I remembered to bring lunch today, but I forgot my cold medicine. I thought I would be okay, but I started paying for it by about 10am. I’m okay as long as I’m up and moving, but once I sit too long, I get crazy congested again. The joys of a desk job.
Even though I brought lunch, I really wanted something warm and spicy. Zoup! had vegan chili today which was just what the doctor ordered.
I don’t know what “soy protein” they used in the chili, but it was ridiculously similar to ground beef. So much so that I had a few moments of really questioning what I was eating. Whatever it was, it’s in my belly now.
For some strength training today, I did Week 1, Day 1 of Tina’s Carrots ‘N’ Weights series. I took notes before I left work on a handy dandy post-it note. I am awesome at drawing stick figures. Clearly.
I used a pair of 5 pound weights this time around and by the end of the third set, I was definitely feeling it! I headed to Zumba afterwards (and Andi joined me!). I had to stop after about 45 minutes when my knee started hurting a bit more than I’m okay with. My instructor generally mixes between Latin and hip-hop dances, but tonight was almost entirely Latin. It was just a little too much twisting for my knee.
I am notorious for buying jars of pasta sauce and not using it all before it goes moldy. Gross. I had a jar from the polenta bake I made last week, so I used the rest (plus the veggies on their last leg) for a pasta bake.
I’m running low on pasta so there’s like three different types of noodles in there. It works, they all taste the same!
Although I’m nowhere near 100% healthy, I’m definitely starting to feel like my cold might be on its last legs. Hallelujah! I think after another solid night or two of sleep and a few more doses of knock-off Airborne, I’ll be as good as new!

My old trainer would draw stick figures like that for me as reminders on how to do the workouts. I still do it when I don’t know how to do the motions.
