So I have battled the case of the “icks.” Can’t seem to beat the achy, tired, throat thing.
With that in mind I started my day with a carrot juice inspired smoothie and my favorite Tazo tea:
I also decided to dig into my supplement cabinet for an extra boost:
Has anyone tried these babies? They give you quite a boost which I needed today!
Had a wonderful salad beast for lunch (inspired by the Ftnessista!):
It was delicious and followed by my home made vegan energy bar:
So in my effort to
- welcome in the long weekend
- get rid of this cold
I decided to have one of these after work:
You know red wine is supposed to have antioxidants!
I just had to have a glass……or two.
So by the time I got home I was not in the mood to cook for one.
Instead I made a green monster:
And am looking forward to my new reading material:
Tomorrow Pepsi and I are headed to Orange County to meet up with my parents for the day.
We have four glorious days off!
Are you off for the Presidents day holiday?
Nothing beats a cold like a glass of wine (or two)
Hope you feel better soon!
You have a great frickin camera, your pictures are always so clear. I went to meet you at happy hour but ended up at the wrong place clear across town…though it was a yollies!!! Whatever, just got back from eating mass quantities at our favorite japanese restaurant. Okay it used to be cause tonight we waited for 1.5 hours…what the fuck is that!
I brought all the fixin’s for green monster to work. didn’t make it. I dragged it all home so I could make it than . ran instead. Than I was going to make it later. ate a wrap instead. I guess I just wasn’t feeling it!
your juice makes me thirsty! love it.
kick that cold in the butt!
I skipped the wine, and headed for a shot of tequila. OH MY. bad week go bye bye!
haha
we have a nice long weekend planned. not a lot to do, but a lot of days off. Just the way I like it!
