I finally went a night without having a coughing fit.  That’s progress.  I still have to constantly clear my throat though.  I can’t wait to be able to do cardio.  I think I might ever try do to some tonight.  I’m feeling a little puffy since I haven’t been doing cardio.  It’s almost like everything accumulates in my legs when I don’t do cardio.

I still haven’t decided if I’m doing the show in May.  I’ve been sick for so long that I feel like I’ve missed my crucial muscle building time.  I’ve been going to the gym but not at 100%.  It takes my breath away and it’s hard to work out.  I’m going to see how the next 2 weeks go and then make my decision because I really don’t want to stress like I did last time.  I’m not looking forward to the strict diet.  It’s so easy to slip back into bad eating habits but it seems easier to control it than it did before.

I’ve been doing some cheating on my diet but mostly because I’ve been sick.  I’m not like normal people who don’t eat when they’re sick.  I feel like I need comfort food when I feel crappy.  It’s really one of the few times I cheat.

So I planned out my meals for today.  Jay gave me my new diet so I don’t have to eat so much protein.  I was getting quite sick of chewing…lol.  So we’re off to a great start today.  I just went to have my shake and I think the pineapple juice was bad.  I buy the tiny cans and put 3 oz in my shake and this can had been sitting in my fridge since Friday.  It had that tin taste so I dumped it because I wasn’t taking any chances on getting sick again!
