Day 277

So today I went to the doctor for the first time in five or six years.  I went to work and they sent me home as I guess I looked rather sickly.  I know I was sweating pretty fiercely, so I'm guessing I must have had a fever.  I was also getting an ear infection.  I could tell it was going to be a doozy.  The doctor gave me a prescription for some penicillin and that's a first for me.  Or at least not something I've taken in 40 -50 years. So here I am again home from work.  I am passing on going to the gym again also.  So since tomorrow is Friday I will have had three days off from the gym this week.  Crazy.  So I'm trying to eat and take the pills on a schedule that works with my work schedule.  We'll see how that goes.

Today I ate my normal breakfast: Egg and turkey sandwich on a skinny bun with tomato and guacamole.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

After that it was a crap shoot.  I had an early lunch (due to wanting to start the pill regime) with a bowl of chili and a half a cup of cottage cheese.

I then had some pistachios along with some carrot chips and hummus.

Then in the late afternoon I had the rest of the chili and cottage cheese.

Then for dinner I had two chicken thighs with yam and beet that were baked in the oven.  I complimented that with some mini peppers and hummus.

So overall not bad on the food day.  Oh I was able to get in the weigh in for the weight loss contest I'm participating in.  The scale came in at 235.8lbs without shoes.  At the doctors office I weighed with shoes 237.5lbs.  So it's nice to know that my weight is really what my scale tells me. 

Feeling fairly well as I type this so I'm expecting to go to work in the morning.  I am working the late shift so I have a bit of time to decide in the morning.  My boss told me not to come in unless I really feel well.  I expect though that I will go in.
