Holidays Were A Success.. But Now I'm Sick

I say this because I was able to splurge on tasty holiday dishes and still lose weight…  I think that’s a success in my book!  I think this is the first time I have ever lost weight over the holidays.

I went to Jersey from Christmas and New Years and had a blast!  Got to eat yummy Cuban food and a few Jersey classics.  Got to spend some time with family and friends.. It was great!

This past Friday I did my first Disney 5k and I kept an average 17 minute per mile pace.  YAY ME!  I did this walking the whole time.  I’m hoping to start a walk to run program soon.  I was also at Disney Saturday and Sunday supporting my hubby while he ran the 1/2 marathon and full marathon.  (I almost forgot to mention that he also walked the 5k with me, coaching me, supporting me, getting me water, and making sure I was ok- Best. Hubby. Ever.)

And now… for the sick part.  I woke up with a sore throat on Monday.. which turned into sore throat and coughing on Tuesday with a fever of 100.  Today I still feel like poop but I don’t have a fever so that’s good.

Since I have the lap band, My surgeon prefers that I get medicine in liquid form or injection whenever possible.  So….I’ve got Phenergan in liquid form for the cough, and I’m taking Tylenol in liquid form.  I guess it’s better then an injection!

Oh yeah, and I’m down about 10 more pounds since last post about a month ago.

Go Me!
