Day Two Hundred and Ninety-Eight - Finding Ways to Pass the Time


After having sat in bed all day for three days straight, I really don't have much to write about.  I did get up and about the house a lot more today than I did Friday or Saturday.  I had absolutely no fever, which made for a much more enjoyable day.  I think the antibiotic is really starting to help, so I shouldn't have any trouble going in to work in the morning.  So, if you've been wondering what I've been doing for the past few days, it's simple.  I've been sleeping, reading a little, playing games on my phone, and watching all eight Harry Potter films.  Yes, I did watch all eight of them.  I hadn't watched them all straight before, so I spent yesterday and half of today watching them.  It was a good way to make a couple days stuck in bed a little more enjoyable.

I want to end this post with this thought.  There are going to be adversities along your road to losing weight (or any other goal in life).  Sometimes you can fight off and overcome them or change direction and avoid them.  There will also be times when you just have to wait out the storm.  While doing so you can complain the entire time, or find a way to make it more enjoyable.  I can't do anything about not being able to workout these past three days.  I was able to make the time more enjoyable with movies, TV, Social Media, etc.  One thing is for sure, I didn't lose my focus.  I have been waiting for tomorrow morning when I can work out.  This won't stop me from losing my butter half.

My calorie intake today was a little low, but my food choices were much better.  I had a salad for lunch and tomato soup leftovers for dinner.  I'm looking forward to getting back on my exercise bike in the morning.  We'll see if I've lost much from my time off.
