Monitor Says What!?

Well I remembered to take my FEV1 monitor to the gym today. Hooray for my brain working at 440 in the morning! I was VERY EXCITED over my numbers today. I took my "Fizzy NAC" at about 9:30 am, and went to the gym around 12:30 on my lunch break. After a total of 3 miles in 30 minutes....*Drum Roll Please*....

I blew a 2.27!!!!!!!!!! Here's the reason why the excitement with this number. When I had pnemonia back in October and was on IV's for 2 weeks I blew a 2.21 on the day my PICC came out. So with a combination of going to the Gym 4 days a week, and starting my Fizzy NAC this week, I blew even higher than when on IV's! Let's keep this UP!

I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I've been taken it for a week, and it's supposed to be like Mucomyst. I love it. Just check with your doctor to make sure. I bought mine off of Amazon. But you can buy it other places. Here are the links:
