An easy way to lose 5 pounds

I lost 5 whole pounds yesterday -- that's right, in one day! Can you believe it??? I had the worse case of the flu I think I've ever experienced in my life.

As "exciting" as it was to see a lower weight on the scale, I don't know that I'd necessarily volunteer to have the flu to lose weight, ever. In reality, that weight loss isn't technically valid. It's mostly water weight, and I'll naturally gain it back over the next week as my body recovers and I can keep foods and fluids down. I can't wait to get my energy and strength back!
