I'm getting sick... Also thoughts on eating back exercise cals.

Jan 09, 2017

Welp, 2 hours in to my 5-hour study session I felt it; the tickle in the back of my throat, then came the runny nose, then the cough. Its official I have a cold. But I won’t let this get me down. I went to the gym today so tomorrow is a rest day anyway. All I need to do tomorrow is study. I have one chapter and three lecture videos to watch before the exam on Wednesday. I can totally do this. I’m sure the other patrons at the coffee shop will appreciate my coughing and sniffling.

On an up note I switched from coffee to herbal tea (no sugar) when I started to feel bad so my “water” intake doubled (I still drank about 48 oz. of plain water). Also, I’ve not really had the urge to comfort myself with food so that’s a plus. I’m totally within my calorie budget for the day.

I’ve decided not to eat back my exercise calories. I’ve read that people tend to over-estimate how much they burn. I’m not sure I trust my Fitbit’s calculations so I’ll just stick to the basic recomended calories to loss 1.5 lbs. pper week. What do you think?
