Well, the cough is better and yesterday I graduated to a sniffly, sneezy, nose like a faucet you can't turn off mess lol. This is awful... I can't remember when I've ever been sick this long. I am tired of it! I sure hope this is the last stage and that by tomorrow, or even later on today, I'll be feeling back to somewhat normal.

I did stop at the store last night and got stuff to make this: ohsheglows.com/2016/04/03/glowing-spiced-lentil-soup/ but by the time I got home I was too tired and had grabbed a frozen daiya pizza so I just heated that up instead. It wasn't too good, I ate a couple pieces and threw the rest out. Tonight I'll make the soup. Also going to make the copycat panera black bean soup. And got ingredients for a southwest tofu scramble and the OSG noodle bowl for later on in the week. I have made the peanut noodle bowl so I want to try the orange miso one. I have everything except the miso, can never find that in the regular grocery so I'll have to stop at the organic store.

I think I'm going to stay home from the office and work here today, and I'll go in tomorrow. That way I can nap if needed and get cooking and laundry done, and I have some files in my briefcase I can work on here at home.

Hi Sabine... good to see you. I have tried intermittent fasting... intermittently haha.

The OSG spiced lentil soup turned out great. The blog said she thinks it is better than her red lentil kale soup... I don't know if I would go that far, the red lentil kale is about my favorite soup ever, but this one is really really good too, and super easy to throw together. I'll definitely be adding it to my favorite soups repertoire. I also made the black bean soup, and threw together a pot of the red lentil kale since I had everything out and was chopping anyway. I will freeze some of the soups and the rest will make easy dinners this week.

Lia, all my fingers and toes are crossed for the sale to go through! A vacation sounds like just what the doctor ordered. I have had that goddess bowl bookmarked forever and haven't tried it either. How was it?

I did better today... this is the first time in weeks I've really felt okay. Other than my face is all red and chapped from blowing my nose about 10,000 times over the past few days lol. I have been packing lots of lotion on it all day. And I appear to be mostly over the cold. I'm going to bed early again tonight and hope that by tomorrow I'm really over it. I am so far behind, brought home a few files to work on tonight. I will try to get a half hour in on the treadmill tonight, kind of depends on how long my work takes me and how I feel. I'm pretty wiped out still.

B - raw fit, sprouted grain toast w/ a tsp of peanut butter, mandarin
L - raw fit, silk yogurt, apple
D - spiced lentil soup
probably have some melon or grapes a little later

I decided to add the raw fit protein to breakfast and lunch for the week, I feel like I need a little protein boost after all this sickness. I have no particular reason or basis for that belief, just going with it . I haven't been in the mood for salad at all, I'm sure that is partly the sore throat and all that. I'll get back to salads for lunch after this week and just do a raw fit in the mornings.

Hey ya'll... another decent day. I am getting tired though. I have pushed really hard this week at work trying to catch up after having that stupid cold for so long. Plus, tax time ugh.

B - raw fit and sprouted grain toast
