So only 2 weeks after the last rant I was back under the weather again.  I'm still thinking something is fishy about the "healthy" food I'm eating.  It's just wrong that I can be so unhealthy while on a diet to change my eating habits to be more healthy.  And don't talk to me about the whole "de-tox" thing.  I'm not eating healthy enough to send my body into a de-tox. 

So I lost another 2 lbs again.  I was very happy about that even though I had to spend all of yesterday in a bed.  I couldn't talk because the back of my throat was so swollen it was almost hard to breath.  My weigh-in was on Wednesday (I switched it so my friend wouldn't have to use as much gas). 

Yesterday was awful.  It hurt everywhere in my body.  Like every inch of my skin was part of a giant bruise.  Joel tele-worked and watched the kids while I rested.  It hurt to type. 

I cheated worse than I have since I started the diet.  I made up for the calories I didn't eat on Wednesday.  Then I ate even more.  I had half a slice of Papa Johns cheese pizza.  I had 1/2 a cup of coffee ice cream and washed it down with a Hershey's milk chocolate with almonds bar.  I kept thinking that I shouldn't be eating all this junk because it's not going to help me get over the sickness.  Of course, after indulging myself and not counting the calories, I feel much better this morning.  Perhaps it was the stress of trying to be strict that was messing up my immune system. 

On a lighter note.  Yesterday every time I whispered to one of my kids they whispered back.  It was pretty cute.  It was like we were planning some secret operation.  A couple of times Deborah told me that I "have to talk loud."  I whispered to her that I couldn't and she gave me this I-think-you're-trying-to-put-one-over-on-me look.  Even Richard was whispering.  He told me I should use sign language.  Then when I did he could understand what I was saying. 

So I am feeling better, so I'm headed back to my new house to paint.  I realized last night that I could have rinsed out the paint brushes and they would have been dry by now. 

Have a great day.  P.S. for those of you who were waiting to hear about our closing.  We closed on Monday.  If you want to hear more, just pick up the phone and call.  Those lines run both ways you know.  Or send me an email and I'll fill you in.  When I get a minute I'll post a blog about moving (instead of weight loss).  I'm also going to be putting up some info about the house on my website soon (www.bethimus.com).
