This is my amaryllis, it started to flower 4 days ago and I had not lost 5 pounds. That was my commitment to do before it flowered when I planted the bulb 10 days ago. I said I wanted to lose 5 pounds before it flowered. I lost 2.5 pounds.. but I am not discouraged.
I've been ill all this week with a very heavy cold. I've had a sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, cough, aches and pains. My cousin reckons it is probably covid, but whether it is or not, I feel awful. I can't remember feeling this ill for years.
My lovely husband had made me tasty meals, all on plan but I haven't been out walking, I felt too ill and tired.
But I do feel enthused to keep trying to lose this weight.
Today although the sun was shining, it was very cold, only 2.4°C.
I have 5 coats all too small, but I had bought a puffa jacket two years ago and I tried that on this morning, albeit without a thick cardigan and I could zip it up which I couldn't last year. So I know it will soon be fitting me with a cardigan, I feel really excited about that.
I hope I'll start to feel better tomorrow.
Isn't this trying to lose weight so hard for some of us?

i certainly hope that you feel better soon. Cold are bad enough but if it's Covid that's worse... just take care of yourself.
I wish you a quick recovery. I am just visiting your blog for the first time, and I enjoy reading it. You have a lovely family, and I like the Bible verse you shared on your blog.

Hi hope you feel well soon I have had flu for over four week now but slowly getting better, I did have covid six months ago and I was not really ill at all. The doctor said there are a lot of viruses going around and that they are difficult to get rid of. I am in South Africa for the European winter, but our weather goes from boiling hot to cool, wouldn’t say cold but I am sitting with a cardigan on today.
Thank you for visiting Small Moments.
It does sound a bit like Covid, maybe do a test? I hope you will feel better soon, but take time to rest and do nothing.
I too hope you feel better soon, your amaryllis is stunning, I do like white blooms, but I have recently planted a fiery red colour.
I hope you feel better soon. There is so much winter illness about and it seems so much worse than in previous years. Take care x
Your amaryllis is a beauty. I always put one on my wish list and always get bought one for Christmas now, this year's is a very dark one, I can't wait for it to bloom. I hope you're feeling a bit better now, there seems to be all sorts of germs going around just now so look after yourself while you're feeling poorly.
Hope you feel better, soon. The flower is beautiful!
Hope you got tested to know what you're dealing with, as treatment really isn't the same thing for Flu, Colds, or Covid. Similar, but not quite the same. Don't blame you for being excited that you've lost some weight even if not the amount you wanted. It's not an overnight process, best of luck to you with your quest. AND your flowers is gorgeous!!
I'm so sorry you have been feeling unwell Chris and hope that you will soon be on the mend. The Amaryllis looks lovely, sadly mine has not produced flowers this year.
Just back from a holiday where there was lots of lovely food and now I really need to try and lose quite a bit of weight- slowly.
Hope you're doing alright. Been awhile since we've heard from you. Hope you're not still under the weather. Waving hi as I make my blog rounds and hope to hear from you soon.
