Wednesday Weigh in November 19

Zip, zilch, nada, nothing. No weight lost this week again..... but I did get an exercise ball to bounce on while I watch t.v. or have some time to just bounce. I even bounced while blogging/facebooking. It makes it hard to type though.

I found out one reason for my low motivation and extra eating. For the last 4 weeks, I've been having problems breathing deeply. It would hurt in my chest when I did. But I didn't have any wheezing or anything. I thought it would just go away, but it didn't.

On Monday I went in to see the doctor and he immediatly told me to go to the hospital to have a CT scan done based on my symptoms. He thought I could have a clot in my lung. I thought it was kind of silly since I didn't feel that bad. After the test I found out I had an infection in the lining of my left lung. It's called pleurisy. My bloodwork said I had an elevated white-blood cell count and so I had to begin antibiotics. Luckily, the infection is not contageous. It probably has zapped my energy without me even realizing it.

Since my family was here, I thought I was tired because of being so busy. Good thing I got it checked out instead of just putting it off longer. By the way, I had actually gained 4 pounds over the past few weeks and so now I am going to work on getting those off before I can focus on losing any additional. Gotta get back to bouncing on my ball!
