Wednesday

What wild weather we are having. Yesterday morning we were in the middle of a snow blizzard. The flakes falling were so huge you couldnt see beyond our window... it was like one big white-out! About 10 minutes later it stopped snowing and just started pouring rain! Thunder and all!!! So strange. Today it is still a little cloudy out, but it doesnt look like a storm. Not that it matters, we are staying inside once again today... yes, we are still sick. I cant tell if I'm getting better.. this cold seems to trade one symptom for another. My throat feels less swollen, but is now actually sore when I swallow. The girls are still sick and have developed a yucky cough. If not better by this afternoon, I am taking them to the doctor.

As for my diet.. being sick is doing great! Although I actually fell short of my calories yesterday. At 8 o'clock last night I was putting in my dinner on Fitday.com and realized that I had only eaten 1083 calories yesterday... I actually thought of having a protein shake or something.. but part of Phase I is following a strict cut off time for eating at night. I cant eat anything after 6:30 at night. That seems early, but considering I am in bed at 8:30.. that follows the 2 hour cut off time. So, I actually squashed the thought of eating more and went to bed. Today I will just have to keep a better watch on how much Im eating and get a good 1200 - 1500 calories in.

As for excersize, I did my Tae Bo Abs workout for 30 min. When Hubby got home I borrowed his IPOD and rocked out while lifting weights for about 20 minutes. It felt good to get the blood flowing, but it sure did exhaust me! Today I have my Tae Bo cardio day... my Biggest Loser workout.. and some good stretching. Hubby wants me to start teaching him Tae Kwon Do, Karate and Kempo but I have been so tired by the time 8:00 rolls around. Maybe tonight.


Someone asked about "Wicked". The author is Gregory Maguire. He wrote other books like "Mirror Mirror" , "Son of a Witch", "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" and "Lost". I have not read any of the others yet.. though I do have Son of a Witch already... I bought them at the same time.

Guess I cant put the day off any longer... have a blessed day and we'll see ya'll tomorrow!
