Monday
I "called in scared" to work today... "Hello Boss? This is Jamey. I'm afraid...I won't be into work today..."
I do have a reason for staying home - I've actually got a nasty cold. My cold started last Thursday but I started to feel so much better yesterday afternoon that I went outside and spent a couple hours taking down Christmas lights/decorations and raking leaves. [Its that damn Puritan Work Ethic that doesn't allow me to just sit and relax.] That was a mistake - which I realized that this morning when I woke-up with a fever and sore throat.
I am feeling much better now though... I'm thinking about going outside and trimming the bushes.

I saw my doctor on Friday for a routine follow-up and mentioned to her that nyssimi and I had started on the South Beach Diet on Jan. 2. She thought it was a great idea, and said that she had lost 20 pounds the on South Beach Diet.
This morning she called with the results of my blood tests and asked how the diet was going. I told her that in the one week I've been on it I've lost 10 pounds. "GET OUT!" she screamed. "NO WAY!" I told her that I had just weighed myself this morning and yes, I had lost 10 pounds in the first week.
"That's soooo kool!" was her educated medical opinion. :)
