and here we are

i lost 2 more pounds this week... unfortunately i would say the majority of it is from the nasty stomach ailment i have been fighting...  i thought it was bad food.  maybe it was.  not sure.  last week i thought it was a high test burger that had upset my stomach.  this week there was a roast beef sandwich and that broccoli soup.  i decided it was probably the soup.
i woke up in the middle of the night on wednesday with shooting cramps through my stomach. it felt like i had done over 1000 crunches.  i thought it had passed by yesterday and then last night again - chills and cramps for the majority of the evening.  i dont know what was revolting in my system but there was/is definitely something not going right...
i finally fell asleep around 5am and woke feeling OK
i went to the grocery store with a list of bland foods - yogurt, chicken noodle soup, apple sauce, cream of wheat... you know the drill... i also bought items to make chili con carne and chicken tika masala...  i know not sure what i was thinking with that menu choice... sooth the stomach and then revolt against it..
not quite sure...

i am 3 pounds away from my basic goal weight.  this will have me finally in the right BMI range... not like taking a year to get there... then i want to lose another 5 pounds to give me some buffer... i am excited for this home stretch  - of course that means i will gain a few more pounds before dropping the next 3.

the problem with losing 20 pounds since last year... and it will be between 25 and 30 when i am done...  things don't fit!  all of my jeans are too big...  even the ones that i bought in april are too big already.  and the bras - gosh the bras - the one i decided to wear today in the midst of ailment is just silly big an not supportive - but hey i have spent the day on the couch watching An Idiot Abroad, sitting on a heating pad so... 

i am restless at this time and would just like to feel better...
and here we go with season 3 of An Idiot Abroad...  might need to cozy on up here on the couch
