Being Me Now

So it is day 16 of Pneumonia.

New heavy duty antibiotics playing havoc with my intestines, don't need to cleanse.

Down to 275lbs.  When I weighed myself on August 18th after coming back from vacation I was 286 lbs (I had gained 5 lbs on my vacation before I went on vacation on August 1st I was 281 lbs).

Down 11 lbs without even trying.

Okay, so the Pneumonia has given me a good kick start, but I'd rather slow this down now and feel better.

I am eating yogurt, banana's, juice, protein powder, apples, managed to get some pizza cheese sticks into me (soft and cheesy, easy to chew).

Now I'm not the most active person in the world these days, but 16 days of either sitting completely still (if I move I cough) or at night propped up by 7 pillows and two comforters so I don't lie down to sleep (or I cough), I am feeling fed up with not moving.

I look outside and see a nice Fall day, good walking weather, no bugs.  I walked to the bathroom (probably about 15-20 paces) and I was doubled over coughing.

So today I am day dreaming about exercise and getting that into my routine again.  Of course I am enthused, and day dreaming is frustrating when I am in the mood to just "Do it".
