Hey all... I am deathly ill... my son had a case of croup- and now that he is better I have something similar- my nose will not stop running, I cannot hear or smell- I am so congested. My chest hurts too. Bleh.

So I am off MF for a few days- I don't see a big weight gain, as I am eating nothing but Lipton noodle soup and hot tea. This is a terrible time of year to be sick. I had to stay home from work today because I woke up with a fever. Nothing seems to really work- I have triend NyQuil, DayQuil, Tylenol Severe Congestion and Mucinex. The Mucinex just made my nose run all day long. The NyQuil is wonderful becuase I get to pass out at night and get a good night's sleep. The daytime hours suck because nothing works.

Sorry to whine but I feel like death.

I hope you feel better soon! It took me a full week to get back in "non-sick" mode. I'll be thinking about you! And that Nyquil is good stuff. I used to sip on it when I ran out of beer and the store was closed.

How are you doin, Beth? I hope you're feeling better! :wave:

Thanks Kanani! I am feeling much better. I am still not back on plan yet. I have succumbed to the holiday food binging. But I knew that would happen. Tomorrow is dinner at the in-laws, and then the 26th is "Return to Medifast Day"! I am off from work that day, so I will be able to focus on getting back on track. I was originally going to wait until New Year's Day, but that is so cliche. Too many expectations.

So...Tuesday I am back on plan. I am scared to weigh in. I may wait to weigh until Sunday.

Thanks guys!

Ok, I am back on the wagon. I weighed in this morning at 154.8. I have not been that high for a long time. My pants are getting tight again. This is awful. Hopefully some of this is TOM weight- I am getting that any second now.

So... that being said. I am back on track, the holidays are over, and I am getting to goal this time if it kills me.

I still have a terrible sinus infection. I think it is because I never drink water unless I am on MF. Maybe I am dehydrated? Don't worry, I have a 40-gallon Evian in my lap as I type!

Indoor heating also wrecks havoc with my sinuses. Sounds like you are doing the right thing by drinking water. My mother always tells me to use a humidifier or just boil water on the stove to get more moisture in the air.

We just ran over to the Lucky Jeans store. Amazing. I bought these $138 Lucky Jeans for my hubby for Christmas. They turned out to accidentally be low-rise, which is not his style. So we went to exchange them- turns out Lucky was having a huge 50% off sale- so we got two pairs for the price of one! I love after-Xmas sales!! I am going to go check out Bath & Body Works tomorrow- they have massive sales too. I wish I had more money to get more.

Well, today is the end of my third day with a migraine/tension headache. I skipped my relatives house on Christmas Day because I felt like crap then too. This sucks. A headache for three days. I am going to go lay down again.

I am glad your terrible headache didn't stop you from getting a great deal on those jeans. I am sorry the Retail Therapy didn't work on the headache. :cry:

Things went from bad to worse. After several doses of Motrin and Excedrin did not work, I took a Percocet. Which STILL did not help. So I went to bed and had a very disturbed sleep for a few hours. I woke up at 11:00 and had a bowl of cereal- I felt I needed food after all those pills- because I felt so dizzy.
I went back to sleep at 11:30- then woke at 1:30 with a full migraine- nauseous, head pounding- I started crying in bed. Then my husband walks in and says that something is wrong with the baby and I have to go with them to the E/R. I followed them in my car. I got there and the room was spinning. I walked to the bathroom and threw up. The fluorescent lights were making everything worse. And I was sweating to death. I had to leave and drive myself home. It was dreadful.
I got home and threw up everything I ate yesterday, including salmon with garlic. I don't think I can EVER eat that again now. I spent the next few hours with the windows wide open and feeling like my blood was boiling.
The headache FINALLY went away, but I feel like I am in a cloud.
The baby, it turns out, it lactose intolerant- we just started him on real milk a few days ago, and he was having massive stomach pains with diarrhea.
