5th day of Induction: Feel like crap!

[Lilacs]

Sounds like the induction flu to me. I take ibuprofen to help with the achiness, and I find that drinking cold water helps me for some reason.I scale back my activity, but don't cut out exercise. I just do the best I can on my treadmill.

This does pass, and you will not believe how good it feels once it does! Can't WAIT for it!

This is really good advice from Ammamady: "Make sure you remember what it feels like when the temptation sets in, and remind yourself you don't want to go there again."

From someone who IS "going there again," I wish I had heeded this!!
