Well I undid the damage of the last couple of weeks this week. I am feeling better each day and will try week 3 of the “Couch to 5K” program (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml) probably on Wednesday or Thursday. I want to make sure I am all the way better before I do too much. I haven’t been eating nearly as much while I’ve been sick which is a great thing. Usually I overeat because I seem hungry, but I am trying hard to match what I eat to how much energy I am using. The only way to lose weight while I’m sick is to do it with what I eat since I can’t exercise.

Rev, at least you realize that you have to make up for the exercise. Congrats on the loss!
It may seem like a slow process to loss weight, but with consistency and effort it will begin to progress much better every time. Keep up the great work, and don’t worry about set backs now and again, they happen to everyone.
Congratulations on starting again and your weight loss. I have to “re-lose” some weight myself to undo some of my own damage.
Good luck with the “Couch-to-5K Running Program”.
