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.
