wilderness,

I hope you start feeling better soon! and are being sent your way.

Thank you for your support in my journal. It feels wonderful having so many people us on to financial victory!

Have a good evening at work and please take it easy if you can.

Still feeling under the weather , so much so I forgot I was working 10 hours straight! Oh well it is over and I am on my way to bed. I will be back later.

 

[sarahsmom73]

Feel better soon! It's no fun having you under the weather!

 

[wilderness01]

I still feel sick. No workout for me yesterday or today. Eating way off plan and just trying to get through the day. Sorry no journals either. Thinking of everyone and hoping they are doing well.

 

[toystoryduo]

Hang in there wilderness! I hope you feel better soon. Take good care of you!

Wilderness,

I'm sorry I've been MIA. I hope you are getting a ton of rest tonight, and that you feel better in the morning. Keep taking it easy, and don't worry about the diet. It will still be there when you are better.

Take care,
Beth

Hi. I did go to the gym yesterday and did close to 5 miles on the glider. I didn't burn up as many calories as I probably should have because I still feel sick and really gave it a half _ _ _ ed attempt. Today my throat still hurts and I am miserable with a cold. I have been up for hours and it is still very early here. I just can't breath now and my throat stings so bad. Sorry for the big whine..... I have been eating totally off program and just getting through the day. Oddly enough water really burns going down my throat so I have not been drinking as much as I should......Sorry I haven't been around at all. I am thinking about everyone and wishing everyone a nice weekend.

Wilderness,

Is the "I can't breathe" because of congestion ot because your asthma has been aggravated by this cold? Take extra good care of yourself this weekend. Don't exercise, we both know it will just lengthen the cold. Don't worry about the food. You need carbs and calories to fight this thing off.

If you can't drink water, how about popsicles? Green tean with honey or splenda, chicken soup, sf jello, milk. I know you probably have some congestion so the milk isn't a great idea, but a small gless might coat your thraot enough for you to eat. Another idea is to have a cough drop just before eating/drinking. it changes the way things taste, but your throat might be numb enough to eat.

Take care,
Beth

Dear Wilderness, please listen to Beth - she has some great ideas! If your throat stings that badly, are you sure you don't have strep??? Please eat what you can and rest - no exercise! Your body needs all its energy to fight this bug.

Please take good care of you - you are worth it!!

Thanks Beth and Doe,

The asthma is fine so far, it is just this blasted cold with congestion. I actually feel a little better since I am upright.....it is just this darn throat right now and my head is throbbing. I have a halls in my mouth as we speak. Thanks for the suggestions, they are all really good. I am just so mad that within the last week I am up 4 pounds. I am hoping it is bloat since I haven't been able to drink that much. I feel so swollen and my rings are tight. With not feeling well and that blasted scale my mood feels rather low at the moment. I hope my posts in others journals don't reflect that! Why can one little machine make such a difference in my life? I hate that scale. (insert scale here) I am making a big pot of chicken soup for lunch/dinner so that can slip down without much effort. I have never had water burn my throat before. Weird. I am going to take it easy today/tonight and hope for the best the rest of the weekend. As long as no one else gets this we should be in good shape. Thanks again.

Doe,

Surprisingly enough I really do not know what strep feels like. My stomach does kind of hurt though and I know those two things go hand in hand. I will have to go look in my mouth for white patches.....yuck!

 

[toystoryduo]

Oh wilderness,

I'm sorry that you are still feeling sick. I think Beth has some great suggestions to try out! I hope you feel better soon.

Please don't worry about the scale right now. I know that once you are feeling better, eating OP and exercise will fall right into place and your scale will cooperate with you.

Take good care of you!

doe--hope you are resting and feeling better--have a great weekend

 

[sarahsmom73]

Have you ever tried taking mucinex? It is OTC and our Doctors told us about it last winter... It really helps loosen up and get rid of that congestion!

I hope you feel better soon!

 

[wilderness01]

Feeling the same today so I will rest again. My throat is on fire so I am eating some warm things to soothe it. If I still feel like this on Monday I will go to the doctor. I am pale and my eyes tell the whole story.....sick. We have an easy day planned and then tonight I have committed to going up and helping at our kid's school. I can't break this committment no matter what so I just have to go suck it up so to speak!

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

o i hope you feel better..
i know what you mean about your throat--mine has been terrible for weeks and none of the meds are working! hope your doctor can give you something to help

Hi Wilderness - Sorry I've been MIA for so long. I'm sorry your not feeling well. DD is just getting over a bout with strep/cold and missed 3 days of school last week. Her throat really hurt too, so be careful that it's not strep. Give the gym up for a few days and try and get over this. It'll linger longer if you don't. I always liked Lemon Lift tea when I was sick...

Hope you feel better soon

 

[sarahsmom73]

Oh Wilderness!!! I amso sorry you are still sick! This winter has been a bad one for this! I really hope you are feeling better, but if not, I think you made the right decision to go to the doctor... Get lots of rest if you can today!

 

[toystoryduo]

wilderness,

I am so sorry to hear that you still aren't feeling well. I am sending over a few fat-free, low carb to help with your sore throat.

Please take it easy, drink plenty of fluids, and get lots of rest.
