The flu sucks. Of course, it’s likely not the flu. Certainly my idea of the flu from when I was a kid was anything that made you spend more time in the restroom than out.

That was yesterday and last night.

It kicked my butt.

Other than being dog tired, I think I’m over it. What’s another sick day at the office. I hate to miss work, although it’s more fun now than ever…

The up side to the whole flu thing is that I jump started my weight loss program that is new for this year. I will have one entry that will track progress as I try to drop 25 or more lbs. It’ll be private for a while to see if I actually do lose anything. Of course I will lose some, but need to make the time to exercise. I even bought ear warmers and gloves to run with during the winter. Then there’s my MiFi XM. If that’s not motivation, I don’t have it!

I know it’s all about lots-o-exercise and stopping alcoholic beverage consumption, not really about what I eat in general. Walking and running with XM in my ears should help.

I had the unfortunate ability today to watch the Dr. Phil show – all about the new weight loss challenge. I didn’t get excited about it – but made me realize that I’m not so bad. However it’s not about anyone but me.

Maybe it’s time to join the new YMCA (okay, it’s not open yet – so should be a safe bet).
