Cold or Allergies?

I've been under the weather this week. At first I thought it was allergies, but now I'm starting to think it's a cold.  Not too bad but I do seem to be dragging my butt more than usual.  No workouts yet this week and I've been in bed by 8pm each night. 

Today, I am feeling more energy so far, but not going to push it by doing a workout. If I feel even better tomorrow, I'll get one in. 

It's my birthday on Friday (53!!!) Ugh. Where has the time gone?  Dare I say, I feel 42? I mean, I do.  I hope that I can feel 53 when I'm 65! 

Recently took up pickleball. All the friends seem to be doing it, so thought, what the hell!?  I've been avoiding it because I never enjoyed playing tennis, but I have to admit, pickleball is fun.  Need to try and get out a bit more often to practice. 

A couple small trips planned this summer. We are going to the okanagan for our annual bike trip with friends. Have rented an airbnb on the beach so it should be a nice break. And then we are flying to Quebec in July with some other friends. Spending a week touring through Quebec City and then Montreal for a few days. Looking forward to it! 

So, I have a vacation goal. I would like to get down to 175 by my Quebec trip. I'd actually be happy anywhere in the 170s but mid mark would be great. 

This sickness that I'm experiencing right now has set my hunger on the back burner. I'm just not hungry so I'm going to take advantage of that and hopefully kick start me into eating more controlled meals and not snacking all the time, as I know it's the snacking that really kills me! 

Just over 2 months to lose 14 lbs. Doable.... but going to be a challenge for sure.
