Healthy You Challenge Update - 02/12/08
Since I missed my workout last night due to this flu thing, I didn't get to have an official weigh-in. The unofficial ones last week showed me over the -70 mark, but I'm going to wait until I weigh in on Thursday to claim a shiny new badge. It will be interesting to see what my body does with this illness. Given the way I feel and what I've experienced the last few days, I would expect to be down another five pounds or more, but I know that the body manages calories differently when it's ailing. I'll be happy if I maintain the same weight.
As far as healthy eating, I'm trying to stay focused on fruits (mainly caloric-but-oh-so-wonderful-on-my-throat orange juice) and fluids. The only "danger" food in the house right now is peanut butter, which is tasting salt-ily delicious to me. I'm doling it out a tablespoon at a time on my skinny bread. I think I'm okay on calories, but to be honest, I'm just not sweating it. My body's doing enough of that on its own. :)
On the exercise front, I've reached Minute #412 in my 1000 cardio minutes for February challenge. Go me! I hope to get back to it really, really soon!
Okay, back to the sick bed (which I'm starting to despise). I hope you all had a great week, and most especially, that you're healthy!

Oh, get better soon, Miss C! Definitely don't be worried too much about the cals right now, just focus on feeling well! As long as it's all good stuff going in, your body should repair itself that much more quickly.
(And unofficial congrats on the new benchmark!)
Feel better soon!!!

You've definitely got the right mind set - your body's got enough stress right now without worrying too much about weight or calories. Sounds like you're doing fine anyway.
Take care of yourself!

I hope you start feeling better soon! I agree with everyone else-don't focus on counting calories etc.,focus on getting better!
Oh boy it stinks getting sick - so many people I know (including myself) have been sick for weeks and weeks with colds, flus, coughs. Feel better soon. I love your blog - very entertaining and some great suggestions.
best,
Fergie
Oh dear, I hope you'll be better soon! Look after yourself!
Thanks for stopping by. I just recovered from that nasty flu bug that was a variant strain not prevented by the flu shot - which I didn't get, anyway.
Glad to be a part of such a positive group!
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Take it easy and get better first, then go back to your routine.
Blessings,
Carol
Take care of yourself. Your body probably NEEDS the calories to fight off the illness.
Cammy, I'm in awe of you 'unofficially' losing 70 lbs!!!
My God, that's fantastic!
Hope you're up and around soon.
I hope you feel better very soon. Congrats on your weight loss, it's very impressive and very inspiring! Don't worry about calories until you feel better. Take care!
You poor thing, hang in there!
I hope you feel better soon. You are almost 1/2 way there in your 1000 minutes!!!YAY!! Get your rest and take care. :)
Hope you are feeling better soon. I spent almost 2 weeks with that flu thing so I can feel for you. Just concentrate on getting better and then you can concentrate on the rest.
I hope you start feeling better! Good job on trying to stay focused even when you don't feel good.
Hope you feel better soon!
