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.

I Survived Halloween Weekend!

I really didn't think I was going to make it, but I did.  I'm a little worse for wear this morning, however, the mountains of candy still sitting at Dr GTL's are NOT in my belly and for that I am a happy girl.   I swear the smaller the candy the bigger the pull to eat it.  You justify it in you brain, "it's little, it won't make a difference", or "I can have 3 or 4 - no biggie".  Ugh.  And they just stare at you from the bowl.  Tempting you.  Mocking you.  Screaming at you from the other room, "YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME".... 

So, I had a Kit Kat, and it instantly made me sick.  Crazy huh?  I haven't eaten chocolate since I started the diet really, so now I have determined that, as much as I love it, perhaps it's better saved for really special occasions. 

This weekend really started on Thursday, I emceed the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center's Annual Gala.  I ate well, but good God someone kept filling up my wine glass.  One day I'll realize I simply shouldn't drink wine.  It's no good for anyone.  Aside from the empty calories and sugar, I just wake up feeling like 5 kinds of ass.  Friday was a total wash.  I could hardly get off the couch and I think I went to bed at 6 or 7.  I'm a winner.

Saturday night Dr GTL and I went to a house party at David Wades house.  I was Little Red Riding Hood and he was the Big Bad Wolf.  We looked pretty damn good.  David made some amazing looking baked ziti.  It smelled good.  That's all I can say as I didn't partake.  Not giving in to the carbs!

Sunday I was so stoked to hand out candy to the kiddies.  I have lived in the city for the past 8 years of my life where there were no kids, so since GTL lives in the burbs I got to do it.  I handed out lots of candy and didn't eat any (except the aforementioned Kit Kat)!   Saw some really cute kids and a few that were a little too old to be trick or treating but it was pretty cool.  Then it was Boo Bash.  Recycled the costume (why not?), GTL stayed home :( but I had fun.  The bands were awesome and the costumes were so original! 

So now it's Monday, back to the grind.  Gonna get a nap, go running, make some good food for dinner tonight, and call it an early night.

Weekends are a Killa...

Had a great weekend, Abtoberfest on Friday - that was insane.  Pics up here if you'd like to see the insanity.  Seeing those guys made me realize it's time to start working the abs.  You can finally see my waist and I realized there is some muscle under there, so I need to get going!  Any good ab workout ideas??
Took a weekend off from the diet, didn't get crazy, but we had a wedding and stayed a friends house on Saturday and you know how that goes.  So, back on it this morning!  I'll weigh in today and see where we are.  If you are interested in the diet, there is a seminar coming up, click here for info...
Not too much more to report this morning, I'll touch base later this afternoon.  I have to start sewing my costume ASAP, I swear if I get this done by Boo Bash it will be a sewing miracle.

5 POUNDS BABY!!!

It's been a week of challenges and excuses, but got on the scale yesterday and 5 lbs in a week!!!!!!!  Hellz yeah!  I have been slack on the exercise, haven't done as much as I should have, however, I am way sore from the small amount I did do.  I swear I'm walking funny.  Yeah, you are funny. 
The diet is going awesome.  New systems are so hard to start and changing the way you eat is tough when you are used to eating crap, but once you spend 3 solid days on this plan, your cravings go away and you are rarely hungry.  I eat 6 times a day for crying out loud!  Much props to Dr GTL who got me on the plan and keeps me going.
Tonight is the B's home opener and I'm so excited!  Got some cool new threads at Lucy's League and I am ready to go!  Bringing bars with me so I don't get enticed by the Garden food!!
Go B's!
