Bump in the road: Pros and Cons

I'm sick. I'm not fighting off a cold, I have a cold and I do NOT deal well with being sick. Sinus pressure, post nasal drip, and a runny/stuffy nose make me want to kill everything! But, there are pros and cons to this situation that I'd like to take a moment to examine and realize the bright side.

Cons
-I feel blah
-I probably won't be up to ride (wasn't up to ride to school)
- I am cranky

Pros
-I have very little appetite
- I go to bed early which cuts of my eating time even earlier
- I want to drink a lot of water, which is helpful

I'm hoping to do 12 miles with the hubby tonight, but if I don't start feeling better, I don't think it'll happen. I just wanna curl up in a ball and watch TV.

Didn't ride. Need to go at least 2 tomorrow and I may do 5 more on my bike in 1 mile increments this weekend. I do NOT feel good, but at least I'm not hungry. The only problem is I don't feel up to anything, eating is the least of it. All I want to do is drink ice water.

I was looking at old photos and it made me really upset. I know, it takes time to lose weight and get in shape and I know I haven't been working on my abs nearly as much as I used to, but I am still really bummed. I look at what I used to look like and see myself 10-15 lbs later (which is 20-25 lbs from my start point!) and I'm just disgusted.

Retaining water due to my period and being all bloated isn't helping either. Got a new outfit today to maybe make me feel a little better.

I just want to be skinny. I like how I look at 155-150. It's only 10 lbs. away. I've been at this for a month and lost almost 10 lbs. already. I'd love to be 150 (-15 from now) in a month, but I know that can't happen healthfully by my anniversary. I'm hoping I get there by my birthday in May. I know I am doing better, but I want to be looking sooooo much better.

I'll try my dresses on next week.
