Slept like 9 hours and feel good. Had breakfast and sitting on couch reading a magazine right now. After that, plans to shower & go out for a walk with Ricky.m

Cannot wait to get back to gym, but not if it's gonna get me very sick again...then i just have to wait...i'm pretty much prob not exercising this week...not back to 100% yet.
Also, i am nervous to even be able to balance gym and work this winter bc i have the class too.
Gym needs to be dialed back a bit in terms of how much i do there and how long i stay there. I hope to actually cut out like 30-60 minutes so i'm only there one hour and not longer anymore. Planning to cut out any duplicate types of weights exercises where i use one machine to work a muscle group and later use another machine for the same muscles. Will try to cut back. Maybe i'll even retain all strength - we'll see...
either way, gotta dial down to stay healthy.
I still in the back of my mind think Court Officer is more a "basic" job that may be better for me than this estimating one, despite a huge salary cut for the first like 5 years. 5 years isn't that much...i need peace of mind. but for now, i gotta forget court officer job, because there's no current test for it and not an option right now of for next few.
1220 before dinner....
Went to work was much better feeling - other people were out sick last week and one remained out sick today - seems we all have something similar. I'll be skipping gym until I am very close to 100% without a cough.

I hope that someone will take care of Hammy while you're gone. Probably just as well, as you don't want to get him sick as well.

//////
Thank you for all the very kind comments - will reply individually to all of you later on :)
Dad picked up like a thousand ready made food products along with some things I can cook and prepare myself - so I'm set to stay home for a few days
Just resting and sleeping lots right now - very low energy.
I know I'll be fine :) just I guess I was pushing myself too much - the gym i guess next time when I have a cough I'll stay out of the gym till I'm all better completely - but I am surstill this had to do with the change of commute and walking in the freezing cold air breathing it in first thing in the morning for at least 10 min everyday- looking forward to getting fully better ....and I guess taking it easy this winter unless I want to be getting bronchitis a second time ... ah well.
It's good I have nobody to look after here at home bc all I am doing is eating and sleeping ....
Gym routine is gonna have to be adjusted this winter bc for some reason it's become too much with my new commute.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
I had to stay at the hospital EMER room which takes a long time for doctors / nurses to see patients. So, it took like 6 hours. I was literally laying on a cot for like 4.5 hours and when i did have to leave i got dizzy for a brief second again...but i sat down and it passed...
i was diagnosed in the end with Bronchitis, which is like a virus, i am not taking any antibiotics but a mix of something with robitussen. I'm def staying home from work tomorrow as i have little energy...and i will lay low all weekend until i feel better...i have dr appts on Monday....for dermatologist for a thing for my sweating a lot on underarms, i have a dentist appt, and one more. hopefully i'll feel a bit better by Monday.
Def low energy over here and need to stay home and sleep / relax.
I got very run down which is why i eventually got bronchitis.
_____________________________________________________
Fainted at dr so there's a manatory trip to hospital taken by ambulance dad came by and mom is with Me which was so nice of her.....
Been at hospital taking all tests including urine, X-ray and blood work. Been here so far just under SIX Hours... ---------
Middle of night: banana to calm stomach - need to purchase bananas today 120 Am: kombucha while cleaning hamster cage bc I had put that off since Monday no worries it's fine and works to do it every 1.5 weeks instead of every week so I'll keep this schedule of cleaning. 70 THE KOMBUCHA MAY HAVE AFFECTED HOW HYDRATED I WAS, MAKING ME LESS HYDRATED..

___________________________________________________
good just relaxing today - possible trip to supermarket and then drug store if I need an rX after dr Appt .... I def feel under the weather and dizzy just a hair with body pain and cough that got a little bit worse Home sick will go to dr Last night I went to bed with chills around 8:30 and then at 10:39 I work up nauseous and a bit dizzy with bad gas .threw up mostly bile and had a rough night overall. Didn't have the energy this morning to get up and get ready for work or walk the half mile to the bus so I called in sick - dr Appt soon at 10:30am in a half hour.
OK OK I just can't stop myself here. Long ago, when I did make it to the gym, a few days after I would get a sore throat. I would chalk that up to other people's funk at the gym. So I would wait a few days to go back. Again, same thing, until eventually, I guess my body got used to being around other people's funk.
Now, I forever use hand sanitizer and lysol. I'm a germaphobe. I do this even at work and at home especially after DH prepares chicken. Just gross.
Get well soon!
Thanks for kind words - I was pushing myself before the cold went away and this is what I get !
I may have to change gym routine bc my new commute and lots of walking etc is draining and gym seems way too much on top of that.
def need to get better before anything else enters the picture.
meant to save my days for March - gonna be a difficult Winter because of unexpected sickness...hopefully after riding public transport for awhile, my body will get used to a more challenging commute than sitting in my car (steps, standing, walking half mile each way lately in freezing cold), and all the germs...hopefully i will get thru this - which i should :)
gym routine will need to change. it's too long and physically demanding overall.
going to need first off to get better...because in under two weeks i start that class i was speaking about each week 5-7pm...just draining after working 7:30-4...but i'll make it work. just can't think about it any more now.
they did many tests including urine, blood work, xray...ekg...but those were ok. in the end, it was a diagnosis of bronchitis, wich is definitely not to be taken lightly and i'm glad it was diagnosed before getting even worse like pneumonia.
I hope you get to feeling better soon--don't push yourself on Monday if you're not quite up to it. Take care H_o_P girlie!
All I'm doing is sleeping and eating bc feeling extremely tired especially after I eat I go back to bed it seems today.
I'm craving oranges and luckily I had bought clemtines and my dad gave me a large amount of navel oranges also so I am set.
Drinking herbal teas.
Was supposed to go to dentist Monday but will cancel that and also had two more appointments Bc we have that day off in observance of Martin Luther King day - will try to go to the appointments that are early in day and maybe skip dentist since it may not be great to lay back with mouth open for 30 min straight to have my teeth worked on - may try to stay off work some of next week if I need to - too bad I'm using the days I meant to save to use in March for gym - gym is taking a horrible nosedive ah well.
Thank you for the tips I have a really old Gatorade like years maybe not the best to drink that ! It's been in my fridge for years!
Can't wait for aches and pains to pass and energy to come back - ty again for writing to me !
Not sure why I threw up the night before maybe my body was just totally beat in general!
THANK you for all the great advice :-)

Be careful with the fiber -- I got to the point where I was eating so much fiber that my body was having a LOT of trouble moving things along. See if the change works, though, first. Maybe you need a softener... or just more water?
I wanted to comment on your entry from a few days ago, about focusing on your current career and not getting too ahead of yourself with the court officer ambition, but Bear beat me to it.
Yes I'll try to focus on current career - which is for me very difficult to focus on.... and try to keep improving on exercise which for winter really means trying to get back on an exercise schedule )

I finally tried flavored seltzer and stevia.... omg you are right it is delicious!!!!
Maybe a big cup of coffee will move things along? Sounds like early onset IBS?
I drank kombucha so all was good today - it's just nerves at work and if I'm busy after work ....never a good balance and with new job it's been worse. Thankfully when the weekend comes I poop easily and often.
Actually I had kombucha which gave me diarrhea today sorry tmi but I felt so good with everything out.
happy-1 on 01/22/2018:
Feel better.
