A Sick Kennedy is an Unhappy Kennedy...

I used to be the sick girl.  If someone who worked in the building next to me got a cold, I’d have it within the hour.  I was sick at LEAST once a month and had to do double shots of Nyquil as I had built up such an immunity to it’s sleepy ways.  However, since I’ve been eating better and exercising, I haven’t been sick.  Really.  Like, at all.  So yesterday I start to feel that scratch in my throat and I know the evil bug has made it’s way into my system, and I’m pissed! 

I left work yesterday and was in bed by 11:30.  Dr GTL made sure I took some Vitamin A and some other concoctions he whipped up for my health, but I was sure to take a healthy pull of the Nyquil. I woke up sometime around 3ish to an empty house not exactly sure where I was.   I got about 1/2 a bowl of Ramen down and was right back to bed.  Woke up again at around 10:30pm and then was up and down from midnight until the alarm started  screaming at 3am.  Can I just say Nyquil gives me some wacked out dreams.  Straight up weird stuff.  I really should write them down, but I never do and I’m left with a vision in vapor of what I thought I saw.  Dreams are funny like that, if you don’t take the time to remember they are gone in an instant.  I remember the main players in the dream and a few locations, but other than that it’s gone.  So strange.  I’m looking forward to more Nyquil-inspired dreams in an hour or two. 

Needless to say, I had 1/2 bowl of Ramen and a handful of vitamin A yesterday and that’s it.  Today, 3 crackers and more A.  Ugh.

Day 1 update...

So I'm halfway done with the day and I've got some good things to report and some not so much.  So...
The Good..
The weight loss system I'm on (which rocks) allows me to eat 6 times a day.  I've started setting the alarm on my phone so I know when to eat.  I usually have my "lean and green" meal at dinner, but had lunch with the suit.  I had grilled fish and shrimp with a salad.
As soon as I finish this bottle of water I'll be done with my water for the day.
I got in all my other meals, I'll have a shake before I leave for the event I have to do at the Circus and a bar before bed - so yeah me!
I'm walking to the T instead of taking a cab.

The Bad...
Blue Cheese dressing
No G today
I got an iced coffee from 7-11, took one sip and realized it might as well be a milk shake (threw it out)

I want to thank you guys for the support, it means a lot.  Helps me stay accountable!

Well, I'm off to finish the L and head to the Garden for the circus.  They are making me a clown.  Insert your "but you already are one" joke here...

Bikini? Really?

I honestly don't know what I have gotten myself into.  I have just booked our December trip to Jamaica and, while talking to Dr. GTL about it I said, you know I really want to get into a bikini for this.  Next thing I know I've said it on the air and now I have to do it.    I'm scared I will fail, to be completely honest, and the fact that I've said it on the air means I will fail on the air - Ergo - failure is not an option.
Soooooo....  I've got a plan and now I just have to put it in motion.
I'm on an amazing diet - I've lost 15 lbs already, but then totally fell off the wagon, so I'm back on this week and it's going well.  I'm back on my vitamins, which I had to go off of for 2 weeks after my procedure and I could totally tell the difference.  If you'd like info on the diet I'm on, contact Dr GTL he can totally square you away on the diet and all things wellness.  I do my diet through him and he has helped me tremendously, he's a great source of support, I really couldn't do it without him.
Also, I joined a gym!  I started at Boston Athletic Club in Southie - I'm swimming and today I start with weight training. 
I'm scared silly, I really am.  But I'm determined and nothing gets in the way of this redhead!  Except chocolate, man I love chocolate and it's EVERYWHERE! 
I'm off to eat Meal #2....  Here are some BEFORE shots for your review.
