Today is a blah day.m I have pneumonia and slowly it is getting better..
But I haven't been quite as good on food choices, the ability to be vertical and cook oraffecting my weight.. I gained 5 pounds within two days.. and I think the codeine to suppress the coughing is the main culprit.
I woll get better and I expect it will drop back down when off the meds.. bit man it is hard to stay positive when my scales hate me..
I am still within calorie limits each day.. but less exercise etc..

I certainly wouldn't be worrying about food and exercise while I was in the middle of fighting pneumonia. I would be eating whatever sounded good what someone would bring me and watching TV.0
