Sickly

Well, I woke up this morning and my throat was really really sore. I felt awful and I couldn't talk very well. I was concerned about how much help I'd be at work so I called Matt and he told me to stay home. I was kind of bummed - I love working, but honestly I would not have been a good worker today.

I knew it was probably a bad idea, but I went to the gym in the morning. I figured even if it made me feel sicker, better to just do it in the morning and then spend the day recovering. I couldn't just not do it. I'm worried enough that my workouts will take a hit when I'm home this weekend, I've gotta keep cranking during the week. So, I went and biked and did the elliptical. On my way out, I stopped in the Poolside Cafe in the AFC and grabbed a mango smoothie! It was soothing on my throat and was only 90 calories! I drank that along with a granola bar, followed by hot chamomile tea. Anything to get me feeling better. I laid around most of the afternoon until Clay got home from work. He fixed me a little plate of my Japanese leftovers for lunch, which worked out great cause I had already had the smoothie. He finished up the leftovers from his potato creation the other night and topped it off with the remains of the corn!

Then the darling boy made our next guacamole, unloaded the dishwasher, and cleaned up the kitchen a bit. It was very nice of him. He left and I continued just kind of hanging out all evening. Since I had kind of been snacking all day and he was working, it didn't make sense for me to cook a meal for just myself. I also didn't feel like leftovers, so my solution was to make a delicious sandwich! It was almost identical to a sandwich we make at GH. I had vanilla almond butter, banana, granola, and honey on Honey Whole Wheat bread. The only difference is we use our Groovy Granola at the bakery, and I had Cville Cluster on hand at home. I actually prefer the Groovy because I like the dried fruit and nuts in it, but the Cluster is good, too. I ate it with a Chobani Greek yogurt. I actually prefere Fage when it comes to Greek yogurt, but the Chobani was on sale when I bought it. I ate my favorite flavor, pomegranate - there are seeds in it! It was a nice lil dinner - Bailey even ate a little piece of bread with banana on it!

That's all for today! Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.
