I may skip the weigh-in for a week as it wouldn't be accurate as I'm not feeling well. I went to the doctor's this evening, just before they closed. My doctor was out sick, three doctors in the clinic were out sick the Nurse Practioner told me. So whatever I've got - stomach flu, headache, slightly sore throat, runny nose, etc. it's going around this area. The NP told me fruit juice isn't good for a flu as it causes one's body to flush everything out. So that was good to know. I got PowerAde to replenish my electrolytes - it's great for Atkins! No carbs! So if you're ever sick get some, it is similar to Gatorade without the sugar. Good news - I don't have strep, they can do a five-minute test now. But she took a culture anyway, as in the earliest stages of strep it might not show up on the five-minute test. Someone I took a ride with the other day to a mall the other day got diagnosed with strep, so that's why I got checked. Today it got into the mid 40s and was sunny, which would be terribly cold in the warmer areas, but after the cold we've had it was welcome. There's no snow on the ground but dirty piles here, tomorrow we're expecting an inch or two. Someone told me they've already seen a robin, so spring isn't far away. Maple sugar season is near now - the real stuff is made here in this area. It is one of the few things I really miss on Atkins...:) P.S. I got Powerade ZERO... I don't know if they make one with sugar...
