Day Two Hundred and Seventy-Four - Weigh in #39 - My Sick Day Was Nothing Like Ferris Bueller's

Sick days are never fun.  As much as we all wish it'd be like Farris Bueller's Day Off, it is usually more like a scene from a horror movie.  Being stuck in bed with stomach pain is probably the worst way I can imagine spending my day (or at least one of the worst ways).  I watched TV and slept a lot of the day, but the stomach pain made that pretty miserable.  I haven't really eaten (mainly because the thought of food right now makes me sick(er) to my stomach), so I don't have much to post about.  I do want to make sure and fill you in on my weigh in this morning.

I went ahead and weighed this morning, even though I was sick.  So please keep that in mind when it comes to this weeks results.  There is a good chance that the amount of weight I'm down is a little skewed from my stomach virus.  I had a terrible start to my week and was pretty sure I was only going to be down a few ounces at the most.  When I stepped on the scale this morning, I was down another 1.8 lbs.  This brings my total weight loss to 123.6 lbs with a current weight of 242.6 lbs.  I love the fact that I was down again, but I expect to put at least a few ounces back on when I start eating again.  So until then I'll be excited about continuing my journey and still losing weight.  I'll fight hard this week to keep this weight off and move forward to lose even more.  I may be sick and unable to exercise, but that won't stop me from losing my butter half.

My calories today were few and far between.  I had a few saltine crackers, and some Gatorade.  I couldn't imagine eating anything.  My exercise today was nonexistent.  I contemplated riding very slowly on the bike for a little while, but then I feel asleep.  A day of rest must be what my body needed.
