unexpected jumpstart

So who could have guessed that after starting this journey on getting healthier and of course losing weight, I would get an unexpected(unwanted) jumpstart.  That’s right, the stomach flu.  It started in our house on Christmas eve and took us out 1 by 1 slowly stealthily.  New years eve I had fitful sleep and it began New years day.  By the time I wanted more than water and crackers I was down 4 pounds.  I know it is water weight but if I can keep with the portions that my tummy handles at this point I should have a good start on next weeks portion control plan. 

Update-  Other than a small swig of 7-up mid sick time I have stayed with my water challenge.  I think that is helping me bounce back from this.  Getting thirsty so off to get another cup of water, have a great day!
