12-23-10 Thursday christmas weigh-in

I have not been able to do my program at all this week. I have been suffering with pneumonia and a severe bronchial infection for 2 weeks now. The only thing that I can say is I am starting to show some progress in my healing finally. I have slept so much lately, whether I wanted to or not. I haven't  had any energy to make the right foods, let alone work out, and they have me on steroids now so I know I am gaining weight at the moment. I am not letting this deter me, I just see it as a momentary bump in the road. I do ask for you prayers for me and my family because my wife is also fighting a severe bronchial infection, and my kids are both dealing with heavy colds. It is tough to say the least, but I know this is almost behind us. I know we are all going to need a week or two to detox after we get through all this, I have a pharmacy in the cabinet now. I have tried more garlic and oinions, but with all the other stuff I am taking, I don't know yet what that is doing. I believe the effects of everything else is too much for the natural effects to show through but I fear eliminating the drugs completely at this point because of the severity of our condition.

I am actually really tired right now so I am going to make this short. I have gained 2 lbs and I haven't taken my measurements, so next week I will be able to give you better stats. I am retaining water and I am taking steroids, so the weight of 506 at this point is meaningless. I love you guys and I hope all of you have a merry Christmas, I will get back in this next week and I will have better news. James.
