Sick for a week, and amazing progress on new years goal

January 7th, 2012 at 02:24 am

I had a miserable, miserable week. We are all sick with this contagious thing, my throat is all burned and ripped, I had fever, congestion, extreme extreme cough, and a bunch of stomach issues.
We are barely surviving it.

The progress? I have made a huge headway in my weight loss goal -- 10lb lost in 6 days. How? By not eating anything due to being nauseous and throwing up. I can eat "safe" foods now (yesterday and today) but I just don't get pleasure from it at the moment. It does not taste the same. Plus, I kind of got used to not eating much and trying to keep it going.

DH and I are exhausted and miserable. (luckily, baby has gotten better).
We can't sleep until 4-5 am every day due to insane coughing that comes on at night, ripping throat and lungs. Than baby gets up 6-7 am and the day begins again.

    Oh, that sounds awful. That's no way to lose 10 pounds! Frown

    I am so sorry. That truly is a miserable sickness to have. The last time I had something like that the thing I found most soothing on both my throat and stomach and that did tempt my tastebuds a little was ordinary vanilla pudding (not chocolate because that could make the stomach hurt). I hope you get better soon.

    Hope you feel better. I had that too when I got sick last year - I would lay down and the change in position means several hours of coughing. If I was more in a sitting position, less coughing.

    We went through something similar right around the holidays, and then when we were finally feeling better the kids got it... and of course, that leads to even LESS sleep. I hope you have some insurance of feeling better really soon!
