Well Operation Antioxidant was a complete failure.
I woke up feeling WORSE than I have felt all week. I guess two glasses of wine does not cure a cold!
First thing I did before having my cup of coffee:
was call Mom and Dad to cancel my trip down South. Maybe tomorrow I will go.
Then I came downstairs and made myself an amazing bowl of oats. I think oats can make anyone feel good. I started the oats cooking and cut up some bananas and apples:
Added them in to the mixture (oats and cinnamon):
This little one was sad none of the apples dropped to the floor:
Oh holy goodness-Look at my bowl:
I added more bananas on top, flax seed, a bit of agave, almond milk and almond butter.
Does anyone else enjoy oatmeal pics as much as I do?
If you do you MUST check out this Tribute to Oatmeal page on Kath’s Blog.
After my breakfast and shower I put on my new shirt:
Got it at my favorite Wine Bar.
and new ring:
And then headed out the door for some fresh air. Gosh I wish I could run or ride my bike.
Pepsi and I walked around the neighborhood nice and slow and then stopped in at our favorite bike shop on the way back home.
We just got home and I made a “super cold-fighting” shake for lunch. This is what it had in it (plus spinach):
Now I am going to sit outside in the glorious, warm sun with a cup of tea and my new book (The China Study).
Does anyone know if drinking herbal tea is as good as drinking water?
Hope you all have a great day! Enjoy the sunny weather if you are reading from the West Coast.
i would think that herbal tea gives you the same benefits – and then some, because they contain antioxidants!!!
I think so …. I drink predominately hot herbal tea and not much in the way of a glass of water these days. if it’s caffeinated….not so much.
LOVE that shirt! Very cute!
Hope that you are feeling better soon
I’m so sorry that the wine therapy didn’t work. Maybe you will have better luck with your super cold-fighting shake. I had the same thoughts as actorsdiet and Cindy about the herbal tea being as good as water but I still think a few glasses of pure water is something to strive for. Get well soon.
Hey, the bling has to be helping the cold, right? My understanding on the tea debate is, if it doesn’t have caffeine you are in the clear to drink drink drink!
Feel better! I might be too tired to hike tomorrow after my ride, but give me a call if you’re up for it.
Aww…I hope you’re feeling better soon! I hate being sick.
Your oats look outstanding. I never think of adding a splash of milk on top, but I love how it looks so I’m going to try that for myself next time too.
Pepsi is adorable as always. Such a cutie.
I LOVE that t-shirt.
