So, today is Thanksgiving and I'm spending it at home with my husband, who is recovering from the stomach flu. He's lost 10 lbs in four days, and we even took a trip to the ER last night for fluids. He was pretty dehydrated.
So, instead of the dinner I planned with mine and his family I decided to set up the Christmas tree today. Hopefully he will feel better by Saturday so we can make Thanksgiving dinner then since I already have the food. But isn't that what changing your lifestyle is about - going with the flow?
The good news is after my Monday night binge with the girls at work, I got down to business. Tuesday could have easily been a bust, spending most of my mid-day in urgent care with hubby, but I went back to work afterwards, got through my first step kickboxing class, did a few laps around the track (made it running 3/4 of the way around, sad but true), and came home and made a sensible dinner. Yesterday, my colleagues and I went out for a birthday lunch, but I was good there, too. I had steamed chicken and broccoli, brown rice, miso soup and a fortune cookie. I also had plenty of water and green tea. I only lost a half a pound this week so far, and with this weekend I may gain, but at least I know I stayed on track. Especially during a time of stress, which is the most important thing of all.
Happy Thanksgiving to anyone reading.
