Rough week!

This has been a really bad week. I haven't been back to the gym since my mega-workout last Friday. When we got home, Caleb was complaining that he wasn't feeling well, and by Saturday he was running a fever. It got even worse, and Noah got it Sunday. By Monday, Chris was real bad and Caleb was back at school. By Tuesday, I had it real bad, and Caleb was home from school. Yesterday, we were ALL home with it. I passed out in the shower. Washing my hair and feeling a little lightheaded one minute and waking up in the bottom of the tub hurting the next minute. It was the strangest thing. And I couldn't move either of my hands, they didn't hurt, they were just "frozen". Very wierd. So we all went to the doctor yesterday afternoon. We got some antibiotics and stuff, so we're all feeling much better today. YAY!

Even though I haven't been working out, I'm still losing weight! YAY! I am down another 12 pounds, for a total of 20!!!!! I am so excited. I didn;t feel like I was looking that much different, but Chris and I took pics and compared them to the "before" pics, and there is a noticeable difference. He's down another 15, btw, for a total of 25. I am 33% to my goal. I want to lose a total of 60 lbs by June. Sooner would be better though. But to hit the June 15 mark, I've got 40 pounds in 14 weeks, so that's only 2.8 pounds per week. Shouldn't be too hard! Gotta figure that I've lost an average of 5 pounds a week so far, and I haven't really even been pushing myself that hard, AND I've had a whole week almost off of walking. So I'm going to start pushing myself a little harder. Going to go to the gym 4-5 days a week instead of 3. I don't know why I kept putting this off, I thought it would be so hard. I guess I was just lazy, and didn't want to put forth the effort. It's not hard at all. So if YOU need to lose weight at all, just start! I got tired of thinking I would never be thin again, and that it was harder for me to lose weight than other people, but it's not true! And I am having fun doing it!

OK, that was my speech/bragging for the day! Gotta go finish the laundry (anyone wanna come help?) No, really!
