So I daresay that many of you may have checked in this week to find out how I went on my first week of maintenance. The answer to that is that I didn't weigh in this week due to illness. I've had a stupid fluey tonsilly thing for about a week now, which has had me cooped up indoors for much of the time (apart from when I went out on the weekend to get my nails done of course). I tried to go to work on Monday, but that was a bad idea, and I ended up sick at home on Tuesday and Wednesday.

As far as my weight went, my home scales said that I weighed the same on Tuesday as I did at last weigh-in, so I guess the maintenance thing is probably going ok. Since then though, I've had some killer attacks of the munchies and I have to admit that this week has been the toughest since I started this whole lifestyle change. I've had lots of sugar cravings, and haven't bothered cooking well, so I'm not sure what is going to happen next Tuesday. There's still quite a bit of time though, so I'm hoping that eating more healthily between now and then will help. Of course I haven't done any exercise either due to illness, so we'll have to just wait and see.

Tomorrow morning Flopsy and I are off to Sydney for the weekend, and to meet up with some of the SFLers on Sunday for lunch. Hopefully I will be feeling well enough to walk around Sydney, which will be a great way to get back into some exercising. But for now, I won't be checking in until after the weekend, and very likely not until my next weigh in. So in the meantime, y'all look after yourselves, and do your darnedest not to catch the dumb bug that has stricken down the Mopster over this past week...
