Shhhhh….wait…what’s that sound? Why, that is the miraculous sound of blissful silence, since my cough has finally slowed down enough for me to hesitantly re-join the land of the living! I can mostly breathe again too. Three weeks of a wracking cough and stuffy nose have been more than enough joy for me, so I will gladly see this crud slowly ease its way out of my poor body.
After a round of antibiotics and a grisly, harrowing experience offering up my vein for the blood draw, hopefully my doctor and I will figure out just why in the hell it takes so long for my body to fight off the slightest illness. My fiance jokes that if he gets a cold, I will catch Ebola from him. That is not even much of an exaggeration!
So now that I can breathe and am not falling over delirious from coughing, you might think that I have a sweaty, heart-thumping workout planned for this evening. Well, you would think wrong! Priorities, people. I have a good inch and a half of root showing in my hair, and I have an appointment after work to get those touched up. And I think we all know that right after strolling out of a salon and having my hair washed, fussed with, brushed, dried, and styled, I will NOT be hitting the gym to mess it all up.
Being sick really threw me for a loop. I skipped weigh-in last week because I couldn’t face it, and I have not been doing very well with eating this week either. So Saturday’s weigh-in will be another gain, and I fear a rather large one.
We are nearing the end of September, and creeping closer to the end of this year. It got me thinking: clearly I need something else, something new, something different to get back on track and stay there. Doing it on my own, even with a blog and a site like MyFitnessPal, just isn’t cutting it for me. I am considering trying a few months of Weight Watchers to see if that helps me get better results. Hell, any results right now would be an improvement!
Any opinions or feedback on Weight Watchers?
