The flu sucks!

Well, great explanation as to why I felt horrible since Monday night, I fought the flu for almost three days without knowing what was wrong (and trying to put off going to the doc). It took the doc less than five minutes to give me the results, yep, got the flu! Not too pleased about it either. My inner comedian says, well, at least you don't have an appetite! What can I say, I'm an optimist!?!?

Yesterday was pretty bad, I ate about three bites of a plain, cold baked potato and drank orange Powerade. I slept way more than I was awake and about 915, decided I WAS hungry and sent the moose on a food mission. Now, before I say what I ate, I'm going to say, I usually order twice what I got and eat ALL of it. That being said, I got a single cheeseburger, fries and a sweet tea from RO's. I ate about 3/4 of the burger with only one side of the bun, 1/2 the fries and there's still more than 1/2 the tea sitting here with me. The bad news is that is VERY bad food. The good news is that I kept it down and slept really good last night.

So far all I've been able to eat today was a sugar free strawberry jello (which I couldn't keep down) and one small banana (which I split with the three dogs) which I did keep down. I'm still on the orange Powerade, along with Tamiflu for five days and some kick ass cough syrup. The downside and worst part is that due to not being able to eat right, I have a massive headache that is keeping my nerves pretty tore up and boy, have I been mean!

Guess that's enough for now. Just wanted to update right quick while I had enough energy to hold my eyes open for more than five minutes. And since I did promise this would be real, my official weight at the doctor's office yesterday was 217.3. My first goal is to be under 200 by mid-April and you know what...I'M GONNA DO IT!
