So the computer got fixed and I went down for two weeks with the Humboldt Crud. Today was my first walk in that time and it was nice to be out with the dog even in the wind. So strong, the river had waves. But it's nearly 20 feet lower than it was last month after 25 days of rain. This is the catch basin on the city side of the levee.
So I was in bed with a fever, sore throat and sinus infection. Sleeping 12-20 hours a day, sipping soup and tea, I gained two pounds the first week!!!!! But at the docs this Monday I had lost them. Antibiotics have made a tiny inroad in my head congestion. Looking forward to feeling good again.
I was reading April 2011 Good Housekeeping at the docs office and saw the article about Dr. Oz's Superfast Slim-Down Plan. It gives menus for a month saying losing 10 pounds and 2 inches is possible with this eating plan and 60 minutes of brisk walking a day. He also says a tape measure is better than a scale so you can determine belly fat. A person's waist should measure less than 33 inches! I was pretty young when that last happened, being shaped like an apple even before puberty. Over 37 inches is in the danger zone for health. My waist was 43 inches when I started on this plan to lose weight for my health and now, it's 42.5. At least I'm moving in the right direction.
