Happy "Flu" Year

I have the flu.  Not the way I wanted to start my new year.  Especially because I was so excited to start my new year-post holiday season working even harder at bootcamp, getting new recipes cooked, and just a new better me that was better than yesterday.  But I am on detour for a few days.

Fortunately, I don't really have an appetite.  Usually when I am sick I want heavy comfort food with a lot of carbs. Either the new me doesn't crave those things anymore or I am just not that hungry.  I am craving Sour Patch Kids and that is my confession.  Other than that I am on a lite apple juice, unsweet tea and chicken soup (no noodle) diet.  Sour Patch Kids cure anything AND....they were in my bag for the roadtrip to Miami to go to the National Championship game this weekend that I am no longer going to.  I think I am eating them out of pure sadness of missing this big game. But, do not need to miss that much work and have to prioritize.  I am off the rest of this week in Quarantine and we have been off for Christmas break for almost 3 weeks.  So, I need to be at work.  

This is off the subject but related because I am concerned.  Even though I have the flu I also have a bad sinus/upper respiratory infection.  The doc today gave me a steroid shot, a new stronger antibiotic than what the doc called in yesterday (because I thought I only had sinus crud) and Tamiflu of course.  The pharmacist told me today that I cannot workout/exercise for about 2 weeks after coming off of the antibiotic because it can cause kidney failure. Levaquin.  I was like WHAT?  Not even stressed about the kidney failure....I'm stressed about not being able to work out.  I have evoloved.  Maybe too much! I'll have to research this.  I need my bootcamp badly!!
