Saturday, Week 17:

Thursday I went to work and it is a blur.  I was so sick.

Friday I felt just awful but I went to work.  I thought I would be OK since I was given the task of delivering and picking up cores an hour and a half away and then after returning to the office I would finish up the work on my desk before leaving for vacation.

Well... I left in the company truck and thought I would be fine.  I left at 11:00 and headed down I-10 looking for my exit to take me to College Station.  Seventy three miles from San Antonio I found out I was supposed to be on 290.   To say the least it was a long, around the world trip.  My head was in a fog.  I was not thinking well at all.  I missed lunch but stopped at a little store and bought peanut butter crackers and orange juice.  When I arrived back at the office (after dropping off and picking up cores) it was 5:15 p.m. and I was running a temperature.  I worked till 7:30 to wrap up those loose ends on my desk before I could begin my vacation.  Man!  I felt bad.

I went home and took drugs and went to bed!!

This morning I got up and called the doctor, the office was CLOSED!!  I needed new drugs!!  So, I went to the Redi Clinic at H.E.B.  (Not bad.)  I got a stronger antibiotic, Flonase nasal spray, and upgraded to Mucinex D.  I am feeling better already.

Today is Saturday... my weight in day!  
I have lost.... "drum roll please"... 3 pounds!!
Now before you go and say "well that is because you have been sick"  I have been eating!!... well except for Friday when I took that scenic trip.  But I have been eating because when I am sick I can not diet.. no rabbit food for sickness.  That brings me to 171 pounds and 33 pounds lost.  Say a prayer that I will have weight loss at Walt Disney this coming week!!  I plan to eat... but I plan to be choosy.  I will not be logging my food while I am there.  We will be returning next Saturday, December 10th... late!  I will weigh in on Sunday... we shall see.  It would be awesome if I lost just one pound next week!!  We shall see!



Inspirational thought:
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."
Psalm 23
