Not the best way to lose weight

So, most people would love to lose 4-5 pounds pretty quickly and not have to work hard for it - however, there is one way that I do NOT recommend - getting a stomach bug. Yes, the extra weight I couldn't seem to shirk after weaning my son is now gone, but the process of losing it wasn't worth it!

Mind you, this stomach bug has been going around for weeks...I think I even had a mild version about 4 weeks ago, but it didn't really put me down. Those around us got it, some even got it twice. We were feeling lucky...then 4:00 a.m. Wednesday morning arrived and I quickly began to feel like I was on my death bed. This is where it is a HUGE benefit my parents live in town - Mother rescued me from motherhood for the day so I could tend to myself and hopefully not expose the boy any more than I already had. The hubby took care of everything that night - including packing for a trip we were all supposed to take this weekend for a special wedding. Needless to say, the boy and I are home... I am a few pounds lighter and I am nursing the boy back to normal food after he threw up for the first time in his life yesterday (in the car none the less!).

For those we missed seeing this weekend, I am so sorry we weren't there. Trust me, I would much rather have taken the long trip than experienced this. Know that I love you, and I can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories.

You poor thing!!! I am so sorry Jonathan got it...that is the worst thing! I don't recommend the gallbladder weight loss system either, but 25 pounds later I have a good head start on my weight loss. Sad, isn't it?
