Hope you start to feel better hun!

Hope you get to feeling better soon RT!! Being sick is NO fun!!

Keep downing the VitC and zinc. Do you take any kind of vitamin supplements daily? When looking in Fitday at your vitamin balances are you low in zinc and Vit C? I was every day, hence I now take a zinc supp and eat a little more fruit (even though it's not the best food for cutting).

Hope you feel better soon

OK, going to ask another of my silly questions:

You said that you have learned not to eat carbs and fat in the same meal. Why not? How has this helped? I can't find a definitive answer on my searches.

Thanks RT

It's not a silly question at all, Mermaid. This seems to be one of the popular debates here on EF. I don't have the etiquette to explain it, but basically this is what was suggested to me eons ago, when I first posted my sample diet by Shadow. Since he's an expect, I just have been following it since blindly.

Basically, I was told to not eat complex carbs and fats in the same meal. It is okay to mix fibrous veggies and EFAs in the same meal though. You may have better luck if you search on the diet forum on why. Or hopefully someone else will jump in and explain this theory better. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Sun, 1/7

Thanks for the get well wishes, everyone. I think they must have worked a little since I am feeling better. I dropped the zinc and vitamin c routine and just went the cold meds route last night. My nose isn’t running anymore. I do take a daily vitamin, Mermaid, but people around me seem to get sick often unfortunately.

Scale weight: 123lbs

REST DAY

9:30am:
1 scoop whey mixed with water
¼ cup pecans

11:30am: Brunch with friends
(was supposed to be cheat meal, but decided with all the holiday eating I did this past long weekend, I could wait to indulge)

~ 6 oz seared tuna with 1/4 cup avocado relish

This turned out to be pretty good. No real regrets about not choosing the chocolate chip waffle instead

2:30pm:
7 oz cooked shrimp
½ cup brown rice
steamed broccoli

5:30pm:
3 oz broiled salmon
2 brown rice cakes
½ cup blueberries

8:30pm:
3 oz salmon
steamed broccoli

No totals for the day since I don’t have the macros for the meal I ate out today

Glad you're feeling better, RT! Doesn't it just tick you off when you see people sneezing all over everything or knowing their sick and they come to work and give it to you anyway?!?!?

I have people who come in to the studio, tell me they feel like crap and then go back and cough and sneeze while their in the tanning bed. As soon as they leave, I get out the lysol and spray the whole room down......can't stand that!!!

Looks like you're doin' pretty dern good with the diet!!!
