Sore throat began yesterday, progressively worse over night, now ear is aching. Looking back at my records (yes, I am a dork, they are on Xcel), I haven't been sick since February, not bad. I plan to work out as long as I don't get completely under the weather.

I firmly believe I got sick because I was underdressed Sunday afternoon hanging out at Frick Park in Pittsburgh. I've read that you can't get a cold from being cold, but it only makes sense to me that if your body has limited resources, and part of those resources are being devoted to keeping your body warm, than less resources are available to fight an incoming sickness. Especially in a caloric deficit! Call me crazy, but I believe in some old wives tales. Today is refeed day, which is pretty convenient, because of another thing I believe, "Feed a cold to starve a fever." I think stuffing your face (and drinking tons of water, tea, etc) helps keep the cold from getting worse to an extent.
