A new weigh day begins

A new weigh day begins and I can kind of understand the issues the doctors had when they found the pneumonia with me dropping almost two pounds in a day but I am still agitated they admitted me into the hospital for no clear reason. I know I have been sick and being ill will change your weight. I tested my theory and checked my weight last week only to see the same thing they had.

On the 31st I was weighed by the first doctor, on the 1st they had checked and I came in at almost two pounds less, then a week later I checked myself and saw similar little numbers which seemed to correlate with what the doctor’s found. That is what I kept telling myself while I had to wait for today to be off of the medicine they tossed at me and have had a week to work on getting those numbers back up but I guess better luck next time comes around today since I weigh the same as last week.

Using the Hamwi Formula I am far off, even before I got sick which is very odd. Most places online as well as doctor’s I have spoken with said that my target weight (which I hit a while before getting sick) was within a 5lb. shift of where I could be and a couple of places said within 10lbs. I found a rather old entry called Just What IS an Average Woman’s Size Anymore? and the write-up is still nice even if out dated. I like the reference to the older days and how things have changed. I can honestly say I have been a size zero (1 and 2) before and those were not fun days, my plan has never been to get that tiny again.

Obviously I understand that now I am underweight, and my recent BMI results show this. I am going to need to bulk up a little, I guess it is a good thing that I am not allowed to exercise & exert myself during Turkey Month.

Once December rolls around I will be quite happy to get back into my normal routines, I really think it is starting to throw me off my game for everything. I like my schedules, I like planning ahead and being ready. When my day goes (mostly) according to plan I always have great days, in the past few weeks other than being completely miserable from being sick I have been a little grumpy. Much more than my normal sarcastic self.

It seems to come and go and I will chalk it up to just recovering, nothing more. I know I joke about being mean from being part German but this has nothing to do with it, I am just out of sync and it is slowly driving me nutty. So now I ask everyone to please bare with me or strap on your belts for a fun ride until this madness is over.
