Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday, but I was suuuper under the weather. 🙁
I woke up at around 3am and then again at 4:30am feeling terrible. I tried going back to bed, but was just so uncomfortable.
I forced myself to work at 9am to pick up my laptop so I could attempt to WFH. I was feeling so drowsy, it was a good thing I wasn’t planning to stay at work.
On my way home, I picked up some sick-day groceries: Suzie’s organic saltines, honey, ginger tea, and chicken broth.
I made some Ginger Tea, which I took to the bedroom to sip on. Instead I fell asleep and forgot to drink it. Doh!
My stomach wasn’t feeling much like consuming ANYTHING.
A little later, I attempted more food consumption: chicken broth, saltines, more ginger tea.
I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised with these saltines. They are tasty and have a short ingredient list. Plus, they are individually wrapped. I’m always willing to pay extra for things individually wrapped because instead of it going bad after only 1 week, I can usually stretch out life of the food for a few weeks or even months. That’s much cheaper than buying a new box every time.
Anywho, I managed to eat the saltines, half the soup, and almost none of the tea. I also managed to down about 2 cups of water, which was good because I knew my body needed some liquids.
I ended up sleeping away most of the day. I just felt so weak. I knew food would give me energy but I didn’t want any.
Around 9:30pm, I attempted food again: egg drop soup and more crackers. I only had a few bites of the soup. I guess I should have stuck with chicken broth because I’m not sure I was ready to eat the eggs. I ate about half of the saltines, too.
I thought maybe sleeping all day would mean I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, but I fell right asleep around 10pm – this is extremely early for me these days. Guess my body needed the rest?
Anywho, so there you have it. What happens when a food blogger gets sick? Their eats are EXTREMELY boring!
It’s Thursday now and I’m feeling a little better, but still very tired. My stomach isn’t ready to eat normal food, but I’m hoping to at least eat more than I did yesterday. I like to think of my body as a car and right now my gas tank is on empty and I feel like I’m running on fumes.:(
What do you eat when you’re having a sick day?
Aww… well, you may have been sick but you had your tea & soup in very pretty bowls and mugs! Feel better soon!
yikes…i’m glad you’re feeling a little better! being sick is the worst. i usually eat the exact same thing, but chicken noodle soup, saltines, and either tea or sprite (depending on whether it’s warm or not outside). take care of yourself!
Can I say when I had food poisoning, I basically ate nada. I had alot of water, ginger ale and apple juice. The next day I ate some crackers and apple sauce. It took about a week before I could really eat normally again *sigh* Everything made me sick.
GET BETTER!
hope you’re feeling better girl!
Hope you’re feeling better 🙁
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Oh that sucks, rest and feel better.
I hope you’re feeling better! Don’t push yourself too much and rest up!
Few weeks ago i was really sick…I didn’t eat for a good 3 days and then I easted into it with saltines and gingerale!
Hope you are feeling better!!
I understand the need to sleep! I am feeling it right now… I tend to drink lemon juice in water with a few drops stevia, and things like tomato soup or vegetarian Indian dishes without the rice and eaten out of a bowl. Light eats ~ just like you. I wish I had some ginger tea here though, as tea I could taste would be so good right now 😉
I hope you are enjoying the holidays ~
