Day #160 - Resting Up to Fight This Cold

I woke up this morning again, still feeling sick. This is the third day in a row that I have felt this way and every one of those days I have pushed myself to do more and more. Today on the other hand, was a different story. I think I might be trying to do to much and I am not letting myself rest enough, to try and kick this cold in the butt. So I decided that I was going to take a break from everything today and to stay at home to rest. Of course it was hard to rest the last few days because I was in the office and trying to get work done. And on top of that, I dragged myself to the gym every night. But I really can't think of any other reasons why I am still feeling like crap. So the only thing I was conscious of doing today was eating healthy and I took my medicine every six hours. I am hoping that this strategy will be enough to nurse me back to health before I take off for my next business trip on Tuesday.

Another objective I made sure to follow through with this morning was weighing myself in, like usual. And unfortunately my friends, the constant battle with weight fluctuation showed its ugly face yet again today. This morning I weighed in at 233.8 lbs, which just so happens to be 1.4 lbs more then I weighed it at yesterday morning. To tell you the truth, this little spike in weight doesn't really surprise me. Especially since my last official weigh-in (Saturday, Oct 30) was 238.2 lbs. So it is obvious that I have lost a little over 4 lbs since last Saturday. And by now, we all know that a healthy weight loss rate per week is 1-2 lbs. So I think it is only natural that my body is leveling out or maybe it is due to something else, I really don't know. Regardless, the weight loss is still happening and I am just going to have to wait a little longer until I achieve my current goal of reaching 232 lbs. Whether it happens tomorrow or in the near future, I can guarantee it is going to happen! I hope I am finally feeling better by tomorrow, so I can get back to the grind in full force.

With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:
