Get the Number of That Truck
by Bill Ivory Larson on Mar.05, 2010, under My Daily Weight Loss Blog
Oh man. Thanks to a shot of Nyquil last night (and day two of this cold) I feel as though I’ve been hit by a Mack truck this morning. I actually feel slightly better, though, thanks to some wonderful soup for dinner and orange juice. Lots and lots of orange juice. I’ve had so much orange juice since yesterday afternoon you could split me open and squeeze me and probably fill a glass for yourself.
But man, I feel out of it. I know that’s the body’s way of saying “go back to bed (and don’t you worry, I will be) but I had to get up and write.
Yesterday I wrote about feeding a cold. Well, I fed it alright. I fed it a thin pizza for lunch and that afore-mentioned soup. I gave it all the water it could drink and, again, orange juice. I fed it so that it would get the hell out of my body. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Oh well. So day two of the cold is here. It’s nestled somewhere deep in my chest (which is where colds seem to like to reside in my body) and I have the voice that’s a cross between someone whose sick and someone who DJ’s for a living at the late night jazz radio station.
I know I’m not describing anything new to you guys when I talk about how this cold is making me feel. Suffice it to say I don’t have the energy God gave a flea so this is day two of not only having a cold but also not working out. Grrrrrr. A total drag I don’t mind telling you. I know, I know. It’s better I just rest and deal with whatever pounds I gain from just eating and sleeping later. But I do worry. I know as soon as I’m able I will be back in the gym working out. There’s just a part of me wishing I could do that now, leaving the sick part of me at home to sleep.
Oooooh, does sleep sound good. OK, before I go back to bed I just wanted to say this: it is better to feed that cold. I know I feel horrible today but I feel that way because my body is fighting a bug and is concentrating all its energy on that. That energy comes from the calories and the entire orchard of orange juice I seemed to drink yesterday. So don’t be afraid to give the body the foods it needs to recover.
You (and I) will work off those added pounds. When we feel better that is.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz……….
