Days 13, 14, 15 of my 60 Day Sugar Only Diet
Came out of the fog of sickness yesterday. Despite being down for five days and unable to exercise, I am pleased with three results.
One, my body faught off the worst of the illness and simply required rest to heal. Due to this, I did not feel the need to take any over-the-counter cold medicines, which is a first for me.
Two, by sticking to my prescribed diet during my illness, I lost another four pounds. I am now down to a trim 221 with my goal weight just 11 pounds away. I was able to accomplish this by telling myself that an excuse is an excuse whether you’re sick or not.
Three, I was able to go for a short walk today without getting too winded.  In fact, I think I’ll go out again in a couple hours to get some more sunshine. It feels good to be on the mend without losing too much ground.
My brother Charley unearthed this photo of me being held by my mom as a baby. That’s pretty much how I felt all week, as Lori took care of me.
