So NO Power90 with Tony Horton for me JUST yet today.
I REALLY had planned on starting yesterday but by the time I got home, the cold hadn't gotten any better, it still felt like someone was sitting on my chest, and I am just EXHAUSTED. It's to the point where if it isn't gone by tomorrow, Jeff and I are going to run to a Medi-Center type of place and make sure I don't have pneumonia.
We figured until it's COMPLETELY gone, it's probably not worth the risk. I ended up in the hospital for four days, with a severe asthma onset, and steroids for six months the last time I had a cold I couldn't shake. I definitely don't want to go through that again.
That said, I woke up a little better today - My voice is coming back nicely (though I'm not quite ready for karaoke) and the person sitting on my chest has gotten a little lighter. Once the cold is gone for good (probably Thursday), I hope to start Power90...Or at least walk on the treadmill for a couple of days and maybe start Power90 next Monday.
So even though there's no Power90 today or tomorrow, I AM sticking with the diet. I am very committed to NOT cheating unless I've been good for two weeks. Once I get with the program, I'll only be allowed a cheat day every two weeks if I've exercised AND maintained my diet, but since my lack of exercise was out of my control, I'll allow myself a cheat day in two weeks as long as I stick with my diet and don't go overboard - No chinese buffets or eating out for every meal.
I also started back on my multivitamin and wheat grass supplement today - I am horrible about taking pills but I definitely feel the difference when I take thse so I want to make sure I do that. Because I'm sick, I also doubled up on my Vitamin C to help kick this cold. I don't know how much it will help but it definitely couldn't hurt.
Jeff is going to do my weight and measurements for me tonight so I can update everything. I'm nervous but I know about what to expect so it'll be okay.
That's about it for me for now. I'm going to start blogging more often to talk about what's going well, and what isn't going well.
Once I am sure I'm TRULY back with this, and once I get down below 300, I MIGHT actually start giving out this blog address so friends and family can keep me honest. For now, I don't want to. Not only because I want to make sure I'm sticking with it before I do but because I'm embarassed. I'm embarassed by how much I started out weighing and I'm embarassed by how much I gained back. I know that they are friends and family and that they will support me, but I'm not QUITE ready yet.
I'll get there...I'll get there.
