Sick again

Right after I wrote my pig-out post on Saturday, I realized I was getting another head cold. Second one in a month. At first I thought it was allergies, but it wasn't.

So, the pig-out that actually occurred was very restrained compared to what I had planned. My throat was getting sore, and so I really didn't feel like eating much, junk or otherwise. I did have one donut, a few pieces of red licorice, and a few Lindt truffles. The donut was kind of tasteless, probably because my taste buds were screwed up. In fact, none of my junk food tasted that great. Then in the evening, we didn't go to out to dinner as planned. So not much of a pig-out day. That's okay.

Since Saturday, I've been feeling very contagious (sneezing and constantly blowing my nose) so I've been hanging out at home. I called in sick to work yesterday and today. I know nobody would appreciate me coming in and spreading this germ. Of course, since I'm home, Buster has been bugging me to go to the park, and I really haven't felt up to it. He just sits next to the couch and stares at me, for hours. Today, Hub had to go to a job site, so he took B with him to give me a break from the constant staring.

I really haven't felt like eating, so it's been pretty easy to stick to the 4HB diet, except for I haven't worked out or been drinking enough water. I'm not sure I'm going to weigh on Saturday. Since my normal schedule is screwed up, it will probably have played havoc with my results. I may just wait until next Saturday to weigh in. There's no hurry.

In the meantime, I've been reading my Kindle, watching lots of TV (thank goodness for HGTV and TCM 31 Days of Oscar), taking regular doses of Alka Seltzer Plus (I love that stuff), and sleeping.

Well, speaking of Alka Seltzer Plus, it's about time for another dose. Take care everyone, hope you don't get this bug!
