    Set to maintenance

    Chicken soup

    Meds as required for symptoms

    Sleep

    Childcare

    Wish I knew someone to hire to get them up at 4am for practice but not to many people are that stupid. I think the sleep did me good. My voice is back and I was hungry for lunch. Just going to listen to my body and do what it wants.

    I feel for you, facing a cold without the comfort of ice cream is a tough one. I would try to eat your maintenance intake, lots of tea, and take it easy. Hope you feel better soon!

    Nothing wrong with ice cream. Eat it.

    I think that was in regards to dairy not being a great idea while you are mucusy and coughing. It only leads to more mucus and grossness.

    Rest. You're not well.
    Let yourself heal and recover, stay hydrated and relax.

    You can get back on track when you're feeling ready again :)

    This is me exactly - had a rubbish couple of weeks and so ready to get back on track this week and woke up with a stinking cold!! - I did workout anyway though as I'm mad! :p

    It's been raining for about 2 weeks straight here in NC so I didn't get to go out for some running. Yesterday, I woke up with a sore throat, got a low-grade fever in the afternoon, and today, woke up with a small amount of coughing. I had a new ab and core exercise app yesterday too. :/

    I have had a cold for a werk, and i think im the only person i know who is starving wgen they are sick, i also should be getting my period in the next day or 2. Whatever. Eat all the food, like seriously all of it..get better..and move on to next week.

    I also get hungry when I get sick! Yesterday I ate 300 calories over my calorie goal. :/ My body was feeling weak so I figured I should eat something so I don't faint. I'm going to try to stay within today.

    I never want to eat with a cold. Heck, I'm kinda hoping for a stomach bug right now. That's always good for killing the appetite. haha

    Your children have to get up at 4 am? Are these teens? Or actual little children? Either way that sounds thoroughly brutal!

    Maybe you need a rest. You can't carpool with other players a few mornings?
