Anyone have any advice?

I haven't caught up to the end of today so maybe people have answered these all but I think
1) you're starting to look smoking hot and your hubby is noticing and thinking everyone else is thinking your as hot now too! (= compliment in a weird way)
2) As someone said, he may be feeling self-conscious about
himself. Validate that you appreciate his worries, and that he's right - his wife IS smoking hot -- but isn't he a lucky guy that your eyes are only for him
3) I liked all the other advice given about safety precautions to go over with him to show him you're as prepared as you can be.

I would buy a shaker at Walmart (cheaper than IP) and leave it in your car with a powder packet. You can get a bottle of water at any store/drive through/vending machine to have a cold refreshing shake that won't go bad. I tried adding the powder to a water bottle and made more of a mess than it was worth. Lol (or get a funnel at dollar store -- that would work too)

Here is what i have been eating:
BF: IP Wild Berry Shake (8:30)
Snack: IP BBQ Chips (10:30) becuase im so hungry
Lunch-IP Chicken A LA King and 2 cups veggies, usually peppers and cucumbers.(12:30
Snack: IP PUdding or Carmel Nut Bar(4:00, if i can make it that long)
Dinner:8 oz of meat and some cooked veggies
Im not thrilled with my coach, so i thought i would ask here...what am i doing wrong?

I'm not sure about "wrong" but you do have BBQ chips for breakfast snack and then an Caramel Nut bar for pm snack = 2 restricteds. Turn one of those into boiled eggs or celery or something. A shake can be much more filling too if you add the ice and make a smoothie. I get 2-3 servings of thick liquid from one shake pack. If the taste is too diluted you can add a shot of a flavour liquid like a DaVinci syrup maybe? Finally, loads of people have mentioned to make a large salad. At work when I make my salad people at first questioned "Is it staff lunch? Are you making that for all of us?"... Nope people -- get your eyes off my prize!

I'm pretty sure I have the flu. Body aches, chills, headache, fever (though never over 100.5?)...Is the IP protocol hindering my immune system in anyway? I'd really like to get better ASAP. I've stayed 100% OP since I started feeling ill but I don't know if the low calorie and carb counts are hurting anything. Thoughts?

My thoughts are that when I'm on IP I'm taking more vitamins and eating more healthy food than I ever have before so I can't see that hindering your immune system. It is a brutal time of year for illness and tons of people are sick right now. I have all of the above, including sinus and sore throat - we all just keep getting better then giving it back to each other. Just remember to avoid cough syrups etc. that are loaded with sugar
