I cannot deny that it has been quite awhile since we last posted...we've both been dealing with the sickness that's going around. Samm and I may be in different parts of the country, but our lives often correlate. Amazing how we always manage to do that, but here we are and both of us have been sick for a week or more.
I have managed to forget about weight loss during this time, though I have kept an eye on my weight. I'm staying strong at 166 - I guess my body has established a plateau of some sort. I've been eating whatever my appetite has instructed...I'm not about to deny it pizza if that is what it wants. I'm sick! That's my excuse! I already ate an apple and some orange juice today, so that is more than enough to make up for it. Right? Right!
I've never been one of those people who come back from being sick and are down ten pounds. One of my good friends in high school had mono for a ridiculously long time our junior or sophmore year. It went on for definitely a month. I can't say I wasn't jealous. To not have an appetite would be such a relief.
I've always thought of the people who lose weight while being sick as the lucky ones. I could be exploding for a week long and the scale will not quiver in the least. The number will not change easily in either direction...maybe that's because I am still eating and allow myself the freedom of choice...
Ice cream for dinner? Why not? I'm sick! Never ending shrimp? Why not?! I'm sick! It's the perfect excuse to indulge.
Oh! Gotta go! The pizza's here!
