This is how I feel today. Just bleh. I feel good and positive but also just this uck feeling. Part of the reason is because..well it's that time of the month today. sorry if tmi but that's what's happening. Another part is I still have this bug in my system. Last week was a full out flu and now this week it's become some sort of stomach bug. I just can't get my calories in. Yesterday was pathetic calorie wise. I managed to keep my fluids up, tea and coffee and water but my meals were almost nonexistent. It worries me a little bit to be honest. I did manage to force myself to eat some strawberries for lunch though... 

I cooked baked chicken for everyone, no oils or grease. Just baked it. 

 

 



You can see a lot of the grease dripping off of it, I poured it out in the sink and it could easily have filled a cup! It smelled really good so I took 2 bites but that 2nd bite hit my stomach hard. I just couldn't eat more. 

I also made rice with veggies as a side: 


 

 

 

 



A dash of salt and pepper, no oil. It tasted great but I really only could taste it. My appetite just is awful now. My kids loved it though. 

Besides this stomach thing I felt normal and yesterday got in a really great tae bo workout. I had a LOT of energy and really kicked booty. But I have to admit I'm worried, I must have burned a lot of calories and I know I have to eat a certain amount to keep my body losing weight healthily. 

Last night I forced myself to eat a grilled chicken sandwich. I actually did have a bit of appetite so it wasn't too hard but the whole night I was waking up with stomach pains. sigh. 

This morning I felt great so I decided to get out for a jog: 

 

 

 



It was beautiful outside and worth it although a little too cold. My hands became ice hands along with my nose and lips. Still worth it though! 

I feel great! but my appetite is still down. I drank tea and coffee so far this morning. I tried a couple bites of my sons bagel but couldn't get more. My stomach is making weird noises already. It's tom time too and the blah feeling is growing as the day goes on. Usually I want to eat everything in sight during this time... not this time. 

So, gonna take some ibprofen and survive the day. Get all my work done and hope to feel better soon. This is the longest virus I've had in a long time. 

Gonna cook in a little bit and try to eat then. I need to meet my calories. I just keep telling myself that. 

Hope everyone is having a strong week!
