Much better

Yop I am feeling better, still have the tail end of a cough but it's pretty much over.

Well the weight is still holding firm at 41.5kg's ... and I am still eating like a horse. Most people sit there slack jawed as I shovel in seconds on main and then dessert and usually a second helping of dessert too. Not sure why this is that I can eat so much and yet still hold my weight. I guess even when I am not doing CRON I still in a way do it by eating loads of fruit & veg most of the time ... so I am now so used to eating huge amounts that when I eat "normal" food, one small bowl just doesn't do it for me. I guess I should watch that LOL but by keeping an eye on my weight I can tell when I have had a bit too much and then it is back to the fruit & veg for a day or two, seems to work.

A lot of people have commented that I am looking a whole lot more healthy ... I think it took my body a while to settle into the lower weight.

I have started on a vegetable garden WHOOO HOOO! I am rather excited about producing my own organic veggies and will keep you all updated on how it progresses. I have noticed a lot of the CRON people end up planting their own vegetables eventually and it seems this was the natural progress. I am truly excited about this. No more wasted food in my fridge that the rabbit ends up getting.

I am also very keen to get a worm farm and will let you know how that goes.

Sick

It was inevitable that the winter flu would eventually catch up with me.

I was in bed Sunday & Monday but up on Tuesday. I think I got out of bed a little too soon as this flu has had the majority of people flat on their backs for a week at a time and others are still suffering a month down the line. I still have the remnants of a cough and I feel very fuzzy headed with minimal energy. I just feel like sleeping but I am up and about and getting on with things.

Eating has been OK ... I have been holding my weight now for quite a while and am pretty happy with that. However with this incessant cold and rain that we have been having I have to admit I have been eating a lot more while doing minimal exercise (damn flu & rain). I have been hovering at the 41.5kg (91.3 pounds) which I think is OK ... I prefer to be just under 41 but I think I will leave it now until spring as it is just far too cold to be such a low weight. My clothes all fit nicely at this weight. I have been struggling with cravings for Chocolate for some reason. I have never really been a huge chocolate person but have found it increasingly hard to resist grabbing a slab every time I go shopping.

Today is an absolutely beautiful day though with clear skies albeit still bloody cold, the first with out rain for almost 2 weeks. I just hope it holds for a few days. I have so much washing to get dry I cannot see the spare bed.
