This morning after my workout I was looking through facebook and saw this on a page that a friend of mine LIKED...This is SO wrong! The company Body by Vi stole her pictures and used them for their own advertising...
As I said, my head is clear but I have a wicked sore throat. You know how much I like water and, well, today, it's not tasting all that great, and it's not going down as well as it normally does. It's quiet time here in the daycare(1:30pm) and I have only drank 6 cups so far. Normally I have had 9+ by now. This is real time blogging now...it is now 4:49pm and still I am only sitting at 6 cups of water...blah...it's very hard to swallow...as silly as that sounds, it's the truth. But I will get through today with MAYBE some sorbet or frozen yogurt later after dinner...MAYBE, just to ease the soreness. Don't let a cold become an excuse for not working out or eating poorly. I did this in the past, and that is what got me overweight, NO, OBESE! I will not let that happen again. Even if you do a mini workout or go for a walk. I know when you are sick, you feel like the world will never be the same again. At least that is how I felt yesterday. Just get plenty of rest and you will be back to 100% before you know it. I'm glad this happened to me this week and not next. With the kids starting back to school and my husband and I doing the Kickstart, being sick is the last thing I would need.
Today's food...
Breakfast: Vanilla Greek Yogurt with Graspberry Jelly/Orange
This is probably something I should have eaten ALL day. The silky smooth texture of the yogurt was great my sore throat. And the Vitamin C from the orange will kick this cold in the butt.
Snack: Protein Shake x 2
Shake # 1 - I'm not naming this shake because it wasn't just a mixture of things and it didn't taste that great so I didn't finish it. It was that bad, I didn't even take a picture of it.
Shake # 2 - No name shake #2 Again tasted awful and my son tried some, he liked it but I dumped the rest down the sink.
Maybe I just wasn't into drinking a shake. Oh but I was! I wanted something cold and soothing to the throat. But instead of wasting more protein powder, I just waited until lunch to eat again.
Lunch: Sweet Potato Loaded with Ground Chicken and Cottage Cheese
Snack: French Onion Cassava Chips
Dinner: Cream of Broccoli Soup
We went out for dinner tonight and I felt like having soup. The only soup that they had was this Cream of Broccoli soup. It was nice because it wasn't heavy and full of cream. It was nice for my sore throat too.
We stopped at the grocery store to stock up on some food to take on trip to the beach tomorrow. I picked up some frozen yogurt to help the final stages of my sore throat. I added a tablespoon of peanut butter to help bring my calorie count up. It was good, but I don't really think it helped much.
I'm off to bed now as I want to get up and get a workout in before we head to the beach. I started some food prep for tomorrow. Some sweet peppers for snacks, fresh watermelon and put some salad in one of my 6 Pack Fitness Bag containers. Pack CLEAN, eat CLEAN! Looking forward to some fun at the beach.
Until then...Stay Strong!
Good night
