I hate being sick! It started a couple weeks ago with a sore throat in the morning. I figured it was just the fluctuating weather patterns and all the traveling I’d done over the holidays. Then it moved from my throat to my nose. It became the nasty kind of nose cold where you have to breathe through your mouth in order to get air. It’s now in its final stage (at least I’m hoping this is the final stage) and has moved into a post nasal drip sort of cold. The kind of post nasal drip where you breathe through your mouth and you can actually hear the mucus rattling around in the back of your throat. It’s the kind of cold that causes other people to step back when you start to cough and as bad and it is I’m sure it sounds 10 times worse. I’ve been taking mucinex and decongestants but that seems to make me want to cough like crazy, which is only straining and hurting my throat more. Sometimes I feel like I can talk normally and other times I want to whisper to avoid losing my voice.
Needless to say, I haven’t gone to the gym since before the holidays because of this cold, so my diet doesn’t seem to be going very well. On the other hand, I haven’t been eating as much because I don’t feel well and maybe, if anything, this cold can help me drop a couple pounds. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
