Oh no, and with your big move...hopefully you're feeling better soon!

Thank you. Woke up today with a sore throat. Blegh.

N DAY

B: Atkins shake + 6 peanut butter crackers

L: Chili fries (healthy chili, homemade healthy air fried fries with seasoning) + apple + bell pepper + hot sauce + jalapenos

D: chili with two hot dogs and hot sauce + 10.5 saltine crackers + 4 pickled okra pieces + pineapple/apple/pomegranate arils bowl (only ate a little of that)

Woke up with an even more sore throat. UGGGHHH. I don't have time to be sick right now. I don't really know what to do. I'm not sure if I've caught something or if it's from all the dust I've stirred up while packing + pollen outside with the warmer spring weather. I really really hope it goes away and gets better. Ain't nobody got time to be sick and pack up a house to sell at the same time. I wish more than anything that I could stay at home in my pajamas with some hot tea and rest with a good book or movie. At least I can have the tea at work.

How are you of you doing? I hope everyone is having a great week. If not, hang in there. Better days are ahead!

I am so happy that this lifestyle has finally clicked for me. I almost look forward to each day of eating now, as it's no longer a stressful thing. My dietitian wasn't so jazzed about the idea of Red Days. I'm trying to decide if I'll nix red days and just keep green and yellow days (obviously trying to keep NWS days to a minimum). What are y'all's thoughts on Red days?

One of the biggest things I'm hoping for in my next house is honestly a staircase. I want a staircase that I can go up and down on over and over for a set period of time. I don't like going to the gym at this point in my life and I either walk or work out at home. I think a staircase could ensure my legs look awesome as I lose weight. Do you guys do stairs at all? I don't have stairs in my current house.

I'm definitely fighting temptation to get back on Instagram. There are so many great ladies who have lost significant weight there that I would LOVE to connect with, but at the same time...I do believe most social media is a scourge and a blight on society (I worked in Social Media for 11 years and would NEVER do it again). I do love connecting with people, though, so I've joined a Discord server for folks losing weight and I lurk on reddit communities. But...there is just something so intimate about people sharing their stories on Youtube or Instagram. I'll never quit Youtube. I love longform content. But there are definitely people there on Instagram I used to follow who I would love to check on and see how they're doing. I even had a few Instagram friends back in the day. But I value my privacy and my sanity. So I will stay off. I'm also listening to a book by a former Meta employee called "Careless People" and it definitely motivates me to stay off nearly all social media.
