21 Days for a Habit/Day 3

Well what do you know.... I'm sick! I'm really sick!!! It all started with a tiny scratchy throat feeling last night and I woke up to full blown sickness. My throat was so sore and swollen I could barely pass my saliva. I ran a fever all day long. By 2:00 p.m. I was completely run down. A few of my coworkers even told me I looked pale :(

My drive home was torture! There were two wrecks and the rain was being annoying. Mind you, I felt as if my head, arms, and legs were going to detach from my body. As soon as I got home my husband also pointed out that I looked very pale. I took a look at myself in the mirror and let's just say that "pale" is not a good look on me. My husband offered to get me something to eat and of course, I chose Pho!!! The weather and my sickness joined forces to go for the Pho. I also had a grilled beef Banh Mi to go with it. I barely even ate today, so by dinner time I was starving. I actually did more drinking than eating today. I drank three teas, coffee, and a lot of water. I am expecting for all of these liquids to flush this nastiness out of my body, NOW!

Here is a little glimpse of what I had today. Not 100% healthy, but it's the best that I could do while having zero energy to cook. Tomorrow will be a better day :)

Breakfast: Red Berry Special K cereal, again

Lunch: half of a ham, egg, cheese sandwich from Starbucks (I picked this up on my 30 minute lunch break after picking up meds from Walgreens)

Dinner: Beef flank Pho and a grilled beef Banh Mi

Drinks: Chamomile tea, ginger tea, green tea, coffee

I am taking tomorrow off from work so I can rest up and be ready to go on Monday. I try to not miss work too much because I feel guilty leaving my students but it's pointless for me to be in the room feeling like mush, trying to teach. My health comes first and rest is exactly what I need to feel better.

I will be back tomorrow with a healthier menu as I am expecting to feel less like a zombie and more like a human. Goodnight!!!
