Wednesday was most definitely a long day that followed a long night. Being sick is no fun for me, but Munchkin being sick is just so sad. It breaks my heart to see him cranky, sniffly and just not himself. We are going to the doctor this morning to have him checked out. I don’t know if he really needs to be seen by the doctor, but I figured better safe than sorry, especially before a holiday weekend.
Even though I wasn’t feeling too hot yesterday, I had to spend most of the day out of the office. Since, I completely missed lunch time and left my lunch in the office, I made up for it with fro yo. Fro yo is considered a healthy lunch, right? I think I hit all the major food groups – rainbow sprinkles, cookie dough and strawberries. Not only was it a well balanced meal, it also helped my cold.
A friend of mine who was studying microbiology once informed me that even though everyone tends to go for hot tea and soup to help fight off a cold, cold things are just as effective
as hot ones in killing the bacteria that may be causing your cold. So fro yo = best cold medicine.

Since I missed out on my workout Tuesday night, I pushed myself to get it done last night. Even though I wasn’t feeling 100% it felt good to push through the workout and I felt pretty darn good afterwards. Workout B of the Best Body Bootcamp was circuit style and took me through 10 different moves for 40 seconds with 20 second rests in between.I downloaded the Seconds app to keep track my workout and I found it really effective.
The app counts down three seconds before the start end of each circuit, so you know when to peel your sweaty self off the floor and into position for the next move. The free version is exactly like the one you have to pay for, except it doesn’t have an option to save your workouts.
I really found it crazy that I actually worked out last night. I used to be the person who used any excuse possible to skip a workout, but now I try to push myself no matter what. There’s a theory that says it takes a person 21 day to form a habit, and it seems to be true in my case. I’ve been doing to Bootcamp for a bit over a month and my workouts have become a regular part of my day. I love it!
Time for me to run. I need to get my little man up and ready for his appointment. Wish us luck!
What are your go to foods when you’re feeling under the weather? If you work out regularly, how did you start the habit?
I did not know that fro yo could help a cold! Well, I guess I know what I will be eating today… 🙂
Aww, I hope you both feel better soon!!
Yum. Froyo is totally a healthy lunch! Especially with cookie dough. Hope you feel better soon 😀
Feel better! 🙂 Frozen yogurt is the best cure. Looks so yummy!
