I'm absolutely full of a cold, sneezing and coughing constantly and home from work feeling very sorry for myself.

I've just eaten my second chocolate mini roll.

I think today is just going to be one of those days :(

    Get yourself chicken soup and tea, and oranges. Skip the chocolate.

    My personal favorite cold remedy is a netti pot.


    Feel better soon!

    Thanks, I had chicken soup and I'm still counting. I can't see myself having a 'main meal' tonight so hopefully even with the snacking I'll come in under calories goal.

    Really hard to stay motivated when you feel bad though, definitely no gym session happening today as planned!

    If your nose is the primary complaint, you might actually feel better if you can get yourself out for a walk--even outside in chilly air. It might be worse for the cough, but oddly enough when my nose is stuffy I find I breathe better when I'm moving and the air is cool. It might be all in my head, but that's good enough for me. Slip on a jacket, suck on a Fisherman's Friend cough drop (smell and taste strong but wow do they help) and step outside for a walk to see if it works for you too. Don't push it, just take it easy. It's just walking, not training.

    Can you even taste the chocolate in this condition? Or are you just putting comfort food in your mouth. IF YOU CAN'T TASTE IT, IT ISN'T WORTH IT!!
