Well I have my ups and my downs, but I think that this is what it is all about. Actually if you think about it that is the way life is. Nothing ever stays the same and it is true with losing weight.What can I say? Did I have a good week or a bad week? Do I base what kind of week I will have on how I do at the scales? Okay, yeah, I kinda do, but this past week was different. I did well at the scales this week. 4 3/4 pounds off this week. That is good. I had my first program as leader for TOPS this week, that is good. It was an Easter based program and I thought it was cute and interesting. Go check out the 8 worst Easter candy for you to eat in a Newsweek article. I found that to be very interesting since I love, love, love peeps but found that they are not that good for you; however they are the best in the list that is given.
All in all it should have been a good week, but I am sick which seems to be at this time a recurring theme in my life. So, being sick makes it a bad week for me. I have not been able to exercise as much as I would have liked-- that's bad. I have found that a part of being successful in weight loss one should have activities to fall back on and people they can turn to or hangout with. I haven't been able to do anything except work and then I am home, exhausted. That is bad. I actually had to ask my son to spend time with me because I just didn't feel well enough to be home alone. With my son being a typical driving teenager you can only imagine what a hardship that was for him, so that was bad.
Where am I going with all this? I guess what I am trying to get at is that it was neither a great or bad week but I lost weight. I attribute part of this to being sick, I wish I could get to the point that I can stay completely on program without all the struggles, the temptations. But if I could do that then I probably wouldn't be overweight in the first place.
So, until next week I hope to gain nothing but knowledge and LOSE nothing but weight.

Your overall healthfulness is going to DEPEND on you getting the weight off. You can't fight infection, inflammation, etc as well when you are overweight. Your overall health will not improve until you set your mind to it and get to a 'healthy' weight.
I agree -- I think the more exercise you get in and the more water you drink, the more you will feel less prone to illness as a whole -- not to mention the weight loss benefits. Now that the weather is getting warmer, some walks outside could be nice -- sun and fresh air are also good for body and soul!
