Dealing with illness

Well, I didn't post last week, and inquiring minds will probably want to know that I gained 7 1/2 pounds. This is crazy...I am down 13 pounds and then up 7 1/2...
I went to the doctor's office last Tuesday (June 30) because of my ever present and ever popular infection.
The reason it is so popular is because it wants to hang around in my body all the time. Who knew my body would be such a popular place? Okay, well, for those of you who know my past, keep the jokes to yourself (he-he).
It seems I always have this infection going on but at times it is manageable, well this time it wasn't. I had to have some outpatient surgery and was put on antibiotics and was out of commission from the 30th until the 7th of July. In that time I had a second outpatient surgery and I am now getting back into the swing of things, even though I am still feeling a bit under the weather.
So, with this latest infection, I have been mostly bed-ridden which will wreak havoc on a diet and I wasn't able to go to the gym at all, and was told not to go this week either.
So, AMA(against medical advice), I went to the pool on Tuesday, probably not my smartest move but then I am only of average intelligence so...
What I have to convey is that I have missed going to the gym, I really felt as if I needed to go. Is that some kind of attitude shift I am feeling? I did go to get weighed this past week, and left right after weigh in, I was still that sick. I lost 1 pound, which is good, but how it happened, I couldn't tell you. I am trying to get into the exercise mode again, I am going to the gym again tonight, but I am still feeling a little under the weather. This is probably why the doctor told me to take another week off.
The eating is not going to great this week, I am just struggling. I do that, especially when I don't feel good , it is hard for me to keep to my diet plan, because trust me it takes work to maintain it, and i feel like I don't have the energy. I know that this is an excuse, I kind of feel I have been making alot of them lately, but I am still not giving up.
Part of me felt as if I didn't want to blog again this week, but this does help keep me accountable, so here it is.
I hope to have a better report for you next week, so until then I hope to lose nothing but weight and gain nothing but knowledge.
