Sick sick sick.

Whew, has it really been ten days? Sorry 'bout that!

I've been on and off sick with what has escalated into a miserable upper-respiratory infection, so I am off work today and tomorrow to recover. Went to the doctor today to get some meds (which I'll admit, I should have done sooner) and informed her about the diet and all... she said my lab work was excellent, so "why are you on a diet?" and I told her how much I weighed in April and that my BMI was 29. I also said, "we were toying with the idea of having a baby in the next couple years, and I didn't want to be overweight BEFORE I got pregnant." She concurred, and said, "Well, you're absolutely right. If you're at a healthy weight when you get pregnant its better for and easier on you and the baby. Plus, you'll be in the habit of eating well and making good food choices, so keep up the good work!"

For the record, no, we're not "in the market" to get pregnant anytime soon, but it's always a good thing to be prepared. God has a funny sense of humor sometimes.


Stats:

• Week: 6 of 11
• Countdown: 38 days to go before the goal date
• Current Weight: 152
• Total lost (since April) : 25 pounds
• Total lost with MediFast: 19 pounds
• Jean size: 12's are pretty baggy, but I'm not quite in those 10's yet...

Now that I'm updated, I'm going to go lay in bed and cough up a lung or two... blegh.
