Losing Half, Gaining More

And alive. Oy – being sick knocked me OUT! Thanks for all of the well wishes and encouragement on my lack of motivation post. It’s so fantastic to hear and see so many stories of success with running and it’s officially encouraging me to investigate some spring/summer/fall 2010 5k options so that I can get signed up and commit SOON.

Tonight is my weigh in/meeting and tomorrow is the official “start” date that I intended  for myself since it’s the official mark of 2 years to my 30th birthday. I’ll report back on my loss and meeting later!

I posted yesterday that I was just feeling icky, unmotivated, like I was getting sick. I was – I have strep throat. I didn’t go to Weight Watchers to weigh in last night because I wanted to do nothing but lay in bed and stare at the wall by the time my husband got home and it was time for our meeting. I’m hoping that with antibiotics I’ll be feeling a lot better in a day or two and I will go to a Friday or Saturday morning meeting. Popsicles, gingerale and tea are all doing very little to help the pain that makes me wince every time I try to swallow, but it sure might help to move the scale a little bit this week;)
