Weight loss!

So, I am continuing to loose weight despite the fact that working out has become difficult because of the pleurisy. I was truly hoping to start up again tomorrow, but I don't really see that happening. I hate that my weight loss is being hindered by not being able to work out, but I am grateful for the fact that with me watching what I am eating, I am continuing to loose weight! I am down 9 lbs since I started this journey publicly. I really was hoping to be further along by now, but I'm just glad I have made it this far!

Attempt to Walk

So, I attempted to go for a walk with 2 of my good friends Friday Night. IT HURT SO BAD!!!!!!!! This Pleurisy is really hindering my workout efforts more than I originally thought it would. It's even hard for me to stand and cut hair all day sometimes if I am not keeping up with taking something for it. I don't know what to do, because I don't want all of my efforts to be wasted after months and months of work, and only 7 lbs to show for it right now. I don't want to be back at square one. I'm still trying to be dilligent about what foods I am eating, and limiting my calorie and fat intake, but I hope it's enough.

Pleurisy

Pleurisy is inflammation of the lining of the lungs and chest (the pleura) that leads to chest pain (usually sharp) when you take a breath or cough.

This has been going on for about 5 days for me. I went to the doctor yesterday to see what was going on. Sunday night was the worst of it. Basically all I can do is wait it out, so as soon as I can breathe normally, I will be back with my workout routine!

Well, I'm back in the loosing streak, I just hope this doesn't de-rail it!

I'm just letting you all know that I'm alive and working on getting healthy still. I have been crazy busy, but I'm getting better about prioritizing my healthy lifestyle!
