I'm fighting it off :)

I think I'm coming down with a cold. Everyone at work has had it. Customers have coughed in my face with it and I think it's finally happening to me.
But not without a fight!! Lots of water, hot drinks, and vitamin C. Oh and my neti pot that I hate having to use but I love how much it helps.

Today I popped a Richard Simmons DVD in and had a blast dancing. Good job no one can see me :)

I've made our spare bedroom into a workout room. Even put some cushioned interlocking mats down which makes it really nice on my ankle. Weights are waiting for me to get the o.k from the Dr to use them and then watch out!!

I started with some eggs, Canadian bacon, a slice of whole wheat toast topped with some home made pumpkin butter.  Simple but good.

Lunch included crackers, light herb and garlic cream cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, raspberry cream protein smoothie, a few chipotle tortilla chips (oops forgot them but ate a couple later)

Raspberry cream protein smoothie:
1/2c frozen raspberries
1/4c plain yogurt
1c coconut water
20g whey protein
sweetener of your choice

Then off to work! I won't be touching any baked goodies at work but I will have some of their chicken noodle soup and a small soup bun. I go grocery shopping after therapy tomorrow so there isn't a lot of choice :)  Besides it's good for a cold, right??

Hope you feel better soon! So many people are down right now with colds, must be the kids being back to school ;-).
Love your workout space, looks so inviting!

I'm fighting the cold too. Not really runny or anything - just feeling stuffed up and soooo tired. I *think* I'm winning - I sure hope so! Chicken soup sounds yummy - and I had to get going with the neti pot also. Thanks for the reminder!

I'm so glad nobody can watch me do yoga, pilates, kick boxing or zumba when I am at home. It's not always pretty! haha
