I am finally back to 100% strength after the week long bout with the stomach flu.  I didn’t feel “right” all week and my progress suffered.  Emotionally I was not good yesterday.

So I did the  only thing I knew would work.  I worked out…hard.  I left it all in the gym.  I am exhausted and I may not be able to move my arms tomorrow, but I am back in the game.  And I feel great.

I did eat a few too many calories today.  I think it may be because this was the first day in a week I didn’t feel like I was going to throw up.  I will watch myself tomorrow.  I worked out hard, and still have a calorie deficit for the day,  but I could have done so much better.

However, it’s February and I’m still fighting.  Many, many people would have given up by now, and I am more determined than ever to keep going.

I’ve lost 6 pounds in a month.    I’ve run nearly 10 miles.    I’ve made this lifestyle into a habit.   Now it’s just a matter of persistence.  Tenacity.  Never say die.    I will not give up.   I will reach my goal.
