Hot tea or chicken broth always makes me feel better when I'm sick with a sore throat, sinus stuff. By all means, don't worry about exercise right now. Your body needs to concentrate on getting well. If I'm not sleeping well, my appetite goes bonkers, so maybe try taking something at night to help you rest better. If you don't feel like cooking, is there someone who can help with the food prep or get you something on plan? I love Progresso Lentil Soup. There are a few tomato soups out there that are SB compatible. I also keep some Amy's Low Fat Black Bean Chili on hand for when I can't or won't be able to make something from scratch. Don't know if this helps but hoping you're feeling better soon!
Spicy thai soups (like tom yum) without noodles are good, or you could look into making a spicy asian broth of your own without noodles. Hot and Sour soup from the Chinese restaurant is also good! Spicy stuff always makes me feel better when I'm sick. You could have a hot toddy too!! (with agave, not sugar). Don't worry about the exercise, you'll get back on the saddle, but if you do belong to a gym with a steam room, that might feel really good to sweat it all out and clear your head. Feel better.
I like to make a no chicken no noodle soup
I use veggie broth(you could use chicken)
celery
onions
carrots
all diced up- you can sautee first if you like or just dump all in a pot and boil.
I second the progresso lentil soup. I always have a few cans of that in my closet.
