Some updates

First of all, Kristopher is feeling a lot better. He went back to school last Friday, and has been pretty much normal since. Still coughing a good bit, but no longer constant. He dreads the medicine because it tastes really bad. So we give it fast, and he has a chaser with it. It's kinda funny because he takes it and then grabs the drink fast like he's doing shots. But, he gets it down and that's what matters.
The good news is, his pneumonia was not caused by allergies. It was most definitely a cold. The bad news? Both my husband and I have it now as well. And the kids mom has it, and they were off and on snotting for the past week as well. So, it's defintely a cold and a nasty one at that. I can't seem to get relief yet. I've been drinking so much to try to flush it out of me, taking extra vit C, resorted to advil sinus, and now on cough meds too and nothing seems to help. I hope that it's over soon.

Tomorrow is my 2 week check in and first diet weigh in. As of last week, the 1 week mark, I was down 1 lb. This week, I hope it's more, but I've been drinking more than just water. Over the weekend I had a lot of ginger ale because I didn't feel good, and it was the only thing I could handle. It's not entirely unhealthy, but it's still soda and that's bad. So the appt is tomorrow morning and shouldn't take forever like the last few have. I'm hoping for good traffic because I scheduled it for later so that I could take Kristopher to school and not need help from my mom. I haven't told family I'm doing this one, and I have no intention on telling them. I hate the judgement and questions. So, as many appts as I can sneak past without asking for a babysitter, the better I'll be.
Diet is going ok. I'm tracking using myfitnesspal.com, and it's pretty awesome. I can use it thru an app on my phone, and it helps a lot. Plus, I can cheat by just scanning the bar code and it uploads all the info for me. That makes it very easy. Before the cold, I was doing pretty good.

So that's about it here. Busy but boring.
