Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on January 6, 2016

DAY 10 - Today was another good day!!! I got on the scale, and I lost another .4 pounds!!! WOOHOO!!! I'm inching my way to the 220s!!! :-)

This morning (6:45am), I went to the Honda dealership because I had to get my airbags replaced in my Honda Civic (got a letter requesting that I do so - airbag recall). Afterwards, I had to pick up a couple of items from Family Dollar. I was sooo tempted to get a couple of Snickers and eat one for lunch and one for dinner because I'm sooo tired from not getting any sleep last night. The alarm on my cable box kept going off and I didn't know how to shut the DARN THANG OFF!!! I called Verizon, and they told me what to do, but that left me only getting 3 hours before I had to get up. Those 3 hours were a bust because I coughed and coughed and coughed!!! I'm sooo tired of coughing!!! I have a doctor's appt tomorow, and I'm gonna ask her about Tessalon. (Pharmacist said it helps stop persistent coughs.) Anyway, I'm gonna call it an early night because I'm ready to pass out!!!

For lunch, I ate eggs with cheese, and for dinner, I ate a steak with steamed brocolli. Everything was delicious as always!!! :-)

I hope you all have a wonderful evening!!! KITCHEN IS CLOSED!!! Nitey night Everybody!!! :-)

Thanks sooo much Biking Syl!!! My doctor said that I have moderate GERD and wants me to continue taking Nexium for another 3 months. Girl, I'm coughing like crazy!!! I'm starting to wonder if the cleaning products have something to do with this persistent cough that I can't get rid of. This morning, I sprayed Awesome in my tub to clean it, & I coughed until I almost couldn't breathe!!! Something has to give because I can't keep living like this!!! :-( Also, she gave me a prescription for Tessalon (7 days) to help stop my cough, but she doesn't want me to take it til I have my PFTs (pulmonary function tests) on 1/13/16. Oh well.... It is what it is..... I also have an appt on 1/20/16 with my pulmonary physician....... Thanks for your positive energy!!! I definitely received it!!! :-)

Wow...No wonder your all pooped out. Get your rest...So important even though coughing and rest don't even go together in the same sentence very well. Hopefully that clears up soon.

Thanks Chrystal!!! It's hard for me to sleep coughing all the time, but any little cat nap I get in between helps!!! LOL!!!

I have a Honda Civic too, but have not received a recall notice. I believe they didn't want to get inundated with everyone coming in at once to replace the airbags, so they are gradually sending out notices. I'm sorry about your cough. My husband has the flu and has slept nonstop for the past 2 days. He has a nasty cough too. Great job on your weight loss! I hope you get a good nights sleep, Adrienne.

You're very welcome JAZZ!!! :-) Thanks for taking time out to read up on Sarcoidosis. I've done a lot of research too; I've even written a book about my personal experience with this disease (Living With Sarcoidosis: Defying The Odds - Adrienne Anderson - amazon.com) My pulmonary physician put me on Prednisone (10 mg.) for a little over 2 months, & it didn't help: I ended up gaining 70 pounds & suffering with severe lower back pain as a result of taking & I still have this cough. My body doesn't work well with Prednisone!!! It doesn't matter what dosage: I BLOW UP!!! I do indeed have GERD. The esophagram I took confirmed that I have moderate GERD, & my doctor wants me to continue taking Nexium for another 3 months. She also wants me to take Tessalon for 7 days after I take my pulmonary function tests next week. Hopefully, I'll get some relief once I take it. Nothing else works..... I'm wondering if my cleaning products are the culprit for this persistent cough I have. I used Awesome for a while, & whenever I use it, I cough like crazy!!! I sprayed my tub with it to clean it, & then I started coughing and I could barely catch my breath!!! That was scary!!! I won't be using that again!!! Whenever I've had a sarcoid flare-up, I never suffered with a cough; I always had shortness of breath (2009 I had swelling on my brain). Right now I have a little shortness of breath, & if my PFTs reveal that my disease is active, my doctor is gonna put me on a high
