Thanks for the props. It's just nice to know there is someone starting on the same program I'm on so we can compare notes from time to time.

I'm trying to keep everything clean, and coming in around 2500 cals/day, give or take 100. Tonight was one of those nights where I found myself sitting at 2100 after dinner and had to hunt down food to eat. Could be worse, I guess.

Sorry, no w/o yesterday or today. I am fighting off the flu, since the boy was so kind as to share it with me. I am hoping to be back at it tomorrow.

Thanks Arch. Me too.

Thanks to all for the kind words on the pics as well. I'm not yet to the point I want to be, but I'm getting there. Heck, being sick has helped too! (I've dropped a couple of pounds, mostly because all I've eaten in the last 2 days are a bowl of soup, 2 bagels and 2 bowls of cereal. I think it's the first time I've eaten cold cereal in 4-6 months. But it stayed down, and that's what counts.)

Don't sweat it. I haven't touched a wieght since I started feeling bad. Geez, if I don't know not to work too hard when getting sick by now, I'll never learn.

Well, no w/o to speak of. Trying to let my body recover from the flu. Both me and the boy are feeling much better, about 85% I'd guess. Since I wasn't at the gym I went out to lunch with my department, which was a nice change. I think they appreciate it more now, since I don't do it more than once a month.

Can't wait to get back at it Monday. I am headed out of town Thursday morning, and have already talked to the hotel about their "fitness center" (which will work for cardio on Thursday) and lined up a nearby gym for lifting Friday. I'll have to be there by 6 so I can be done before my 8am meeting, but I'm READY!!!

Not as much as I am. I'm dying to head to the gym today, but still not at 100% and don't want to chance a relapse. I might sneak in some light cardio tonight or tomorrow morning just to get going a little.

I can't wait. I'm allowing a little splurge at dinner, since we are doing the Valentine thing, but tomorrow will be full tilt!

I'm making a mexicanish dish I like to call chicken enchiritos. (The name means little, since all mexican food is basically the same four ingredients, right?) It grilled chicken diced and simmers in red enchilada sauce, then folded into a tortilla with FF beans and 2% cheese, grilled on both sides, then covered in more ench. sauce and thrown in the oven for about 30 min. Hit it with cheese again when it comes out. Easy and very good. (I'm working on the nutri. content to post in the recipie section, but this is a sneak preview.)
