Runny Noses and Scratchy Throats

Day 68

I weigh and measure tomorrow! I'll be sure to post the results. It sure seems like a long time since I post results last. . . . Oh, well--I'll do it tomorrow! 

I made it through February without coming down with a sinus infection, sore throat, the flu, upper respiratory infection, or any of the various viruses that are floating around. I say this because I am trying to fight off something now. I've increased my water consumption, which had fallen below the gallon I was drinking every day, to almost a gallon. I'm being mindful about getting enough and even trying to get more sleep. But Plants vs Zombies is so much fun and is quite addicting.

I truly think that part of my fighting off the illnesses that seem to almost multiply around me daily is my new lifestyle--specifically healthier eating habits--and some of the natural ingredients in the Xyngular products that I've been using. I know I focus so much on weight and inches lost, but these products are really health and wellness products. I just know that in order to get healthy, I've got to lose the weight and inches. 

I guess I'm saying all of this to remind myself this: Just like doing the eating plan and losing the weight isn't always easy. There are days when I just want a huge plate of spaghetti (more for emotional reasons than anything else). There are days when I may gain a pound or two, or weeks where I only lose 1 or not even that. In my overall well-being, there are times when I will come down with a virus or something akin to one. I will get tired on some days. I hadn't been really tired, like need a nap tired, since I begun this journey. Today I am exhausted. I just want to sleep. In fact, I will leave in 2 1/2 hours, walk the dogs, eat a quick supper, and go to my bedroom to fall asleep as soon as I can. My first thought was, "Oh, no. This isn't working any more. There is no more Xyng in my step! What will I do?!" 

Then I stopped, processed what I was thinking, and realized I was being silly. One pound gained does not really delay overall weight loss, and one day of feeling tired and having not much energy while fighting off a cold, at the very least, doesn't mean the products have stopped working. I'm sometimes prone to overreacting.

So, I'm going to get some snuggle down into my bed, pick up some Kleenex, and maybe some diet Ginger Ale--I love the way it burns my throat when it's scratchy--and get some more sleep!
