I cannot report much progress today. I spent about a week tending to a sick little girl and getting sick myself. I can say, though, that I haven’t made progress so much as I’ve maintained. Thanksgiving was nice since we went elsewhere. The only leftovers that came home with us was half a bottle of sparkling cider (1. because the girls are the only ones who’ll drink it and 2. because it had a twist off cap!). Plus, the stuffage that usually occurs, didn’t. Yay!
One backslide that has occurred involves the physical well being end of it. I haven’t been exercising much lately. It is cold and wet and just plain nasty outside, so I haven’t even been going out much. I can tell by the way my hip joints and my feet feel. Sore. VERY sore. For me, it seems, for now, there is a very fine line between overuse and underuse pain. Either one sucks, but at the least overuse one seems more positive.
This week, I am going to do phase I for a few days. It will be particularly hard with the onset of the premenstrual starvation pangs I get. I have. I am also going to exercise everyday this week alternating a strength workout with a cardio on (likely to be only 20 minutes HIIT workouts on my recumbent bike).
So far so good.

4766.
Less than half of the recommended 10,000 per day, I know. This is clearly something I need to work on, but for a little while, I am just going to track it.
I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary today. It is a Monday. I didn’t go anywhere other than to pick my girl up from preschool. I did do a 20 minute HIIT on the bike.

I have a horrible sinus infection! That is the verdict by the doc. I went in (finally) yesterday morning. And after 24 hours of being on new medication (antibiotics and Zyrtec-D –instead of Claritin-D) I can actually say that I am feeling much better!
Yay! I am optimistic about kicking things back into gear and moving forward with the diet and exercise plan. I will take it easier today and tomorrow, but then watch out!

I’m back. Again.
I admit that I haven’t been as committed to updating this site as I really need to be. R suggested that I try to make it be a weekly update. I think that is a good idea.
R and I started the South Beach Diet together a couple of months ago. I admit that I have been kind of slacking lately — mainly in the way of eating enough fresh veggies and instead eating too much processed junk. A few ladies in the Moms group I’m a member of had started a diet group, so I muscled my way in. And, since we have weekly weigh-ins, I figure that is a good time to reflect here on how the week went and my plans for the upcoming week.
