Well, Dustin and I both got really bad colds that started on Christmas eve and are just letting up today.
I am completely not interested in food and would have probably eaten any crap in the house except I am keeping in mind the pictures we're supposed to do soon. I swear if I look the same after this I will cry I ate really well the last couple days, considering I felt horrible. I didn't eat much, but what I ate was good, mostly veggies and protein with a couple pieces of fruit thrown in for a treat. I couldn't stomach flax oil so I just took my fishy pills and I think because of my cold I didn't burp up any nasties. One benefit to being sick. I have been too sick for the gym, which for me is unheard of, but I walked my dog for about 45 minutes each of the last three days. Nothing else though. Unless vacuuming up pine needles off the floor counts.

Hope you feel better hiker . Just rest, thats the best thing to do. Hope you had a super Christmas. Atleast not having an apetite means you didnt cheat as much as I did. I cheated for both of us! Have a happy and safe new year

This cold is still kicking my a@@ but I'm trying to kick it back. I did some lifting in the gym this morning. Did total body since I hadn't been in since Monday due to being ill.
I ate well all day, although still was in no mood for you. Lots of shakes, cottage cheese, veggies, little bit of fruit. Trying to drown this virus out with water, hopefully will feel 100% tomorrow.
I took some new progress pics today so I will post them in my gallery later if any are halfway decent.

Thanks Jill and Stacy, you're too sweet. I don't know about my waist though, it seems to be the last thing to go. I feel like I'm built like a boy - straight up and down. Not that that's bad, just the way it is.
I like your post in your journal for goals for 2004 Stace, I need to sit down and focus on mine.

Have a wonderful weekend honey
Thanks sweetie! It's good to be back on track isn't it?
I just took my pictures and I'm actually really glad I did. I know that with good eating and hard workouts I can get the results I want. I just have to be consistent and stay away from the junk.
I'm so glad you had fun in Chicago! I need to catch up on your journal and read all about it. Take care hon.
