Coughing Burns Calories
I’ve had one damn cold after another this month, and I have missed a lot of time at the gym. Most of the month, in fact. Prior to that, I’d been stuck at the same weight almost since New Year’s. So it was with great trepidation that I stepped on the scale last night, for the first time in six weeks or so.
I was pleased to discover that I have now lost about twenty pounds since July. This is the general vicinity of my halfway point, and it’s very encouraging. The only downside is that I figured that I’d gotten stuck, so I caved in and bought some new clothes…some of which are now getting very loose indeed. It feels good, though. Very, very good.

Coughing has to help, I have been on a heavy coughing trip for 2 days now, am I sick no my allergies are going crazy, so I cough real hard deep coughs that may go on for 5 min or more at a time, when the fit is done, I am almost out of breath and I feel like I ran almost a mile.
I think I’d rather run the mile.
