Playing Catch up!

I've been ill.  I left work on Wednesday the 29th at lunch... went home to find the loveseat welcoming me.  I snoozed til 4:20PM and woke to go to the doctor at 5PM.  Got back home around 6:30PM and slept until the next morning at 11AM. 
Doc said I had a sinus infection and bronchitis.  He gave me something called Biaxin XL for it. Prescribed that I take one twice a day for 10 days. Also, gave me cough medicine so I could sleep.
I didn't need the cough medicine.. I took it each night but looking back I was allergic to the meds that were prescribed and passed out for nearly the entire weekend. 
Saturday, I was at home alone with our kids... (not knowing the meds were effecting me the way that they were)  I honestly thought I was weak from not having eaten for the last 3 days.  So, I ate grabbed up the kids and took them to a huge children's consignment sale that was going on maybe 10 miles from my house.
When we started shopping I wondered how we'd gotten to the store... I didn't remember getting there! I didn't remember eating!  I decided we needed to go home. So, I grabbed up my kids and headed back home.
Sunday, I stopped taking the medicine -  was still having weird side effects and realized I must be allergic to it.
Monday, I went to work... still feeling side effects - I barely remember Monday. Didn't go to the gym Monday... passed out on the couch at home with a blistering headache while the kids were eating their supper.
Tuesday... still feeling the meds... had to take LuLu to Cheerleading - didn't feel like it but wore my big girl panties and took her anyway.
Wednesday - Finally the meds were out of my system.  I felt much better aside from the headache that lingers. Went to the gym - had an awesome workout. Weighed in - I'd lost 2.8# since my last weigh in.
I feel like it will come back but I'm eating right and hoping for the best.
I ran last night - a mile - longest since my 5k. shins feel much better.
Thinking of talking with a running coach but there are none in town, so it would have to be someone online.

Today... still have a headache... hoping to run when I get off work.
