Long day in the Tucker house tonight.

Went to work all day, and then I get a call from my wife. She's not feeling well. So, I get home and pull into the driveway, and pick her up and off to the doc's we go. She's got a sore throat and a fever. We get to the doc's and they give her the news: She's got strep throat, and a 102 temperature.

Now, my wife's not one of those people who complain about being sick. She just does things that amaze me. A rocket ship could land on her forehead, and I think that ONLY THEN would she complain about a headache. Now me.. that's a different story.

Stub a toe? Cry like it fell off.

Got a cold? Act like it's the Bubonic Plague.

If I ever got strep, I'd probably act like the hand of God actually came down and punched me in the throat.

She's one tough cat. Me, I'm just a .. well, not a tough cat.

So, I'm thinking the next day or two are going to be dedicated to taking care of her, so that means that my diet is even more important the next few. I may get a good amount of gym time in tomorrow depending on how she feels, but we'll play that by ear.

On the GOOD side of the news, you'll notice that the scale dipped below 320. I can't tell you how happy I am about that. The thing is though, I need to stick to my program, which seems to be working. I've said it before, but I'm going to ride this wave all the way to the shoreline if it'll let me. And if the wave dies out, I'll just go looking for another one.

My goal for the month was to get to 313. That's still a lofty goal, but unlike February, it's completely attainable.
