I'm Officially Sick :(
I've always been pretty bad about eating healthy when I'm sick. I've got a cold. I used to eat spicy things like General Tso's chicken or other spicy Chinese foods. I also like wonton soup and other kinds of soup, I eat lots of soup when I'm not well.
But because I'm changing my eating habits I'd like to eat healthy while I'm sick. I went to the grocery store and got some cans of the "light" soups. But they have a lot of sodium and I don't want to overdo it on sodium. So anyway, what do you eat to stay on plan when you get sick? and What about exercise? Should I lay off it till I get to feeling a little bit better or just try to tough it out and continue with my daily exercise routine. |
Sorry you're sick!!!
I'm guessing wonton soup is pretty low in calories... Or try making your own chicken soup with canned low sodium broth... My favorite: 1 large can low sodium chicken broth 1 cup chopped carrots 1 cup chopped celery a whole lot of garlic 1/2 cup white wine (Optional, but it tastes better with...) 1 cooked chicken breast shredded. one quarter pound angel hair pasta one medium onion chopped 1 tbs olive oil sautee onions, garlic and veggies in oil. Add broth and chicken, bring to boil, add pasta-- cook pasta until done. (about 3 minutes) :hug: Hope you feel better soon. |
I make this:
Magic Chicken Soup It seriously makes me and all my kids feel tons better when we have a cold. The garlic is antiviral, the chicken has scientific studies that say it helps get over colds, the ginger and cayenne help with congestion. |
I tend to take it easy until I don't feel like death anymore, then slowly start back at the gym. No need to pass out on a machine or something! :lol:

I'm sick too. And been struggling to eat well. As far as the gym, I think I might try to lift some weights tomorrow, if I try cardio I start coughing uncontrolably! Good luck staying on plan and feeling better.

Thanks for the well wishes and the soup recipes y'all. I still feel pretty poopy today. I could barely drag myself out of bed this morning to get something to eat even though I was starving. I went for a slow walk, so there's my exercise. It wasn't much but I did the best I could and I feel a little better after breathing in the fresh air. I did what I needed to do to get my points in for the points challenge. :)
Now it's time for a nap. |
I'm just getting over a cold. It started while on vacation. boo hoo.
I crave fruit when I'm sick. I barely had any appetite, but I love pineapple, strawberries, grapes. I also ate some trader joes chicken noodle soup. Yum! |
