I ended the first week with a setback. Woke up feeling great, took the kid to swim lessons and out for breakfast - treated myself to pancakes. Went to Karma to get my before pictures taken, remembering to really exhale, letting all that flab show, then I got home and hit the wall.
I started to feel achy and hot; an hour later I was running a low-grade fever of 99.9. I ended up in bed the rest of the day, barely eating, barely functioning. I don't know what it was - is it possible I worked out too hard on Saturday? Did I pick up a bug at work? I don't know. I really tried sticking to the meal plan but I didn't have an appetite, so I just tried to force down whatever food I could.
Fortunately, my husband was super mom, picked up all the slack, made sure the kid's nose was clean. I slept most of the day. I woke up today feeling better, a touch of a headache but no fever. Either way, I think I'll take the day off work. I don't want to run myself ragged.
On to week 2...
