Day 1 of 21

Today was a pretty crap day from the health standpoint. I stayed home today with a pounding headache (have one now the 3 ibprofeun are wearing off) and just feeling weak.) In my bordem, I actually did work today…stupid…and then decided it would be good to bake cookies. NOW THAT IS A TRIGGER FOR ME. However, I know that I spent a small meals worth of calories on ‘tasting’ cookie dough and the final product, but I tracked everything. I took my vitamins, but haven’t drank enough water yet (my weakness).

I went to the doctor and he said that I have a viral infection, yes I knew that, and put me on some nasal spray and anti-histamines. It hasn’t gotten my headache and/or what I suspect as a fever to reduce. BUT, he did say that if I was feeling ill come sunday, the day of my run, then I am not to run. I almost started to cry. BUT, the thing which I realised is: 1. I have no idea how I’ll feel on sunday so there’s no use in worrying 2. I can walk it.

So, DAY 1 was successful.

24 points (for those who know weight watchers)

Not enough water, but getting there

Starting weight of 176.7lbs. (wow..eating the crap I did last night wasn’t helpful)

I feel good..mentally

I feel horrible..physically
