Still not feeling well. I have been battling a respiratory infection all week and it's starting to take a toll on me. I have no energy at all making it hard to even do the slightness exercise. I feel like I'm pushing and getting nowhere.

I have been trying to stick to an adequate meal plan but it's been really hard for me. I feel so exhausted that just the thought of preparing a meal is overwhelming. It's so much easier to just grab anything. I know that this is wrong but when you don't feel good you don't care.

I try to stay active in my teams which has helped tremendously. I know I need all the help that I can get.

So many times during the course of this week I felt like throwing in the towel and giving up. I have this voice in my head saying "start when you feel better", or "go ahead and have some comfort food". I've been trying to tell this SOB in my head to shut up but it's hard.

I think I'm blogging this because I want to remember how I am feeling now so that if this should happen to me again or to anyone else, I will know how to handle the situation. I welcome any advice that others may have for me and I am open to all suggestions.
