I'm on day 2 ahhhhhgghh

I'm having a very hard time right now cause I'm working and this is not something easy to hide. Maybe the fact that I'm sick already with a cold and sore throat helps. Sure wish I had something yo make my throat feel better

Oh yeah, I remember that! If you can this evening, try to pamper yourself. Do you have some movies or shows you've been meaning to watch? I had a lot of stuff on the DVR that I watched and deleted. I also wrapped up in a quilt and sipped some herbal tea with lemon and honey and a peppermint stick in it. For the first few days I ate broth, crackers, and toast. That was all I could handle but it was something.

Exercise definitely helps. I walk 2 to 4 miles a day, plus do all of my PT exercises. The first three days was rough for me. You are doing awesome if you can get some exercise in. You've got the right attitude!
