Not luck Matt.
Hope you don't get sick again. Is there enough vitamin C in your food? Maybe you need to add fresh fruit, & some garlic too to help fight the Winter bugs.
That's a good question, I'm not sure.

Well you know what they say be careful what you wish for, my weights going down but I'm also still kind of sick. Of course I stupidly went to a meetup I had been planning on going to for a while though I only stayed for 2-3 hours.

I spent most of the day recovering from New years. I tried not to go out since it was in the teens (in F it would be negative numbers in C!). It was so cold that my dog didn't want to stay out. I may get her a dog sweater today.

You have done very well Matt. Your 8 years ago photo is lovely though. Now for a photo of you with that nice smile. You should be very proud of yourself. A photo of Misty in the new sweater would be good. I bought our little dog a jumper(that's what we call them) just for fun & she looks hilarious!

Ugh my weight went up, maybe b/c I didn't do as much walking last night. I did most of my walking in the morning, I think my dog got frustrated bc she found some discarded fried chicken on the ground that she tried to get (unsuccessfully).
