17 Day Diet - Days 15 & 16

I didn't get yesterday's post up and really there was nothing to report so I am combining it with today's.  Yesterday I got up, got ready for work and headed out in the snow.  I got to work, felt like crap, attended a meeting, did a few things and left.  I could barely hold my head up.  This awful ear thing is just sticking around.  I went back to the doctor and my ear is infected.  He said he was pretty sure that I am still contagious, ordered me off work until Thursday, assured me that rest and finishing my medicine was all that would help.  COME ON!  Like I wasn't planning on finishing my medicine.  Seriously!  I want this to be over.  I need to get back to work and I need to get back to exercising.  Anyways I am trying to get my ear to pop.  I think that will help. Nothings working!  When I talk I feel like it is all in my head and I can't hear very well from that ear.  But I guess the good news is I have no appetite and I really can't taste the food I am eating all that much.
