Question...

So I'm on Day 3. I'm still feeling pretty good about myself, however...

My husband and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather (and the fact that our town isn't completely mobbed yet!) and go for a bike ride. We went about 7 minutes, and I was overcome by a huge coughing fit. Just could not stop coughing, I couldn't get enough air, and it didn't get any better while riding. I ended up turning around and going home, and my husband kept on. I'm glad he did, I'd feel really bad if my damn coughing fit kept him from enjoying the ride.

I know that's probably normal. My lungs are still ridding themselves of all the crap they've accumulated. I'm trying my damndest not to get discouraged by it, but it still kinda sucks.

So I'm wondering...has anything like that happened to anyone?

there are usually a few different ways to think of this ...............

i think it G-R_E_A_T ................................the body is healing itself from the poison you are no longer putting in your body..............

cough up all that crap .....................you will have so many good bike rides soon and into future !!
