How many of you can honestly say you didn't gain any weight during the holidays? Well, not only can I make such a claim but I can say I LOST six pounds. I wish I could credit heroic self-discipline but I can't. Two weeks of being stuck in the house with a cold will do the trick. At least it did for me.
Today would be the start of my third week of this misery. But I am feeling much better and tomorrow am going to declare this virus from hell defeated and then get back to a semi-exercise routine and attack some long delayed chores.
The home imprisonment could have been worse. It gave me a good excuse to watch some of those bowl games on TV. I chose eight of the best from the 34 bowl games and thoroughly enjoyed them (one more, the Fiesta, is tonight, and the BCS championship game is Thursday). My favorites have been Utah's win over highly favored Alabama, Nebraska's close win over Clemson, Ole Miss's crushing of Coach Mike Leach and his Red Raiders, and USC's defeat of Penn State.
Oh, sorry, I am getting away from the weight loss thing. Just looking at the positives from this cold, I lost some weight (I hope it doesn't return soon but it probably will) and I saw some excellent football games. Also, now I have even more appreciation of my dear neighbor, Kim, who has watched over me like a mother hen throughout this ordeal. Without her delicious meals I would probably be too weak to write this. Kimberly, you are a saint and an angel combined. God bless you, sweetheart.
