Week 4- Monday

Hi everyone,
    Hope you are all doing well, because I am still not feeling well. The last couple of day's I started to feel better from that stomach flu but it just doesn't want to let go. Yesterday after updating by blog I sat down to have some toast (2 slices/Whole Wheat) and a cup of tea. By the time I got to the second piece of toast I was forcing it down. It felt like it wasn't going to stay down at all. Luckily it did stay down however the rest of the day got progressively worst. Last night I felt like I was a 50 year old women having menopausal hot flashes. I know it's not the same but I was acting a lot like my wife did when she went through menopause. One minute I'm freezing the next minute you can see the sweat running off my head. It is not fun! Since some women can go through this for years, I am extremely happy to be a man. At least I know that the way I feel right now will likely be over within a few days.

    Having said all that, anyone got any suggestions because eating right now feels like a non-option again?
Anything, I'll take anything you have got to try to settle my stomach. No really, any suggestions! I am likely to have that final interview this week for the job I spoke about last week and I can't do it like this and blowing it is not an option. I'll thank you all in advance for your advice.

     Other that that yesterday was still a good day. I was down an additional pound and a half and feeling really good about it. I even got out to the store in the afternoon to pick up a few things. I was interesting to say the least. My son cam with me and at several opportunities he asked me to pick up some snack foods (Chips, etc.). I remained strong and did not give in to his demands, so not bad snacks in the house. There was I small temptation I faced. I was in the refrigerated cheese aisle and found myself looking for the Philadelphia cream cheese onion dip. This is one of my all time favorites and for some reason in the last year the store are not carrying this flavor very often. So, when I see It I usually pick 1 up with a big bag of chips to snack on. Now I'd already said no to the chips but found myself thinking I would change my mind if they had my dip. The temptation was strong indeed. I need to tell you I was extremely pleased to see my flavor was in stock. I stood there for a few seconds pondering my choice (I did not pick up the container). Finally I just walked away. One or two months ago I would not have done that, as a matter of fact I did not on more than one occasion. I think yesterday was a great day for me in the end. I may not have been feeling well but I showed myself that I can make the right decisions. I can change my ways. That's all for today so,

Have a good one, keep strong and don't let little setbacks keep you from your goal!

Thanx,
Looper
