Signs of Life!

Both the Hubster and I are FINALLY feeling better.  Whew!!!  (I'm mostly relieved about the Hubster, after listening to his horrible coughing...)  My throat is still feeling a bit sore and I'm still somewhat stuffy (and I still need to get more sleep...) but I DEFINITELY feel better than I have since Christmas.  Yaay!

I worked from home again yesterday - again, I'm VERY thankful that I have a job where I can do that if I need to! I drank a lot of fluid - somewhere around 140 oz. (I'm definitely going to try to keep it up - at least 118 oz. per day at this point - half my current weight) and took in 1382 calories.  I tried to post an update yesterday, but blogspot must have been having some problems...

Today I made it back to work and did pretty well!  Pretty much everyone on my team has been hit with some kind of cold - even one person who lives and works several hours away.  So least I wasn't the one who gave it to everyone! 

There was a bag of peanut or almond brittle left over from the HUGE gift box our vendor sent us for Christmas. (I should've taken a picture of it all before everyone dove in - it was a smorgasbord in a box!)  They've sent the same kind of smorgasbord to us in past years, and this brittle really is delicious stuff!  It was sitting RIGHT outside my cube all day.  Very easily accessible, directly in my line of sight ALL DAY,  and I'd only had a handful of the goodies before I left on my vacation almost 3 weeks ago.  And...  I wasn't tempted.  Not a bit.  At all.  I don't know if it's all the water that did it, or the fact that I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase (if there is such a thing) of this diet when it's easier to be strong than it will be later on.

Today's total intake will be 1272 calories, and 120 oz. water plus my daily coffee, and a 12 oz. diet soda.  Tomorrow (Friday) is my official weigh-in, and then will be the challenge of staying on track through the weekend.  G'night, all!
