Any appetite-suppression bonus is countered with a one-two punch of congestion and snot down the back of your throat. Sniff, sniff, gak, gak.I'm feeling much better this evening- thanks in no small part to rest and plenty of fluids. My nose is a little raw, and for that I have to thank Brawny Paper Towels (my preferred target for blowing my nose- they're ultra-absorbent). And no, Brawny didn't pay me to write that but if they'd like to send me a few replacement rolls, I'll take them. Thank you very much.My last weigh-in was on Monday (4/7) and I was down a pound from the previous weigh-in.
