So I've been sick... And Week Two Results

Missed some posts and haven't worked out because I've been ill.  Not sure what- seems like a cold.  Maybe I got run down from taking care of Liam who wasn't sleeping because he was coughing his face off.  I just can't function on 5 hours of interrupted sleep for over a week.  So I've slowed myself down to make sure I let my immune system catch back up with life before I go working out again.  I think regular people can go work out with a cold and be fine as long as they can breathe and have the muscle strength to work out safely.  I honestly wonder if there's some truth in stress-illness (stress as in physical stress on your body) because I find I get physically in pain after intense workouts (like achy-flu feeling in my joints) or after 5ks.
Also I'm not posting what my weight was on Monday like I said I would.  I think it's a misread.  It read 152.6 which means I gained 2 lbs after a week of working out harder than I had in a long time.  So you would think I would have lost weight.  But I also had crap sleep for about a week and a half, so was that all cortisol build up?  I definitely felt inflamed and "fluffy".  My legs hurt so bad I could barely get up and walk around the house.  I wonder if it's cortisol because the next day (after I got to sleep for 7 hours) I had lost 2 lbs. I don't know enough about it all.  So anyway...

Food Diary 16 Jan 2013

No working out this week until I'm feeling better. I can't put any more stress on my immune system while it works on this cold.  Liam has a swim lesson tomorrow so maybe I'll walk on elliptical a little beforehand just to get moving a bit.

Breakfast
Banana
Coffee w cinnamon (pretty much from now on when you read "coffee" it's black w frothed milk and cinnamon.  I love the extra flavor it gives)
Half a clementine

Then I went to bed to get better and I wasn't that hungry

Lunch
2 pieces Paleo pizza (Applegate pepperoni, spinach, and black olives)
Coffee w honey

Snack
Celery sticks w sunbutter and some dark chocolate chips

Dinner
2 servings Ropa Vieja
