Sick Sucks and Six Months

So, my illness continues, and I finally got to a doctor today and got some drugs (nasal steroids, mainly), that should take a few days to kick in. Until then, my cough, stuffiness, and fever have kept me out of things the past week, as I expected. I didn't make it to the gym, as I'd hoped (lucky I made it out of bed a few days).

This week's weigh in: +0.4lbs
Total weigh in: -15.9 lbs.

Not as bad as I expected, given my diet of comfort food and my low energy week.

Here's an interesting point of fact:

Tomorrow is 6 months since I started this. I can't really believe that. Six months. Do I feel good about what I've accomplished so far? Sometimes, yes, sometimes, no. Mainly yes, but still realize I have much work ahead of me to get through the next 8 months to my ultimate goal. I know it's attainable, and I know I've done a ton, and my life is different than it would have been without taking these steps.

I thank you all for the support you've given me so far, and don't leave me now, just because I'm in a sickness rut... I'm not contagious! :-)

Thanks for reading!

You are doing great!! Think of how far you have some in 6 months - the healthy eating is easier and more managable plus you have been regularly going to pilates! I am proud of you - I know Jillian would be proud too!
