Dumping The Fat

This is just unbelievable to me…really, it is, even though my family says I shouldn’t be surprised because, well, I’m sick ALL THE TIME.  So how is this surprising?  I don’t know, but it is.

So this past weekend, my daughters get sick.  The youngest ended up having to go to the doctor Saturday morning and she has an ear infection.  Okay, well, that shouldn’t affect me, right?  I mean I shouldn’t worry about catching it, right?  Wrong.  I caught some kind of funk.  Saturday evening my throat starts feeling scratchy, Sunday I am so tired and achy, and then yesterday, totally congested, coughing, sore throat, the works.  And today I’ve sneezed no less than 50 times!  Ugh!

So the only update I have, which should have been posted yesterday, is that I trained only 2 days last week and did cardio 1 day.  Yeah, I’m a slacker.  Not really, I just had a lot to get done and not enough time to do it, and like most women, *I* got put on the back burner.  I was hoping to make up for it this week, but I guess not :-(  Oh, yeah, and I did check my body fat %, which is down to 30.1, which is -0.3% less than what it was a week ago.  My weight is the same, so that now makes my lbs. of body fat less than 50.  *Woot*  Here are my calcs for this week:

Body Fat % = 30.1% 
Weight = 165
Lean Body Mass = 115.34
Fat: 49.67 lbs.

So that’s a 0.47 lb. increase in lean body mass and a 0.49 lb. decrease in fat lbs. in one week.  YAY! Not too shabby considering I only worked out 3 times total and my eating wasn’t 100%.

Hopefully I can work out later this week.  Right now, I’m doubling my garlic and fish oil supplements, taking my multi, and drinking lots of orange juice.  In the meantime, I’m going to get some rest and use the laptop while I’m resting to look for something to boost my immune system.  This chronic sickness thing is just out of control and I’ve got to find a way to stop the insanity ’cause I’m sick of being sick.
