Bad, Sick, Nasty Boy

I got my wife's cold. It showed up out of the blue today. I stayed home from work. I'm probably staying home tomorrow.

This seems to be the way it always works. I get serious about a diet and I get sick and the diet dies with the virus. I wonder if my resistance goes down when I diet?

So, food today was some baked chicken, four fried eggs, some nuts, some corn chips, then a double cheese burger, Sprite and fries from Wendy's. I didn't eat but a few fries, I couldn't taste them. So ... not good.

My only saving grace for the day is that I discovered the cold as I did my time on the treadmill this morning, so, four days in a row. I will NOT be on the treadmill tomorrow. My streak will have to sit at four days for the moment.

I fully intend to get back on the wagon. But, I've said that before. We'll see.

You can do this, Jericho! One day "off" does not have to be any more than one flubbered day. :o )

Are you taking a multi-vitamin? Most doctors would recommend it when dieting because, yes, your resistance might be compromised since you're not eating a wide variety of foods like you do when you're not dieting. You're probably not getting as much vitamin C since you're not eating fruit and such, so your immune system isn't getting the help it needs.

And like Squishy said, it's just one day "off"... don't give up on it.

Thanks for the support, guys. I'll get back to it.

I do take a multi-vitamin. I even take the expensive One-a-Days, usually. I had bought some less expensive ones last round. There was a study I read about that said several generic tabs didn't have all the vitamins they said they had on their labels. One-a-Day was listed as one that had everything they advertised.
