I have been sick for about two weeks. It seems like a bad flu lead to an infection that spread quickly: sinus, ear, throat, lungs and eyes all spewing forth.

Now I am finally on antibiotics and slowly healing. And trying to figure out how to build back to fitness after two weeks of being in bed:( A half mile walk, with a short break in the middle sent me back to bed today, but I live on a boat and that is how far it is to walk the dock to shore and back.

I had been planning on adding resistance training last week, but I guess I should work on stamina now. I hope it doesn't take too long to recover from this set back.

    Dude in the same boat, spent the last having things come out of me that no sane person should have to see, I am just building back up to my walking, best to just take it easier until your all well, I am having a knee operation next week so that will put me out for another few weeks, this just as I decided I needed to diet and get fit again after spending 15 years sitting at a desk. This getting and staying fit is a pain in the *kitten* but worth it in the end, I suppose. :smiley:

    Good luck with your surgery!

    I have been back on MFP for five weeks today, and spent two of them struggling to eat and move, rather than working towards a healthier me.

    Well you probably got a good jump on weight loss anyways :p take it slow and recover, pushing too hard just turns you off trying anyways.
