I've been up since 3 am, can't sleep.

Yesterday I woke up sick and this morning I woke up coughing, when I lay down I cough and feel like crap but when I'm up I hardly cough and I feel better. I'm calling the doctor today, especially since my grandson has pneumonia.

So yesterday was my 44th birthday and I didn't make my goal of being able to do at least one regular push-up but I'm well on my way to my 45th birthday goal of being at normal body weight for my age/height and to be healthy, so who knows maybe next year I'll meet all three.

I mostly stayed in bed resting, I didn't eat a whole lot on the account of the nausea I had until about 2pm then I ate a bowl of cereal and was very bad for dinner... Fried shrimp and French fries from Applebee's but I only had about 230 calories beforehand, so it's ok. I don't eat fried food anymore, that was a birthday treat and I could even finish it so that's a plus too. I had like 4 shrimp and half the fried left. No birthday cake though, tryinbto stay away from sugar too so I made the choice not to have any.

I'm positive my healthy lifestyle and Weightloss is helping me fight this cold or whatever is brewing, normally I would be on my back already. I got sick about 7-8 yrs ago, sinus infection that I battled for 8 months, it turned into phnemonia and mono. My immune system has been compromised ever since and usually if I get a cold I'm in bed for 3 days. This is definitely something stronger brewing, it sleeps in my chest right under the chest plate where the it and collar bone meet, a slight heaviness and crackles when I cough when sleeping. Normally it would take about 3-4 days and I would end up in bed for a week but my body seems to be doing a better job fighting it off.

Well I guess that's all for now I'm going try and at least rest for an hour before having to get up for work.
