Chillin ill

Been so sick the past 4 days.

Saturday – had a horrid case of the chills just after 8p and nothing made them go away.

Sunday – throat a little sore and I’m shaking with a fever. No energy at all.

Monday – throat glands are swollen and I figure out I can only sleep sitting upright. Sleep is less frequent and only 20 mins a shot. My fever breaks.

Tuesday – gargling with salt water 3x daily. Hard to swallow solid food without taking 4-6 gulps of water after each bite. Took almost an hour to eat a diced apple. Cranky from lack of sleep.

Wednesday – go to bed at 11p, sleep for 2 hours and get up. Stay up for 3 hours, go to bed and sleep for 5 because my body doesn’t care how painful or smothering it is. I got jolted awake a few times due to lack of air or simple pain.

That was the most sleep I’d gotten in the last 3 days. My body simply didn’t care anymore; it wanted sleep and it would get it. My psoriasis is horrible again. I’m praying this is the last day of this.

The good news is I only had 1 day when I ate more than I exercised. It looks like that’s going to be a pattern and I can accept that. I did the same thing a week ago. I have been doing excellent watching what I eat. Portion sizing is a pain, but learnable. I’ve lost almost an inch from every part of my body! My waist went up half an inch, but the other ones were down. I weighed in this morning at 286#. That’ll go back up to 290# I’m sure. It’s water weight – exactly what it says, the weight of water – and it’s a pain in the ass to think “Oh I’ve done so well” only to find out it gets gained back within hours. >:[
