2 trips to the hospital, 3 Drs appointments, and countless new perscriptions…
Hey Buddies!! Sorry I seem to not be around as much lately (don’t worry… I haven’t went anywhere!!! and as soon as I get better I plan on kicking some butt at full force!) As some of you guys know, I’ve been really sick. The never ending headache is getting under control (at least I hope….) dr says it’s migraines and I’m on a new med for that. Then about 2 weeks ago I started coming down with something, and I thought it was just a cold (I already had my flu shot for the year) but it just kept getting worse and worse (to the point where I couldn’t breathe… ended up at the hospital twice for that!) and I had bronchitis which has turned into pneumonia (:( enter all the sympathy you want here!) It’s making me miserable, but I’m hoping I’m going to be getting better soon. I’m on all sorts of medications, nebulizer treaments, an inhaler, steriods and antibotics and this super awesome cough syrup that knocks me off my butt (but works amazing!)
Because of all this, my working out/eating has sucked!!! I haven’t done any form of exercise (which to be honest, I’m kinda missing it, although still enjoying the break) and my eating hasn’t been horrible, but I don’t really have much of an appitete at all, even though the dr said the steriods should make me really hungry. I have lost about 2lbs so far, but I’m not sure if I should even count that being sick and all, it’s not like it’s real weight loss so I’m still debating on updating my ticker. At least it’s making it easy for me to say no to all the goodies!!! 
<— trying to look at the postives!
Well there is some good news…. my Dr was very impressed with my weight loss (even the nurse was asking for tips on what I’m doing) which made me feel really great!
I hope all you guys are having an awesome week!!! It’s the last week of the survivor #2, but this Saturday a new one will start (if your intrested check it out!!! http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/fitness-challenge/4385-fitness-survivor-3-a.html It’s a great challange!!! and DEFIENTLY keeps you on your toes and holds you accountable!!! Oh and I’m one of the team leaders so it makes it that much cooler! hahaha LMAO!!!)
Hi there! Sorry to hear you are not feeling well and hope you feel better soon! Best wishes:)
hey you get better right now and then we all expect you full force when you get better!
Oh hun, I know exactly how you feel. When I was a teenager I was sick ALL the time. I had chronic bronchitis, ever time I caught a cold it turned into bronchitis - and I have had pneumonia 4 times in my life. It totally knocks you off your ass. So, I totally feel your pain, and I hope you can recover as soon as possible. The meds do often work quickly, but it is an infection - and you can get it back if you don’t take care of yourself 100%. So, be careful hun! Don’t work yourself TOO hard yet, take the time you need. Do some meditations. Listen to your body, ask it what it needs. Give it what it wants. Love yourself.
We miss you - but am glad to hear you are taking care of yourself. Can’t wait to have you back to your normal happy, healthy, self.
I’m glad you’re back with us, and I hope you’re feeling 100% soon!
hey girlie! I am so glad you are starting to feel better….I hope the new meds work for those headaches!!
I miss you Shawna - we need you to come kick butt in Fitness Survivor!!!
I signed up for Survivor too! I can’t wait.
Wow, so many people are sick right now! I love when people ask me for advice about losing weight. It’s a great feeling, and how impressive that a nurse asked you and your doctor noticed!
Way to go with the weightloss and I hope you feel better Shawna. *hugs*
Hey girlie! I’ve missed you!!! I’m so glad to know that you’re taking care of yourself right now. Rest up and ease back into things … Angel is right - if you try to do too much too soon, you’re only going to end up being worse off. Just start slow. We want you HEALTHY so you can kick butt in FS3!
