Reruns, reruns…

That’s all I’ve done today is watch reruns while falling in and out of sleep and accumulating snot and drool all over my face.  Yeah, I just admitted to both of those things. Hahaha…I’m sick alright!

I’ve been achy all day so I didn’t do much…I did get up to take my coworker to do some grocery shopping and baked a bit in the evening…but that’s about it.  I had contemplated doing a 4 miler but after every muscle hurt from just walking, I decided against it.  Better to be sick now and better sooner than being sick for my race in 16 days!  Yikes!

So what does someone who is sick eat? Let me show you, cause I know you’re just oh so interested (sorry if my sarcasm/humor/attitude is a bit off…I’m highly drugged up right now fighting that fever…)

Breakfast was kinda early…I rolled over my stash of TP at 7am to get some water, but oddly enough my legs weren’t working like they should have.  As soon as all my limbs were in working order, I finally settled on breakfast and blog reading:

  • 1/2C Kashi Go Lean Crunch
  • 1/2C H2H
  • Banana
  • Unsweetened Almond Breeze
  • Extra Cinnamon

I wasted away the morning checking toolboxes for work and then passing out and watching Ugly Betty, Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy…and settled on lunch:

  • Flat Out Rosemary Fold Over
  • 1 Egg and Two Whites
  • Light Laughing Cow
  • Apple with Cinnamon

Again more sleep…to basically make the day hurry up and pass and hopefully regain my consciousness that was currently very very blurry…For snack I felt like I was having something Evan would have as I've never stuck Jam/Jelly in my yogurt before!

  • 1/2C Oikos Plain 0% Greek Yogurt
  • Cinnamon
  • 2T Back To Nature Original Granola
  • 1T Crofters Jam

And this is how fabulous I have looked all day.  Yes, I went to the store in this mess:

I baked a bit after sleeping some more and settled on making another version of Mama Peas Vegan Energy Bars, using 1/2 of this Newman’s Own Organics Super Dark Chocolate Bar…

1001150011

And then making Happy Herbivore’s Blueberry Coffee Cake with the other half of the bar, except I jacked it up royally to fit my health and very less sugar fancies…

1001150012

I had to try a piece right out of the oven…that and I couldn’t help but want to taste that Super Dark Chocolate…so bitter!  Can’t wait to eat this again tomorrow and smother it in PB like I always do…

For dinner, instead of having the PB on that bread, I had it on another…Like Rudi’s Whole Wheat Bagel

1001150013

with a side of mango (this one was sweet, thank goodness) and two carrots…that I ate with ripped off pieces of the bagel since it had the luxury of having the PB on it…my carrots were jealous (omg I think I’m getting delirious).

I finally took a shower to clean up my gross self, along with almost passing out because apparently taking too hot of a shower will do that when your bathroom has absolutely no ventilation…and had a snack of a cup of kashi h2h…which I now need to buy more of because it’s almost gone…in a week.  Yeah…I have an addiction.

Ok, early bed time so I can get better asap! I HATE BEING SICK!

That yogurt snack is definitely something I'd be all over. Great baking! And I hate to admit it but I love it when I'm the kind of sick that kills my appetite because I use that as an excuse for ice cream all day

Get well soon! Sounds like a lot of good eats, and I love that you baked when you didn't feel good -- people think I'm weird when I say I'm sick and baking.

Mmm, the loaf looks great. Baking is lots of fun (especially when you add your own fun touches/"modifications").

I love that you put jam on your granola, such a brilliant idea I'm going to have to copy it. Your baking looks scrumptious, too. I love it all!

jenngirl said...

Aw feel better soon hun!

Breakfast+blog reading is the highlight of my day. And I finished off a box of H2H yesterday, I've concluded the boxes are not as big as regular cereal boxes ;) Yea, that's it.

I hope you feel better soon! A meetup would definitely be good once you feel up for it :) I'm in Gainesville right now but heading back to Miami on Monday. Tuesdays and Wednesdays this semester I have class all day, but Thursday I just have a morning class . . . so 5 days a week are usually pretty open for me!

I LOVE jam in my yogurt! When I was a kid my Mom use to make strawberry jam and always mixed it into plain yogurt for us as a snack. Mmmm, yum!

I think laying low today was probably a really good idea...
