A day late, and a dollar short

Sorry about the lack of an update last week, as per our written agreement (well-I said I was going to blog weekly and then didn't do it, that was the written agreeement...). No one probably noticed or went racing to their computers last week, but I feel bad nonetheless.

The last week has been a rough one for me-I got sick. And when I'm sick, dieting and exercise are the last things on my mind, unfortunately. I all but dropped doing Nutrisystem last week, which is fine, but I was able to stay on track and not really overdo it. I ate a lot of soup and salads, or just didn't eat at all on the days that I was super sick. The sickness is lingering, but I feel much better during the day and now it's just the dry, unproductive coughing that keeps me up half the night that is keeping me down.

The one bad thing about not really caring about my diet for the last week was the fact that if I had just been able to drop a pound or two I could have won $100! GRRR! I came in third place in my weight loss challenge, all because I didn't have a loss. I didn't have a gain, but without having a loss, I wasn't able to keep my second place spot. I guess I can't really dwell on that, and by the end of the week last week I was getting some really good workouts in. It felt great! I was running more than I have in the past, and the sweat pouring down my face felt amazing.

As a side note, I also saw a sneak peek of "Hot Tub Time Machine" this week. That movie was just okay, but the parts that were funny were HIGH-LARIOUS! I think they could have done a lot better job, especially with the 80's references, but overall, if there is nothing else to do on a Sunday afternoon, pop this one in for a few laughs.

That's about all I've got folks-it's way too early to be blogging, but I wanted to be sure to apologize and explain myself before it got to be two weeks, and then three, and then four...and then all of a sudden I am skinny with no explanation whatsoever, because people were hoping to take this joyous weight loss journey with me via my blog. Can't let that happen now, can we? Teehee.

Peace out.
