Weight Loss


I've been wondering lately, what is the best way to lose weight??? we're trying to get pregnant and maybe by losing some weight that will help. Well I'll tell ya, just get yourself infected with Influenza A and B and then get Pneumonia on top of that. It helps lower your appetite, and your ability to want to live!! along with the vomiting and diarrhea, what more could you ask for?? ha ha ha.......so I'm going on three weeks of feeling like death is knocking at my door. However I no longer have a fever, body aches, extreme body chills, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (that was just the first two weeks). Now my only problem is the fact that I cannot breath unless I am hooked up to oxygen!! Hey I quit smoking, what in the world is going on? and I quit while I was in my early 30's that is when you should quit so that you don't have lasting long term effects, right? oh well such is life, what are you going to do. The sliver lining to all of this is, that I have lost 6 pounds!!! woohoo!!! and I've read a couple books, watched all the Oprah I can handle, getting myself back up to date with Days of our Lives, which I have not watched since I was in high school! still the same drama and same people!! and my dogs don't have to go out in the kennel, they get to snuggle with me on the couch!! which I'll tell you what, when they want to snuggle right on top of me, it makes it even more difficult to breath!!! I gotta love them. Especially Belle our Jack Russell, she comes running to me in the middle of the night when I have a coughing fit, and snuggles with me. And then of course when she needs to go outside at 2am she thinks she needs to wake me up, instead of AJ, why? I don't know, she's just my girl.

So when I'm finally able to make it back to work, don't be surprised if you see me wearing a mask, and big latex gloves....I swear I will do what I need to do to keep myself germ free, maybe I'll become a germaphobe :)
