Getting Closer!!

1.4 pounds closer to my goal!! My size 14 jeans are getting really loose. I can't wait to go out and buy some size 12's. It's been a long long time since I got into size 12!!! I also lost 2 1/2 more inches since the last time I got measured. 67.25 inches lost in total That is just the bust, waist, abdomen and hips.My son still has been running a high fever at night with terrible coughing. He has missed 3 days of work, but had to go back to yesterday whether he had a fever or not. He just started this new job about 3 weeks ago and they don't offer any sick days or health insurance before 90 days. We got through the ice and snow storm last weekend without loosing power. A lot of people are still out of power, and now we are under a blizzard warning from 6 am Thursday to 6 pm Friday.

My son's fever hovered around 99 degrees all night cause he was up alternating Motrin and Tylenol. Around 2:30 pm this after noon he started chilling and sure enough he spiked a temp of 103.0
He wanted to go home, today so I reluctantly took him home. I know he will be more comfortable at his house and in his own bed. But I worry about him. I am a big worrier!!
We made it through the ice and snow storm without loosing power. The trees outside and power lines are sure drooping though!!

Snow, Ice & High Fevers!!

Saturday, February 24th 2007

Well I am sitting here hoping the power does not go off. We have been getting ice pellets, and freezing rain off and on all day and now on top of that heavy snow! 140,000 people in Iowa have already lost power.
I asked for this day off a week ago, good thing too cause I didn't really want to travel home in this weather.
My son has been sick since Thursday night. Sore throat, headache, dizzy, cough, runny nose, achy body. I talked to him last night when I got off work and his temp was 102.5 with Tylenol. He called me today, saying he was worse, that when he coughs he is coughing up green stuff with blood in it. So I braved the ice and took him to the walk in clinic, ended up being a 2 hour wait. His temp was 102.5 when we arrived, shortly after we arrived he started chilling, by the time the doctor came in his fever was up to 104.8!! The doctor said that motrin would work best for bringing down his fever. After she checking him out, she said his chest sounded a bit raspy. She said it probably started out as a virus but he now either has acute bronchitis or the beginning of pneumonia, and since he doesn't have any health insurance she wasn't going to do a lot of test, that she should just treat it regardless of what it is. So she gave him samples of Omnicef. By the time we got back to my house his temp was 105.8!! I was like OMG OMG OMG OMG, we gotta get some motrin in!! We have been rotating the motrin and then the tylenol and his fever is staying way down, thank goodness!!
So far I haven't gotten any exersize in! I just have to get some in! I can't remember if I have mentioned this before or not but I have discovered yoga! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It is so relaxing and it truly does give you a good work out.

Not too bad!

Well I didn't do too bad, considering I didn't get any exercising in last week, I lost 1.4 pounds! I have HAVE to get my workouts in this week.
We have had absolutely beautiful 50 degree weather this past couple of days. This weekend I heard a major snow storm is coming! So we will see what happens!!

Back to work I go!

I am feeling much better after being sick for almost a week. I went back to work today, I wasn't looking forward to it, but I made it through LOL!Haven't gotten any more exercise in this week either, I can't even imagine what the scales will say at Jenny on Wednesday night.It's back to yoga and cardio with Chris Freytag asap! I actually kinda miss working out! It's funny, I never thought I would say that!Today was unexpectedly pleasant outside. It was sunny it got up to 47 degrees!! Such a welcome change after being in the deep deep freeze for so long! I am beat, heading to bed so I can get up early and EXERCISE! YAYYYYYY

Not 100 lb loss anymore :-(

Well I have no longer lost 100 pounds . I gained 0.2 lbs. I started to get sick on last Sunday evening Feb 11, 07 scratchy throat, and a headache. Everyday that passed I got worse and more sick. So yesterday I went to see my doctor and I have strep throat and sinus infection. I didn't get all my exercise in last week, so I gained 0.2 lbs . Which is ok, it will eventually come off. I just has to!!

I Made It!!!

Woo Hoo I did it, it did it!! I have officially lost 100 pounds!!! I can't believe it! It seems like it was only yesterday that I started on this incredible journey. And incredible it has been.
It has been so cold out I can hardly stand it! I will be so glad when the warmer weather comes!!
