GI Bug got me to goal...or not?
Friday morning I was about 5 lbs from my initial goal of 145. Later that day I came down with a particularly nasty GI bug. About 24 hrs later I was down to 144. A loss of 6 lbs. Today my weight is about 145. I'm sure my weight will go back up which is why I've not updated my ticker. How long do you think it will take my weight to stabilize? Nice to have a taste of goal..even if it's for a day or two.
