Well its Sunday, my head cold has moved to my chest, i have sneezed , coughed and farted my way through the past 4 days. I'm hoping I'm coming out of the back end of this as opposed to this coming out of my back end. i miss my exercise. it feels like I'm failing . I have been still watching my food as a cold tends to make me eat more then not eat much depending on the rawness of my throat. I have been making sure to take my vitamin c and d and iron to help me a bit too. I am wearing chest rub, that would have been interesting if i had of asked Damian to help me with some chest rub ;)
i smell like an old man , all i need is a pair of tracky dacks and a flannel shirt. i have carried around a roll of loo paper for days now, to blow my nose on. i am too tragic to actually have tissues in the house. I frantically wipe my hands over with hand sanitiser like a germ phobe , which probably doesn't matter as the kids have all had it. Might i also add the kids got better within two days. whereas i feel like i have been battling this forever. The little ones look at me rather impatiently wondering why I'm still sick and they are not. I blame my thyroid for slowing my healing time down.
I'm determined that tomorrow i am exercising again. If i don't think i can handle cardio due to my lungs then i will just be getting on my bike for as long as i can handle at a very gentle pace. If i feel at all that my body isn't breathing well or coping i will stop. Today i have been having some Bisolvin chesty to help clear any mucous out faster. i guess my body is just exhausted from the coughing and sneezing. I fear these sneezes are so violent and loud that my neighbours must think i am randomly screaming out "HATE YOU"
My biggest worry is that I'm missing precious exercise. this means i will be back at square one and have to get my fitness back up after being unwell and inactive for this long. If i had the money i would be going back to Salt Therapy. I had the most amazing results when i was seriously suffering sinusitis, i had 12 sessions in a salt cave but noticed a vast improvement in my health within two sessions. this is the first time i have had congestion since august 2012 and this is a cold not sinus.
I believe it also helped me with my ability to get into exercise without worrying about not being able to breathe properly.

This is where i had my treatments , and i think i would not have managed as much with my weightloss and exercise if it wasn't for the therapies clearing my head as well as it did. If any of my fellow 12wbters suffer any allergies of breathing ailments that make exercise a bit harder then i would seriously consider trying this natural alternative.
On that note i am in need of a cup of tea , and can hardly keep my eyes open. see you all at weigh in on Wednesday and we will see if my lack of exercise has set me back on my journey to the new me :)
