Well, I felt so awful this morning that I didn`t even go to work. I woke up early and instantly started coughing. I went out on the couch so I wouldn`t disturb Hubby, but after an hour of coughing, even honey didn`t help, I gave up. It tired me out so much. My doc. appt. was at 10:30a.m. and I did get right in, but after the nurse took my blood pressure and some info, I sat there shivering for 35 minutes. He said I have bronchitis (again) So I got some anitbiotics, only 3 pills, one for each day.It`s zithromax. We came home, Hubby made lunch and I put my jammies on, and I am going to relax and maybe try to sleep a little.
The doc also said I have a skip in my heartbeat. Three years ago when I had bronchitis I got an extra heartbeat from it. I think maybe being sick is just affecting me that way, and I should be okay. I also need to lose some weight. That really gets me because when I was little they tried to get me to gain weight. I had to drink half and half instead of milk, and eat, both of which I hated. Now, I am sitting here trying to figure out what I am going to do. Where do I cut back? I really don`t eat that much anyway, I don`t think. I do like my treats, and sweets, I see that as a place to start. But, can I cut them out or cut them down? What am I going to do? What are some good snacky things that are good for work? I don`t like things that are hard to bite and chew at work because I`m afraid I will crack a partial denture that I have. HELP!!! If I get too hubgry, I start to shake and get sick, otherwise I`d just stop eating at noon, which is when we have our main meal, even at work, I will pack a supper-type meal so I won`t eat a lot later.
I haven`t exercised lately, since before the shingles, I just don`t feel good enough to yet.
I am going to try to go to work tomorrow,because it`s the first of our parties and I don`t want to miss it. First problem.....there will be sooooo many goodies for the rest of the week. Do I eat some and just say the heck with it? Maybe in moderation and get serious at the beginning of the New Year. I really need motivation and some good advice. That`s where the doc doesn`t help. I need to lose 25 pounds.
