An oh-so-weak day

Tuesday, March 25, 2014

I took a pretty big swig of NyQuil when I went to bed last night, and I slept - as well as one can sleep with such a horrendous cold - much longer than I have in a long time.  It was after noon when I woke up, and I didn't feel like getting up, so I just laid in bed and read.  Until THREE o'clock!!!  I was truly shocked when I saw what time it was when I was finally restless (meaning my back was hurting) enough to get up.

I just lazed around after my shower, and the only reason I took a shower was that my TOPS meeting was tonight, and if I decided to go, I wanted to be ready and not have to rush.  But taking the shower made me so weak, I was beat and just couldn't do much afterward!  I ate chicken noodle soup for my lunch, and that was that.  I played on the pute, trying to figure out more on getting my email over to yahoo.  I only have to get my contacts - my address book - imported over, and I am finished!  Yay, me.  Hopefully, I can do that tomorrow and then I can contact AOL and tell them to cancel my account.  I'm doing what I can to save any kind of money, whether I like it or not.

I went to my TOPS meeting, even though I still wasn't feeling all that great.  I hated to miss because of a silly cold, so I stocked up on cough drops, and off I went.  I weighed in, and according to their scale, I lost 2.2 pounds since last week.  Their scale weighs me 8 pounds heavier than my Wii does, so that is disappointing, but at least that number is going down also!

I came home early from the meeting.  I hung in for a while, but I left 10 minutes early.  I just couldn't sit there any longer.  I felt as though I was just going to fold, to collapse, to keel over and could not keep myself sitting up without support.  It was a strange feeling.  I understand the 'weak,'  but ... maybe my body needed some supper, while I didn't really feel hungry.  Ron had supper ready (for 8:10, when I usually get home), and I did feel better after I ate.  We had Manwich (remember that hamburger I zapped instead of defrosted the other day?  We used it.) and the rest of a bag of french fries.  I ate one of Ron's fruit cups as a dessert, then I found that Ron had bought me a Special Dark bar and had placed it on my desk for me to find.  Of course, I couldn't let that go to waste!  I don't know why he bought that, but I'm thinking I'll keep him.

When I put my food into MFP, I was 475 calories short for the day and it hollered at me. Again.  Sigh.

I'm supposed to walk tomorrow with Lois, but I really am not sure if I'll be able to.  I guess I'll give it the old college try -- we shall see how I feel in the morning.
