I have a really bad cold and I can taste nothing! :ohwell: I am eating only b/c I have too.
I have no desire to eat anything even after forcing myself to do cardio for 45 minutes.
Should I force myself to eat or just let it slide for today? I was up 1lb today so I really want to kick it into gear this week before I backslide too far!!!
Making myself some Vegetable Beef Barley Soup .....
Thanks for any advice!

    I would stick to your healthy routine BUT I have found when I have a cold its better for me to load up on fruit and jello and yogurt..I eat more when I can not taste stuff soooo I eat more of the good and guilt free stuff
