One friend suggested I back out of a commitment and she found a replacement for me, as a result of my health. My fever has broken, but I am still struggling with a sore throat, head ache, no voice and sore chest. I was supposed to sing tonight...thanks for talking sense to me friend.
Another friend was unafraid of my germs, or my ill son's germs, and stopped by for tea. We sat outside in the beautiful weather, drinking in the Vitamin D, some tea and identifying with each other's lives. Hashing through issues we both find ourselves in, she helped me see that life isn't so bad and I have so much to be thankful for. Thanks for listening and sharing your life friend.
I've spent the last few minutes reading the writings of my blog world friends. I feel inspired by Jennifer and Jen's renewed commitment and energy to losing weight. I want to join in by fighting hard, although on my terms. I know that God has lead me to veer from a specific diet, to break the cycle I have always known, but I can do so with the same kind of commitment that these ladies are tackling their specific diet programs with. I'm with you two - I want to fight.
I have eaten well, making good choices. If I feel better tomorrow, I am hoping for a 5K run, in between the fore casted showers.
Two are better than one! Thanks friends for picking me up!
Eating less, moving more,
Dawne

Sorry to hear that you have been so sick Dawne. Prayers for your continued healing.
I love what Deb wrote.
Dawne-it was so nice to hear from you on my blog. I have been missing you! We are so in the same boat and I find that I can really relate to you and your journey. I dont know if I am the Jennifer you are talking about in your post, but regardless, I have to be honest and say that I cant wait to come off Medifast again and eat like a real person. Two more weeks. LAst week I did not have a loss despite my hard work. So, it is what it is, and I am moving on. I will stick with my committment an do my best. It feels like anytime I get soooo close to the 150's I hit a roadblock. But I decided I cannot think like that and instead I will just move on and keep trying.
I hope you feel better soon. Give your body the rest that your body needs. Everyday on this journey is a learning experience and not every day will be perfect. I think you are doing awesome and you have come so far. I am proud of you.
Jennifer
What is more wonderful than caring friend? You have many of them, too! Fabulous! I hope you feel better soon and get back to doing all that you want to do. Be gentle with yourself... like your friends are to you. :)
