This is for the Friday. I've stayed the same. I'm happy with maintaining but a little disappointed. I have been really well behaved and no sugar for 3 days. I'm going to try no sugar over the weekend.

It's not a gain..and I bet you see a dip next time you weigh - just keep doing your plan.

Thanks Pat. The scales have been up and down all week. I've been thinking of you. I kept telling myself it will average out - that's what Pat says ;) I'm finally going to try gluten free this week. I bought some GF bread. It's not horrible like I thought. In fact it's delicious- the texture Is a bit cake like.

I maintained this week; I tried to be careful. Still didn't get those 2 pounds off that I gained the other week.

Well done, everybody! Well done!

It's Sunday and the scales went down this morning. God bless you Pat! You were right. I'm invited out to dinner tonight so the no sugar goes out the window but at least with other people around I won't binge ;)
Good work everybody. We can do this. We can. We can!!!

Monday evening here. Soon to be Monday morning on the other side of the world. I lost 800 gms woo Hoo!! I think that's 1lb 12 oz ? Or is 12oz= 1lb? Well it was a loss anyway. I've just baked and iced cupcakes for my kids school lunches. I was all ready to have one. Just one I was telling myself. And then I didn't do it. I did not do it. Yay for Tamela. :)
I hope the rest of you have a loss too :)

The good news is that I lost 7 pounds. 

The bad news is that I lost 7 pounds since Sunday night. Whatever Rick had I now have and I'm living on Gatorade and ice chips. I finally had a whole piece of dry toast this morning that I've managed to keep down. I've still doing the dry heaves, but there's just nothing more in my stomach to bring up. Even opening the canned cat food makes me sick....I never realized how stinky canned cat food is. Lord, it's nasty stuff.

Nasty headache, too, and I think that's bc I'm so dehydrated. I'm going to try some chicken broth with noodles later on today and see if that will help.

I went into work yesterday afternoon for about 40 minutes so that I could review a plan that the surveyor brought in on Friday afternoon. He brought it in late, but I told him I'd get it done by the meeting last night. I went back home and didn't go to the meeting. No sense in infecting everybody.

So after living in the bathroom Sunday night into Monday afternoon, I've been pretty much in bed. Really tired and very weak. 

I took sick time Monday and today. And am taking some vacation time for Wednesday and Thursday. I don't have to be back to work til Friday. I should be fine by then.

No exercise Monday or today....I don't feel up to even walking. Will try the treadmill tomorrow, if I can keep start keeping food down.

(I scared the crap out of Rick. He's in Oregon and he'd been texting me Sunday night....well, I was busy in the bathroom and didn't hear the phone. He texted me Monday morning and I must have still been in the bathroom. He tried calling me on the phone, then he called me at work and I didn't answer. Then he called the cell again and I finally answered. But I must have sounded pretty bad because he didn't recognize my voice. I got him calmed down and now he won't stop texting me.

Good heavens Winchester  - that sounds awful.  Keep getting rehydrated, and I hope you are back to being able to eat real food by tomorrow, and that today is much better than yesterday!

Tummy bugs are terrible Pam. It sounds like a bad one too. :( I hope you feel better soon. I'll be thinking of you.

Hope you're feeling much better soon Pam.  It's unfortunate that Rick is away, he would've been a big help taking care of the kitties.  It's a smart move staying home, just rest. 

Yes sometimes the cat food can be really stinky.  I stay away from all the pate's, they are the worst.  Friskies cat food with gravy is all I buy for Autumn, they don't smell bad at all and she loves them.

Get better soon, Pam!  That's a heck of a way to lose weight--but I'm seriously tempted...
 Christmas 2012 was spent much the same way in my house. DH first, then, just for Christmas Day, me. He had the runs part more; I got the vomiting part more. Fun, fun, fun!

Thanks, all. I'm really in the feeling sorry for myself mood, which doesn't help. Rick's gone, I'm sick as heck and this headache is terrible. I was doing fairly well today. I thought if I drank a bit of coffee that the caffeine might help the headache. Well, I didn't keep it down long enough for it to help anything. Back to the store tomorrow morning for more Gatorade, I guess. I couldn't hit the store today because I took a sick day from work, so I can't go out....not even to the supermarket.

I kept the broth down and a few noodles. And some dried toast. That coffee was a little much, though, even though I didn't drink it all. 

I hate vomiting. Just the thought of it makes me cringe. I have a hard time cleaning up after the cats sometimes. Thank goodness, nobody has thrown up yet...I don't know if I could handle it right now.

There's an article on the local news tonight about this virus that hit pretty much an entire elementary school district over in the Scranton-Hazelton area. 200+ students are home, although the school director was quick to say that some of those students are home because the parents don't want them in the school while the virus is going around. It's bad, too, with lots of vomiting and diarrhea. And it lasts for days. Which is what happened here. I don't understand why it took so long for me to get it from Rick; heck it was a good week til I got sick from the time he started with it.

I have not felt this badly in a long time. It's horrible. And I'm really in a "poor Pam" kind of state. I thought about going to the doctor today, but all she's going to say is, "Well, with your history of allergies, I really hesitate to give you any kinds of medicine. And that will be $25, please." Know what I mean?

I only feed pate, for the most part because Mollipop throws bits and shredded and such up, pretty much every time she eats it. I don't know why; she's always been that way. She likes the other stuff, especially the gravy flavors, but she always brings it back up. And since they all are willing to eat pate, it's simpler just to buy pate for all of them. I didn't realize how stinky it was....honest, I never noticed. Until yesterday. I opened the two cans of cat food, got three dishes filled, and ran back to the bathroom. The poor cats didn't know what to do. When I came back out to the kitchen, they were all patiently waiting at their places around the kitchen, bless their hearts. Honestly at that point, they could have jumped up on the counter and served themselves and I would have said, "Good kitties!" The poor kids don't know what's going on.

Mollipop stays right by my side, whether I'm in bed on the couch. She comes into the bathroom with me, too, I guess, just to make sure I'm going to be OK. I woke up this afternoon and she was lying next to me in bed. She's trying to take care of her momma.
