I’m still here - I am, I am!!

I’ve really enjoyed reading up on what you guys (& gals!) have been doing these last two weeks. Great stuff! As for me, I have been down with a flu bug for the last week that has just really done me in! 

I’ve been taking naps, eating chicken noodle soup and drinking plenty of water… not by choice mind you (laugh) but I can at least report in that I’ve lost 3 pounds

I am hoping to be over this little bout in the next few days (fingers crossed) and have signed myself up for the local Cardio Kickboxing class. I took it last year and loved it… so I am really looking forward to getting back into it. If all goes well, I am hoping to start on Thursday evening of this week. I dont want to push the “getting well” phase, but I am being positive and hoping for the best. Worst case scenario it’ll be Monday of next week…

I think one of my biggest “issues” is breakfast. In the last year or so I have been either skipping the breakfast meal altogether for several cups of coffee (with plenty of sugar) - OR I have opted for eating out… which usually involves greasy meats and gravy or a Sausage Egg McMuffin (ack!).

So far, that is my first major accomplishment: I have been consistently eating a cup of Basic 4 Cereal for breakfast every morning. This is a good change for me, obviously, and it has a lot of immediate benefits. I have more energy, for example - and it cuts out the craving for something sweet too.

I have been more concious of what I pick up for snacks and meals, but have not gone on a full-blown “diet”. I am making small but smart changes there, and am focusing more on drinking water (up to half a gallon a day so far) and exercising regular (which I hope to begin again later this week).
