It’s almost funny to me how much I miss being on plan and exercising!  I had a reaction to one of the medications that they gave me.  It was not pleasant and I’m hoping that it doesn’t wind up making things worse.  I finished my antibiotics and I’ve pretty much got nothing on the agenda except resting this weekend so I can get well!  It’s been rough, but I definitely know it’s better to be able to eat than to have it turn your stomach when you even think about food!  The nausea set in about Wednesday…I called the doc in the box on Thursday morning because I realized that I was having a bad reaction to the DuraMax.  They called me in on something else…it seems to be working better than the DuraMax.  I hope everyone is hanging in there!

I finally gave in and went to the doctor on Monday.  Not that I really had the money, but I had to go.  I have a sinus infection and bronchitis.  I have been on antibiotics since Monday, but I think I let it go too long and it’s taking a little longer than it would otherwise to start feeling better!  I slept, literally, for 10 hours last night.  I seem to go from hungry to nauseous in record time, but I’ll manage, I’m sure.  I was up .6 last night at weigh in, but giving the fact that I haven’t eaten to speak of for the last several days and I had a half gallon of orange juice on Monday, I’m not gonna complain.  My first concern right now…is getting well.  Then, I’ll get back on the weight loss horse and ride!  Just not fully an option until I get well!

Well, it’s been an interesting week!  I wound up sick and in bed all weekend.  Running a fever, body aches, headache…it was not pleasant nor fun!  I did finally make it to my first WI since Oct. 2nd…I managed to maintain since my last weigh in and weighed exactly the same thing.  It’s a new month…and I’m bound and determined to get back in that good place I was before the illnesses started kicking in for me…fighting with allergies, then UTI, then whatever this last mess is!  I’m ready to be well…no more sickness!

My team, the one that Stacey and I started several months ago, has gone by the wayside.  Although we had several that truly cared about their team and how their support for their team affected the rest of the team, there were many that didn’t even show up to weigh in without a reminder.  It’s frustrating and, yes, it hurts.  But honestly, we saw it coming.  I’m stubborn and I don’t like to give up on things…but let’s be honest…there comes a time that you just get tired of trying and feeling like you have failed time and time again.  I think I may just take a few steps back…try to make sure that I get back on track.  I may do a support thing on the forum or something, but at this point, I’m undecided.  I have a lot of decisions to make.  I’ll still be around…and you can always shoot me emails here and at my personal email…I enjoy helping others and supporting and helping others helps motivate me.

Time to get up and get moving and start the day!  Have a great day!  Take care and God bless!
