Week 34 - illness strikes

Stats:  -1.5
Burn: 2268

Rough week.  It started out ok, but on Tuesday morning, I had a very sore throat.  I had been aware of it throughout the night.  When I swallowed, it felt like razor blades.  I did not work out, and I took a sick day at work.  I got an appointment at my doctors to make sure it wasn't strep (it wasn't).  The next day, I didn't feel that much better, so I took another sick day.  I wanted to make sure I was feeling better by the time I left for my Florida trip.  I felt better on Thursday, but decided to work from home so that I wasn't infecting my co-workers.  In addition, I had to leave early to catch our flight, so it just made sense.  I actually worked out Thursday morning, and I did ok.   My weigh in this week is from Thursday morning because I wasn't going to have access to my scale on Friday morning. 

So, with two days off from exercise this week, I still managed to have an average burn of 2268 - not too bad considering I spent two days in bed for the most part.  Oh, and also I got my period! 

I had started my new "supplements" on Saturday, but I did not take them on Tuesday and Wednesday because I was thinking it didn't make sense to take them while I was completely inactive.  I am feeling ok about the 1.5# loss, and I wonder if the supplements helped.  I guess this coming week will have a more definitive answer on if they are helping or not.  I'm still only taking 1 a day until I completely shake this cold.

Ok, so I've done ok on 2 days of my Florida trip.  Friday Chuck and I had a big breakfast, but I only had a small snack before dinner.  Today was similar.  Too much alcohol though!  I'm going to try to not drink all week.  Saturday night we are going to a comedy show, so I will save the drinking for that night only.
