"TELL ME...WHY ARE YOU DISAPPEARING?"

That's what my boss said to me this morning, in his cute little broken English voice when we were having our little morning pow wow. I was proud! He finally is able to notice I have lost a bit of weight. Me too! My clothes had been fitting a bit better and better all the time, but the mere 10 lbs I lost on the scales didn't seem like much a few weeks ago. Especially considering I weighed a good 200 lbs.

Well this morning after his comment, I decided to take a look at the scales again and low and behold an additional 8 lbs had fallen off for a total of 18 lbs since Jan 1!

I don't think that 18 lbs over the last couple of months is too dramatic because of my size. If I was much thinner, I would be concerned obviously.

I am actually quite surprised, because I have had quite a few ad lib days. Just imagine if I had not screwed up all those times, or maybe the way too look at is; my body needed me to screw up in an obscure way. Like maybe I was trying to restrict too much and I need to up my calories to maintain healthy weight loss.

So somethings must be evaluated.

In other news;

I am feeling much better today. Thank you all for your "get well" wishes. You know it has been a while since I have been really sick. My boss will confirm for you that I have called in sick many times before, but I will tell you, that was mostly from being hung over. I can certainly say that I am glad not to be hung over, but I am not too sure I would trade in being sick like I was the last couple of days for that.

I am still a bit weak. I ate well yesterday or should I say I ate. Not necessarily nutritionally well, but I certainly had my fill. Last night I made a quick salmon chili. The recipe from the post a couple of days ago and I will have that for lunch. Almonds and yogurt for snack and we shall see what happens for dinner.

Thanks, again for the "Get wells!" Hope everyone is having a great Friday!
