Comparison

I took photos today of my dog and I for our annual Christmas photos... and I decided to do a little comparison to last year.

To date, I have lost 27 pounds this year... Some days I can see and feel the difference, others I can't.... Looking at the comparison from last year to today is so crazy. Yeah I still have a ways to go, but wow... it feels great to know that my progress really is visible... even if it's a little here and there.

Sick

I'm sick of being sick.

I've basically been sick since November 20th. Today is December 9th.

I have gone through 15 days total of 2 diff kinds of antibiotics, 2 bottles of robitussin DM, a few doses of Delsym, A box of sudafed, a box of mucinex dm, a maintenance inhaler, a rescue inhaler, my daily clarinex, about 10 doses of my breathing treatment/nebulizer, prescription tussinex, and prescription robitussin w/ codine.

....and I'm still coughing.

The doc is treating me for whooping cough now. They haven't said I for sure have it, but have said that most of my symptoms are the equivalent. Either way, it sounds like I have about 6 weeks of a terrible cough ahead of me.

I am feeling a little more human today, which is good. My energy is slowly getting better too.

I haven't been to weight watchers since I've been sick.... and am thinking about going today, but I'm not sure. My scale at home says I have been at about the same weight the past few weeks, I'm just not sure if i'm up for it yet.

Anyway - just thought I would update.

On a good note, I have lots of healthy food in my fridge and am eating some great things. Even when I haven't been hardcore losing, I haven't gained... so there's that, at least.
