Today I am grateful for another day of sunshine.
Hope any of you in the path of Hurricane Sandy stay safe! 
Still occasionally blowing my nose or congested and not much coughing. Grrr.... More than 2 weeks now. Hubby has had it more than a week. We are going out of town Thursday for 4 nights so hope we are more energetic by then, if not totally cold/flu-free. We have a friend's 60th birthday party to go to and are making it a longer trip. We'd like to see her newest grandchild but won't do it if we might be contagious.
I think I can manage to keep my appointment to get my teeth cleaned tomorrow. I'll stop in the gym afterward and do a cardio workout.
Planned to go to the gym this morning but woke up very low on energy. Hubby had a restless night which woke me up a lot. Did a good workout at home though.
Workout at home:
Tried out my travel cardio workout which I intend to do on our next long trip in January:
Been doing a bit too much snacking - rice cakes, oatcakes, so need to get strict with calories again until we go out of town Thursday, and again when we come home - although I'm planning on treats for election night (for comfort or celebration).
Menu:
TOTAL: 1501
Progress as of today: 38.8 lbs lost so far, only 0.2 lbs to go!
Today I am grateful for that we don't get much snow and it doesn't stay long when it does! (had flurries yesterday but didn't stick) 
Flurries coming down the loch during sunset, which made the sky look a strange colour:
Less coughing, less nose blowing today. Slowly but surely.
Mostly clean eating today - if I can stay away from the caramel rice cakes! Also doing quite a few taste tests of husband's delicious home brewed beer.

Today I am grateful for sunshine and autumn colours!
Have a great weekend, ladies!
Made it to the gym today. Decent workout but certainly not a full one. Clean eating today.

Today I am grateful for friends!
Better than yesterday, coughing less, still blowing my nose. Depending on how I feel when I wake up tomorrow, I'll go to the gym but won't overdo.
Keeping up on the presidential campaigns in the US. Mailed in my absentee ballot a couple of weeks ago. I'll be staying up all night election night to watch the returns. I'd rather just stay up than to get up in the middle of night to watch. Needless to say, there will be snacking and alcohol!

Today I am grateful for having enough energy to do a fairly decent workout!
I'm not dragging nearly as much as I was but just can't get my lungs cleared so still coughing. Also either runny nose or congestion. So I don't think the gym is a good idea yet. I was able to workout at home today, not quite the full strength workout but close.
I can attest that the traditional treatment for a chesty cough does work fairly well - lemon, whisky, honey and boiling water.

Today I am grateful that I'm finally getting better.
Thanks for all your well-wishes during my whining.
Clean eating today. Will do my strength training this afternoon and some time on my exercise bike. Will go the gym tomorrow and see what I can do. Will not even try spin class Thursday! I'd swear my glutes are heading south again. 
I'll browse the blogs today and catch up on how you all are doing.

Still have a cold after 9 days although it's much better. No exercise, won't even mention what I've been eating and drinking. Our friends went back home yesterday. My husband went with them into town every day to enjoy the Gaelic music and festival. I just couldn't do it but did manage to eat out with them Friday night. My husband now has the cold though.
The scale says I'm 130.4 but I'm wondering if that's because all my muscles have dissolved?! 
J/K.
Healthy eating today, but that's because all the junk has been eaten! I don't know if I can manage the gym tomorrow as I'm still coughing and blowing my nose, but I do need to go grocery shopping. I will at least do my strength training at home.

Ugh. Coughing coughing coughing.
No gym again. Really hard to workout when you're blowing your nose and coughing non-stop.
Taking care of myself but hard to get good sleep when I wake myself up coughing. House is clean. Friends arrive in the morning. Just finished making brownies and they smell wonderful. My husband who is most definitely not a sweets eater thinks the smell is awful. What a weirdo!
Picked up some strawberries and raspberries but it will probably be the last time this season. The price is going up, up, up.

Get better soon my friend <3
Today I am grateful for lemon tea.
Cough, sniff, raw throat.
No workouts but I've been getting ready for our guests. Guest room is ready. Baked oatmeal raisin cookies yesterday and froze them (except for the 2 I ate).
Today I'll finish housework, then rest. Might attempt to do some strength training, can at least do the 7 min arm video routine. Need to pick up a few things at the store tomorrow but not sure if I'll stop into the gym.
Really hope I don't give my cold to the female half of the couple as she's here to sing!

Ugh. Sore throat! Could barely speak when I woke up (which my hubby enjoyed!) Felt it coming on yesterday. Wouldn't be so bad except we have guests coming Tuesday and staying until Saturday! Not going to the gym this morning. Just going to get some laundry done and otherwise stay on the sofa with a big pot of lemon tea and tons of diluted juice.
Planning to do my strength routines tomorrow and maybe some time on my exercise bike. Got too much to do before guests come! Housework, bake oatmeal/raisin cookies, bake French bread, bake brownies, make pasta sauce..... ack!!
Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Sorry that your hubby came down with the cold as well :( Hope you guys feel better for your trip. Have a good one Annie <3

I hope you guys are both well enough to make your trip. I have a dental cleaning scheduled for Wednesday and the office told me to call first to make sure they're open due to the storm. So I may be able to put it off haha ;) Have a good one!

That is a long cold--here's hoping it's all you get for the winter!
Great workout! Hope your week continues to go well!
