It has been a while

I know I haven't written in a little bit.  But I got a pretty bad head cold a week ago, and wasn't exercizing because of it.  And for sure a salad for lunch does not sound as good at work when I'm feeling like shit!  So most of the time I ate Top Ramen for lunch, and whatever for dinner.  Surprising thing is...I weigh 200 lbs still, and have for the past 5 days straight.  So hopefully we won't fluctuate up anymore, and will continue to go down.  My son Michael is visiting, and I would like to keep to a healthy routine with him here, because he could definitely use it!  It is so quiet in the house tonight without Nico here for the weekend.  He usually goes for walks with me.  I tried to talk Michael into going for a walk, but his tummy wasn't feeling the best, which is actually pretty normal for him.  So I ended up going for a walk down to dock by myself.  It is such a beautiful night.  Slightly overcast, but still pretty warm.  I stood at the end of the dock, just soaking up the view.  It was so cool, little fish were flipping up out of the water.  They got at least an inch above the water before going back down.  It is not a sight that I often see.  It was the perfect night down there.  It makes me want to do that walk again and again.  I didn't walk as long as I usually do.  I am pretty sure my cold turned into a sinus infection, that I will try to get rid of the natural way, before going to the Dr. to try and get antibiotics.  I would like to get down to 196 before my birthday, but with a little over 10 days to go, I'm not sure how successful I will be.  But since I don't feel really horrible anymore, I am going to try to keep up with my exercizing this week.  I told Michael I would take him for Sushi one of the nights this week!!  Can't wait!
