And up again! I had sausage and bitters last night so I thought I would spike. I've also been mainlining cold medicine, too, which doesn't help.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Jschwab, really hope you're feeling better soon. There's certainly seems to be a lot of sickness going around this year whether it be head colds, just gold, or stomach viruses.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Aw, thanks. It turned out OK. I started a new job this week so it was worst possible timing but alka seltzer kept me in together for four days.

Jschwab, it looks like you bounced back after your cold-syrup binge! It's looking like the under-2-5-0 is going to stick! On the other hand, I had words with my scale this morning. I had a big bounce up, and I'm not sure what it's attributable to. Possibly nothing but the whims of the forest sprites or something equally random.

Hope everyone has some great weekend plans. I'm off in a little while to take my dog to the Bulldog meetup. Nothing will make you see the silliness in life quicker than a bunch of ridiculous, wiggle-butt English Bulldogs all in one place!

It was fun and my dog even behaved herself.

I'm bouncing around, up and down again. Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday.

Monday's weigh-in isn't pretty. Sigh. Been eating some winter depression. Totally motivated to get back on track, tho'. Well, today that is, heh heh!

Tempting to take myself out of this challenge at this point, but I'm taking the ugly in stride after almost winning the last one--I can do this!

It looks good on paper but today's weigh in is brought to you by 3 hours in urgent care and my body furiously trying to flush the pneumonia infection out. I've been eating normally but my body has been burning it all up!

A reminder that health is always more satisfying than being thin!

Jschwab, I hope you're feeling better soon! Pneumonia sucks (I've been there). Take it easy and REST!

Going2, winter blues also suck. I know lots of workplaces aren't really conducive to daylight, but try to get as much sunshine as you can. And do whatever you can to boost your mood--laughing can be good, so maybe a funny movie or book. :-)

Everyone feel better!

I'm a bit grumbly this morning, because even though the scale is moving in the right direction, my measurements and BF% (according to my scale) have barely budged in 3 weeks. I was thinking that I'm going to look mighty silly weighing 145 lbs. with the same measurements I have now. (Also, I'm incapable of doing basic math, so my previous "lbs. to go" total was wrong. I think it's all correct now...)

CityGirl8, it might depend on where you are measuring. I don't lose in the ordinary places for a long, long time. My waist and bust hold out a long, long time while my thighs and arms lose inches. It's very frustrating to keep having the same waist measurement while my already tiny butt gets smaller and smaller and more odd-looking.

I've only been back on plan a few weeks and over time I'm sure I'll start to see changes. But measurable results sure are more motivating!
