I too am fighting a cold from ****. I have been skipping the gym because my cold is also causing some major magraines. I seriously have been laying around all day. I had gotten off course of a healthy lifestyle for the weekend then got this cold, so I have used this sick time to just focus on eating healthy and fighting this bug.
One thing I fell in love with these last few days is crystal light, the pom/cherry blend. Its supposed to help with immunity boost but I got it because it was the only yummy looking flavor that was sold in big packets to make a pitcher of. I of course stick with straight water as much as possible but sometimes when I am wanting sweets or something with flavor to be more filling (psychologically of course) I have a glass of that. It feels good on my throat and my sweet tooth.
Also, I'm all for fighting sickness naturally, but if you must go out for work or whatever, my family and I all swear by advil cold and sinus. It works awesome! The good kind has pseduphedrine (sp?) in it so we can't get it here in Oregon, but my dad went to vancouver, wa this last weekend and brought me some... great stuff.
Get better hun! Do what you can but don't push yourself until your body is ready to focus it's energy on that and not attacking the virus.
