Thank you Flu

I am down ONE WHOLE POUND!
Is it because of the amazing-but-knee-killing-BL workouts I've been doing?
No.
Or the salad only diet I've been trying to stick to?
Nope.

I got the Flu. Folks, it was mean and nasty, came out of no where and knocked all 210--now 209 lbs, of me on my larger than life sized ass! I'm now on day 6 of it and while I have been able to return to work, I still have a 2 pack-a-day cough going on and get winded just trying to put on the exercise gear, let alone keeping up with the avatar-ed Jillian Michaels. I know not to exercise when I'm this sick, so I haven't, but I feel like I'm letting myself down.

Also, I ate 5 oreo's yesterday. Double stuffed. Spring Yellow. Now, let me say that I have a problem with the yellow coloring of the icing inbetween the cookies. Clearly, not enough of a problem to not eat an Oreo (or Five of them) but still, in the back of my mind, the Yellow # 4 is eating away at my psyche....and my arteries.

I am giving myself this weekend to fully recover and should be back on the wagon come Monday. This weekend is grocery shopping so hopefully I will stock the house with healthy foods. Any suggestions?
