Lungs

"If you woke up breathing, congratulations!  You have another chance."

- Andrea Boydston

The sickness is finally coming to an end. While it began in my head it has ended in my chest. I find that I am still coughing a lot and now even walking from my car into work makes it hard.  My lungs feel as though they weigh 50 pounds and I often catch myself gasping to get more air in. Needless to say with how I'm feeling I haven't been to the gym. If walking makes me winded I could not even begin to think what it would have been like to try to do the elliptical or treadmill. 

Not being able to workout and the hunger that came on while being sick really freaks me the hell out when I think about getting weighed on Saturday at 12. We shall see I guess. You're not sick every week so I need to let it go, breathe deep and move on. Once this cold gets finished with me life will go back to normal.

I've heard that perhaps for the next month I will be continuing to build ads which means that I will be on the day shift so I will have to really get used to the working out at night and dealing with that. I'm alright with seeing the sunshine after work.

Tomorrow I am heading to get the blood tests that Dave wanted done to check my thyroid. Now that I'm almost 70 pounds lighter my situation on that front may have changed. Better to have it looked at so my energy level may change with out or with different levels.

Bubbles and hiccups,

Gillian
