.

So much stress, day after day. I have been so worried lately because I am just under a lot of pressure to get everything done on a schedule and it is hard for me to keep up, much less get ahead. I have been so grateful for my food diary. When the stress is high, I feel as though all I do is eat. But when I check my diary (and my scales..) I find that I'm not doing as bad as it seems. Thank you God.

I'm writing my food diary and thinking of you all.
My calories for the last 3 days have been at about 1500 and my protein at about 80 grams. My fluids are good and all vitamins. Something to be grateful for.

Wishing everyone a good day tomorrow

Your life is the same as mine is..I'm so stressed at work and with my daughter's mom that my neck starts getting stiff from like clenching my teeth..you know what I mean? The back of my neck is tight and starts to hurt..and it runs over the top and sides of my head...ouch. So much so that this afternoon, my throat was hurting..I sure don't need to be gettting sick!

You know, sometimes I'll go weeks and weeks without my weight changing at all and then I have a high calorie day and drop over a pound..I think the rule they always told us about increasing your calories to break a stall really has some validity to it..even with us now when we aren't on the way down anymore - to the same extent anyway.

I think it's also possible to burn more calories when you're stressed. Maybe the fact that we want to eat more when we're stressed has some biological basis too..

Prayers are much appreciated! Keep up the good work. See ya.

Three day weekend right? Nasty viruses going around this Winter! DD has strep throat and an ear infection! Just had Strep on 1-12-11! One more time this winter and they want to take out her tonsils. I made her chicken noodle soup for dinner.
0930-premier protein drink and oatmeal w splenda
1045-apple
1230-asian chicken salad; no noodles 1/2 sandwich w top bread removed and 1/2 small bar cookie
1530-mandarin orange, granola bar
1900-spaghetti pie and brocoli
1930-sugar cookie
No exercise since I hurried home to take DD to 445 pediatrician appointment. We were there forever; lots of sick kids around here! Long wait at the pharmacy as well, but was extremely grateful we could be seen in office instead of urgent care. I am hoping my nephew who is home from college will stay with DD so I can go to work at least a half a day. It is our Livin, Lovin Cake Walk Auction for our United Way Campaign. I have put in a ton of hours and hate to miss this final event; kind of selfish of me.

I hope I'm not coming down with something! But I'm sure it's just stress. My neck is tight from stress and with a headache it feels like everything hurts. Having the three days off might just be what the doctor would order if I went to the doctor..LOL.

Not selfish of you if you've been putting all sorts of time and energy into it..When I was young, I remember getting all worked up over stuff that was going to happen at school and then getting sick and having to stay home. I missed a ton of stuff with that. Stress made me sick, even good stress.

Great list! Keep up the good work..See ya.

anita

seems to me that eating ice or munching on ice is the sign of a vitamin deficiency..I forget which one...iron? You could google it and find out and take some extra just in case.

You did really good. I'm up and cleaning house this morning just in case I do get sick. Nothing I hate worse than being too sick to clean a filthy house and having a filthy house..When the crumbs are sticking to my feet in all the rooms...definitely time to clean!

Keep up the good work. See ya.
