Feeling lousy

I was actually good over the weekend - stayed on points and managed to get more than 10,000 steps each day.  I managed to survive Saturday by having vegetables cooked in broth for lunch and having a sensible dinner.    I spent all weekend cleaning the upstairs and getting out the fall decorations.  Still need to winterize the outdoors and possibly stain the deck, but it feels like I'm rapidly getting ready for the autumn.  Need to switch out clothes, too - that will mean walking up and down the stairs a lot which will be good for my totals.

So why the "feeling lousy" title?  I have a nasty cold coming on - sore throat, chills, fever, muscle aches.  And a nasty headache.  And my lips feel numb - how weird is that?

Aside from the cold, starting to feel genuinely on track.  The house is "clean", we're eating right, the whole family is getting exercised...it's all good, right?  Now if we can keep our spending under control as the holidays approach, I will feel very good.  Money is always the last thing I seem to get handled.  Oh, well...baby steps, right?
