Wow, I hope it's not covid!  I make a cup of hot water, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and stir, wait for it to cool down, and gargle with it when I have a bad sore throat.  If I remember to do that a few times a day, it really helps.  Hope you feel better!!

nothing to log. still have the flu/cold. dont want to do anything but sleep.
thanks Marsia I just had a glass of orange juice.  If my throat gets worse I will take your advice for sure. Right now it's mostly stuffy nose and a lot of coughing. I should take the covid test I have but the thought of sticking a cotton swab so far up my nose it scratches my brain is very unappealing.

flu is gone. feeling much better now. weight seems to be stuck at 188 just like it was when I was 197. Ive been eating junky food so I hope that I can move away from that kind of food so I will see the weight start to drop.

I'm glad the flu is gone now, Andrew. You won't stay stuck at 188 if you stay away from junk food. It's great that you have dropped 9 lbs.

Thanks Cate. Usually we have take out at least once a week and it's not helping.

Maybe now that you're better you can load up on healthy food the meal before the take-out meal?  I'm glad you're feeling better!!

Thanks Marsia.  :grouphug:  :jump:  That's a good idea. better to fill up on healthy food instead of junk. Usually we get it on Thursday or Friday so im good for at least 3 or 4 days. Trying to eat clean these other days.

well I failed. first day and my family brought home Chinese food. I should have implemented the plan Marsia suggested and filled up on healthy stuff beforehand but it was kinda a surprise. she went out to get coffee and came home with the food. going to try and not eat anything for the rest of the day.

If something like that happens again you could freeze a container "for another time". Or eat what you think is a reasonable portion & freeze some when they are finished. Your Mum might get less in next time if that happens. It's not being wasted that way.

I will have to try that. never knew you could freeze Chinese food.

Let it cool down first in the fridge with the lid off & then freeze.
