Try and get some rest. The flu is so grotty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-checkin-tuesday#post-130670 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:50:39 +0000 Lee Hovey 130670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, lots of positive attitude and progress from everyone so far this week, great job ladies!!!</p> <p>So sorry that you are sick Michelle! I can relate... I just started back at work last thursday, after 6 weeks off from back surgery. Then monday I fell violently ill from the stomach flu, yikes! I am finally back at work today and plan to hit the gym right after I leave the office.</p> <p>This will be my first reall (doctor approved) gym day since surgery, so I am keeping my goals very small (like, just show up and get on a machine), and I am looking forward to starting physical therapy tomorrow as well.</p> <p>As for weight, between post-surgical sickness and lack of appetite and then the flu, I am actually down 14 lbs in 5 weeks. Some of that will come back quickly I am sure as I rehydrate and get back to normal eating, but I hope to use it as a starting point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-checkin-tuesday#post-130636 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:32:33 +0000 Srujana 130636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feel better soon, Michelle and Khris' DS.....I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I miss this round of cold/flu bug that's going around the office.</p> <p>Work ran so late that I missed my gym class, but I made up for it with bellydance later. Have a show coming up in two weeks, so major practice is needed. =) Didn't have much of an appetite and ate pretty healthy...woke up early today to make a smoothie at home instead of my usual Starbuck's chai. Will weigh in tomorrow morning, but TOTM just started, so I'm expecting a bit of extra poundage on the scale...need to grocery shop and actually make some of the recipes that I've been hoarding for weeks... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-checkin-tuesday#post-130624 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:38:42 +0000 Sarah 130624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday was a great day for me. Bryan and I got the thumbs up from the doc to start working out.<br /> We walked for two miles (briskly!). We got up this morning and did weight training. I opted out of the deadlifts and ab work because my injuries are in my low back to tailbone area. I'm being cautious, but boy, it feels great to be back. :)<br /> My calories were down to 1200 and I was eating purposefully - no mindless snacking. Every calorie made sense and had a purpose. :)<br /> I weighed today, so I can keep track of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-checkin-tuesday#post-130621 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:17:55 +0000 Ele 130621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, Michelle. I only just got over a bad cold (which started off with a fever), so I know how you feel. I hope you feel better soon. </p> <p>I did well yesterday, up to a point. Lots of exercise at work and mainly healthy options food-wise. I think I ruined it all in the evening, though. I made the most delicious curry for dinner and had seconds! It was a new recipe, so I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Perhaps something less addictive for dinner tonight ;)</p> <p>I did just get back from a run, though- first one since I got sick at the beginning of the month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-checkin-tuesday#post-130618 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:05:16 +0000 chewyspaghetti 130618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, we are fighting a cold/cough here too. Well, I am fighting it on DS's behalf.<br /> I didn't get any cardio in yesterday, but I did my exercises (and I am sore- so I must have done a good job!), and I did ok on food/water. My weight is down a little bit today. I went grocery shopping last night, so now I have some more options which is always nice.<br /> I hope everyone starts feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-checkin-tuesday#post-130617 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:03:58 +0000 chellebrate 130617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you kick the flu today, Michelle. </p> <p>Good job, Marianna!</p> <p>[My focus this week is exercise.]</p> <p>I ended up strength training (squats, weights for the arms, crunches, etc.) at home Monday night, since I couldn't go for a run. So it wasn't a loss. (Yay!) Tuesday I took my clothes with me to work and ran before I left and picked up my boys from the sitter's. I plan to run again today providing we don't have a staff meeting after school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-checkin-tuesday#post-130612 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:52:15 +0000 marianna 130612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Feel better, Michelle! I've had a cold for 3 weeks already... quite evil!</p> <p>I'm doing well. I have absolutely no food in the apartment so I'm making do with what I do have... toast, brie, tea, apples, oatmeal... not a huge variety but I won't be able to go grocery shopping until tomorrow when I have some money. At least I'm staying within my calorie range!</p> <p>I worked out yesterday and will go to the fitness center for at least 30 minutes today too.</p> <p>So far so good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-checkin-tuesday#post-130608 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:44:19 +0000 Michelle 130608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like I'm the first one in today, so thought I'd get the daily check-in thread rolling. </p> <p>My major accomplishment yesterday was not to die of plague. The flu raged on all day, resulting in me eating very little and moving less (bowl of oatmeal with blueberries mid-day, bowl of chicken and rice soup + slice of toast in the evening, massive amounts of fluids all day and that's it). I'm feeling marginally less feeble today, but I'm still off work in hopes of shaking this thing off. I intend to eat more than yesterday in order to get strength back,but exercise isn't on the agenda beyond maybe a short walk for Reva's sake.</p> <p>How'd everyone else do? </p>
