Right now is the time to make sure you have no regrets of cravings while your taste is compromised. Gaining a few pounds right now isnt a bad idea for someone who is probably in tip top shape currently. During treatment, you probably will drop some weight so a few extra pounds will be a good thing to have going into this.
Best of luck this week. Keep a positive attitude and yes, stay active as much as you can.
