Happy holidays!
I hope you enjoyed your break. I got sick (really sick) the week before Christmas. My second trip to the emergency room they found a kidney infection. It was awful and I was horribly sick (throwing up, diarrhea, high fever, chills) for 7 days. Once I started the antibiotics and other meds, I started feeling better.
I was too sick to even have Christmas until this past Saturday. But despite that, it was a good holiday. A friend was coming down so she wouldn't be alone over the holiday and thank goodness. Tim was working and I was nowhere near well enough to take care of myself. Having someone at the house was such a blessing.
Things with Tim have improved dramatically - the combination of his switching to a lower stress job and me setting healthy boundaries has made a huge difference.
My energy is still pretty low - I'm not exercising yet and I'm still taking a mid afternoon nap, but I am so much better!
I started 2024 at 206.5 - 1.5 heavier than I started the year but 7 pounds less than I was before I got sick. So there's that. As a diet strategy, I cannot recommend it but I'm thankful for the loss. I know that is also helping me feel better.
Here's to a better new year!

My 25 year old daughter was sick the whole of her Xmas visit too. Hers was respiratory virus. She tested negative for flu, strep, Covid. None of the rest of us caught it.
Sorry you were sick, very glad things are going better.

I hope you are feeling much better. Great to hear things with hubby are improving. I realized I need to lose weight. I have gained 10 pounds in the last year. I am really focused on eating less & better choices. I want 2024 to be my year to succeed. Tomorrow I see my endocrinologist. I hope he can change my Rx so it helps my hypothyroidism.
