Staying on plan when sick

This week I have come down with an ear infection and a sinus infection. I think I might be getting strep throat also. My ears hurt, my throat hurts, and I feel like crap. I haven't exercised at all since Tuesday. Yesterday I didn't eat all of my Points, and today isn't looking so good either. I have no idea what the scale is going to show tomorrow, but this definitely was not a good week for me.

Affirmations

I AM getting stronger every day.

I AM getting leaner every day.

I AM getting healthier every day.

Leslie Sansone kicks my butt!

I just got 7 Leslie Sansone DVDs from ebay. I already had one, and have been using it for a little while now. This morning I used one of the new ones. It amazes me how much I sweat when I use them. Trust me folks, it is a real workout!

Keeping myself accountable

I've come up with a few ways to keep myself accountable about exercise. First, I emailed my friend Tanya & asked if she could be my accountability buddy. She doesn't live close enough to drag my butt off the couch, but she's a good friend who won't be afraid to yell at me. Second, I put up a whiteboard at my desk that I will see every day. I plan to record my daily activity Points there. I wrote down yesterday's date, and wrote a big fat 0 next to it. Hopefully that will help motivate me.

Becoming accountable

Lately I have been slacking off when it comes to exercise. It's getting cold out. It has been rainy. Blah, blah, blah. Any excuse. I really need to get up off my lazy butt and get in some more exercise EVERY DAY. Not just a few times a week. I think I need to make myself accountable to not just myself, but someone else. Someone who will yell at me if I don't exercise. Someone who will harass me, and ask me how much exercise I did that day. Hmmm... who should it be?

Boredom sets in

We are really slow right now, and it shows. I am bored out of my mind. I want to eat. A little while ago, I took a walk down the street to our other building, just to get up out of my seat. It at least helped cure the boredom for a few minutes. Only 15 minutes to go... I can make it!

Weekly Weigh In

I lost 4.4 pounds last week! Holy Cheez-Its! I have now lost 52.6 pounds! Woo hoo! 2.4 pounds more, and I will be back down to my lowest weight in the last 10 years.
