Only Way Is Up


How have I done?
Been sick since Sunday, now no voice. I have not planned, followed, journaled nothing. I have existed and that is ok because this but has knocked me down, but not for good.
I know I will eventually feel better so I am taking things one step at a time, moment by moment trying to eat what my body needs to help heal it self.
We are getting ready to be in the middle of a move so meals will be…well eating from what we already have and buying minimal so we do not have to pack the food. I will still meal plan as much as possible, but it may vary from the original plan.
How do I feel…
Like death warmed over! but this too I know will change…tune in next week
Meal planning
Breakfasts: yogurt/fruit parfaits topped with granola /creamy grits topped with cheese/ scrambled eggs with peppers and onions /oats with natural PB and ground flax drizzled with a little agave nectar

  1. Being ill really makes it tough to focus on weight loss and to add moving to it as well. YUCK! Feel better and rock that scale!

  2. mmm... the haddock w/ pineapple salsa sounds lovely. Might have to try that sometime!

    I know what you mean about being under the weather, the cold/sinus stuff hit our house this week and it's thrown us all off. At Kia's recommendation, I made some garlic lemonade today. Garlic is a great immune system booster and it doesn't taste too bad. Hopefully it helps!

    You're right - the only way is UP! You can do it, Trish! Believin' in you!

  27. Can I suggest that you make your weight loss goal 5lbs? Then when you hit it make it 5lbs again? 20 lbs seems daunting to me!

    PS - get well soon - hugs!!!
