But feels a little like a bug…
Maybe dietary. I’ve been skipping a few meals to keep my weight down. Not that I miss them. But today I’m also hungry.
Feeling kind of iffy today—don’t know what on earth I could have been exposed to…

I felt that way about an hour after breakfast this morning. Grabbed a fruit bar and that seemed to help some. I have to be careful about skipping meals, it’s too easy to gorge when I do eat, then.
Skipping meals too often will get you in trouble one way or another, whether energy drops, eating more when you next eat, or other swings and urges.
I’ve promised myself to do better about my eating habits, which aren’t too bad, but need to be better. Cooking ahead and freezing it, for my own frozen dinners, for instance. (A couple of recent TV dinners helped to convince me of that.)
Working from home and a tendency to keep at it instead of taking a break or fixing meals, and crummy budgets…not a good combination for good meal habits.
I’ve been running around for a few weeks, off and on, with sinus trouble, either normal winter stuff or something not quite a cold. Really wish it’d clear up, but the weather and errands out among people are probably keeping it going.
Our weather’s about to have a rapid 30+ degree drop on Wednesday with an incoming storm, and stay cold and wet on Thursday. Good reason to get my errands done early tomorrow and stay in! With likely an extra blanket and soup or chili a couple of nights, and my warmest robe at night. But the temp is supposed to even out after that. Nothing like folks up north and back east are having it this winter, though. Still, I don’t recall many 30+ degree drops in a 24 hour period here. That did happen now and then while in college, a couple of hours’ drive north of here, though.
CJ, you and Jane stay cozy, warm, and dry, and enjoy being at home a while. And hey, take care of yourself.
Chiana on Farscape would recommend Crichton’s “chee-gan zoop.” (Oh, the browser’s auto-incorrect really fussed at that one!)
Some fresh or canned (preserved) fruit’s a good idea too, like Joe said.
And plenty of hot tea. Or possibly gfi.
Take care!
Have you looked into the “Fast Diet”, aka the 5:2 diet? It works for me, though I can’t quite get down to the 500-600 calorie days recommended, but settle for about 700 some.
The thing about it is everybody agrees that to be successful one must make long-term changes in diet/lifestyle. Most diets, especially the “crash diet” sort, fail at that. This is pretty easy to keep up for the long term.
My wife and I do the 5:2 diet. It works, and is relatively easy to live with. And if you miss a day now and then, as long as you get back on the schedule, that’s not a problem.
when I lost all that weight last year, I didn’t use ANY diet plan – period. I just ate less. I’m not sure that diet plans are all that successful, especially when you have to buy special food (like Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutri-System, Atkins, etc.).
But, as the TV commercial says, your individual results may vary.
Well, that’s an apt description of the 5:2 diet. One just eats less, albeit a lot less, two days a week. No special foods to eat or avoid. One day out of every three or four isn’t that much of a privation.
Weight Watchers will sell you food but you certainly don’t have to buy it. I’ve been a member for years and have never bought any of their food products.
