Day 41

I've developed a sinus infection over the weekend. A couple of day's last week my ears started ringing, which is usually an indicator that my sinuses are clogging up.
Saturday I felt stuffy, but yesterday I felt like I'd been hit by a truck and could not move.

I'm taking a decongestant to alleviate some of the pressure and congestion, but I think it's causing me to retain liquids too, since the scale read 270 Friday and 273 this morning. Other than getting sick, my weekend was fine.

Three of my best friends came over Saturday and we hung out, they ate/snacked and we decorated the house for Christmas. It was fun - my daughter had a blast. It worked out well - they were all sitting at the table eating and my best friends 6 week old baby started crying - so I sat at the table with all of them while they ate - and I held the baby and rocked him back to sleep. It worked well and I got to circumvent the "why are you not eating" questions.

I ended up taking some nighttime sinus stuff that night because it had started to hit full force and ended up feeling drugged all day yesterday. I pretty much laid on the couch all day yesterday and slept, except for the volleyball game - but afterward I came home and laid on the couch again. I guess I'm sicker than I thought.

I have continued to drink my shakes - and lots of water. Hope to feel better soon and see those pounds fall off.
