Being Sick Helps

So I'm back from vacation and back to work and haven't been to the gym yet, though I do keep telling myself I really need to. However, on the bright side, while I was on vacation, I was sick for a week straight with a sore throat and runny nose and just feeling crappy in general, BUT I lost 6 pounds.  And I've kept it off, along with 2 more to date.  So in total 8 pounds, which of course isn't a whole lot but better than being 8 pounds heavier, you know?

While I haven't been actively been dieting per se, I have been watching what I eat more and have cut out a lot of sweets (which we all know are my downfall).  We've been eating salads and fish and chicken, though this past Tuesday I was dying for a cheeseburger so I made myself one and it was
d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!  And yesterday.....well,  I actually had a Little Debbie snack, the peanut butter chocolate wafer things. Normally I am not a Little Debbies fan but these were in the freezer and reminded me of when Reeses made something similar back in the very late 90s and I would freeze them and they were sooooo good, so I tried these and while not as good as Reeses, still they were good.  I wish the chocolate wasn't waxy tasting but oh well, it hit the spot.  Now I just have to stay out of the freezer. lol

Today I only had my coffee (you really didn't think I was going to give that up did you???) and a 100 calorie pack of popcorn and a bottle of water  so far.  I know I should have had breakfast but I didn't.  And tonight for dinner I think it might just be a smoothie to get a jump on the weekend. 

And next week is another week....I may actually hit that gym. :-)
