I am so over being sick... it can go away now!
I just finished a second round of antibiotics the other day, because my pneumonia had yet to be gone. I am still getting side effects from the medication though which include dizziness, nausea, headaches... and so on and so forth, I also learned on like my last day of taking the medication that one of the side effects has a warning "Moxifloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel." this is over course absolutely what someone who is recovering from Achilles Tendonitis wants to hear. So now even when I am completely better from the pneumonia I can still have side effects from the medication for a couple of months, and so I STILL can not do my couch to 5k or really anything that may strain my Achilles tendon, because frankly I don't think that tearing my Achilles tendon sound very fun!
Oh and to make things oh so much better... I have my cough coming back, so this may just be a cold (woo... can't you sense my enthusiasm) or it could be the pneumonia making a come back, which is unappreciated, and it can go find some other person's lungs to make home!
Well about 2 weeks ago, I said that I was going to try to do a weigh in once I had the energy to do it... I finally did it just now, and I am at 179lbs, so that is a 6lbs loss YAYY! So I suppose being that sick isnt all bad, but still I dont like it! I am just happy that it isnt my just imagination making me think that I have lost weight!
I have a doctors appointment today, and we will find out if it is just a cold with bad timing or what is going on, and hopefully I can start doing something again soon... I am getting really restless sitting here doing nothing but watching Gordon Ramsay cooking videos online!
Hopefully my next post will not take near as long to make!

one month in, and not much done...
Well I know that I said I would update on the 6th or 7th, after coming home from my trip, and yes I do realize that was just over a week ago.
I had a great time on the trip, and full intentions of starting my couch to 5k when I got home. On Sunday night I felt fine, just had a little bit of a cough which I figured was from the dust being kicked up on the roads we were on.
I woke up Sunday night shivering like I had been thrown in the ice cold river that we we camping by, I had to put on another layer of clothes, and my dad even gave up his blanket for me (I also had my sleeping bag). I was sweating and shivering the whole way home, and was throwing up at one point. When I got home, I felt like crap, barely said hello to Jeff, and went straight to bed, where I fell asleep for about an hour and woke up soaked in sweat, my mom decided that I needed to go to the hospital, where they put me on IV fluids and gave me some Gravol through the IV and ran a load of tests, and treated me for Bronchitis.
The week went by real fast, considering I was throwing up all day the one day, and slept pretty much the rest of the week.
Yesterday (Tuesday), I went for a check up with my doctor, who was shocked that I had not actually been admitted into the hospital when I went in. It turns out that I did in fact have Bronchitis, along with Pneumonia, and Pleurisy. He also gave me a few more days worth of medication!
On another note... It has been just over a month since I started the blog, and I need to weigh in, which I have neglected to do while I have been sick, and I am hoping to have the energy to do it tomorrow.
I have to say, I feel better over all since I started doing the couch to 5k, and I do think that I may have lost a little weight (if not from the couch to 5k, then from being sick)
So to sum up the past month, I have started couch to 5k and went strong at it for about 2 and a half is weeks, watched my calories, gave myself Achilles Tendinitis from lack of stretching during couch to 5k, had to take a break from couch to 5k due to achilles tendinitis, and just as I could start my couch to 5k again, I am now sick with Bronchitis, Pneumonia, and Pleurisy.
Here is hoping that I get better real fast, and can start my couch to 5k over again, and that the next month goes better!!
