Alive and still kicking...

It started NYE morning with a tickle in my throat.  By 8pm that evening I had a fever.

Ugh.

I have been sick ever since.  I was a mess all through last weekend.  I couldn't start my 2010 plan because M is very attentive when I'm ill.  He spoils me silly.  Which means lots of hot tea, movies and snuggling but also he believes in "feeding a cold".  So I ate tomato soup (which I'm sure he cooked with milk like he usually does!) and he even made me eat a grilled cheese sandwich on Sunday because he said I wasn't going to get better just from soups and teas.  I also nibbled on snacks that were crunchy and delicious but will remain nameless in case someone else gets triggered by salty foods like I do.

I still think I lost a couple of pounds though because my suit skirt is a bit lose today! :)

So I'm finally back at work this morning and feeling a bit better although my voice sounds terrible from all the coughing.  I had a small green smoothie this morning (spinach, fat free vanilla yogurt and blueberries ~ max 200 cals) and I'm planning on fasting the rest of the day away.  I am going to try and pick up the plan where it stands and do just a protein shake tomorrow and a full fast on Thursday and Friday.

I can't wait until the pounds start dropping and I get the emptiness 'high'!

Happy New Year girls!  I hope to catch up on work and your blogs today.

  1. Aww sorry to hear you were sick and sorry to hear M was feeding you, haha. He sounds so sweet though, glad he was there to take care of you and that you are feeling better now.

    I am beyond ready to fast today as well. I had just a small glass of warm soymilk this morning but your smoothie sounds so much better. I bought a new juicer over the holidays... maybe we can swap some recipes, hehe. :)

    I'll be thinking of you today and stay strong like I know you can!!!
