I am getting sick. Throat Sore and starting to get stuffed up. Anyone have any hints as to how I can keep up my motivation? Comfort food cravings are going to kick in and it is going to be hard to find the motivation to exercise.

    Start attacking it now with zicam, Bolthouse Farms C-Boost juice, and airborne. If it turns out to be allergies, get some zyrtec. Get some rest & keep fighting the good fight!

    My allergies have been hitting me off and on and although its not the same as a sore throat it still SUCKS! I found that once I got my butt to the gym I actually started to feel better. Just do what you can, and still try to eat good. You don't want to overdo it and become sicker than you already are!

    When I am getting sick I take a lot of zinc with echinacea and vit C, it helps to make it go away faster. Then I would just eat lots of fruit and veggies, focus on your diet for the most part and take it easy on the cardio, you don't want to push yourself too hard when you are sick.

    This.

    It works wonders. I was starting to get sick a few days before I went on vacation with my husband for our anniversary... I had been taking Zicam for days and it wasn't helping at all... made some of this with some honey, drank it, and no lie, I woke up totally fine the next morning! I gave some to my friend when she was getting sick; she was already sicker than I had been so it didn't work as quickly, she was still sick the next day, but got over it much quicker and was even able to go out with friends all weekend long, just two days later!

    If you don't have anything to steep loose leaf tea, they have these: http://theteaspot.com/tuffy-tea-steeper-steepware.html?catid=251 which are so easy to use and not very expensive at all.

    <3 my tea =) Feel better!!
