It was a lazy Sunday here. Toly had to be up and out early to drive his parents to New Jersey but he was kind and didn't make too much noise so I could sleep in. Okay, so maybe the Tylenol I chugged last night had something to do with my slumber, but either way, it was good to sleep.
I woke up hungry. No surprise there as I usually find myself quite hungry when I'm sick.
2 Nature's Path Waffles, 1/2 Mashed Banana, Berries, Dark Chocolate Almond Butter, Granola
Trying to eat lots of vitamin C so the grapefruit was more of an obligatory addition.
I actually started to feel a lot better after I ate and decided I wanted to try and get some kind of movement in before my burst of energy wore off. Body Pump would be the best choice because I wasn't feeling cardio in the least. I did take it pretty easy today and just allowed myself to get in a good workout without pushing myself.
When I got home, I showered and realized I was quite hungry again.
Is it me or do I always seem to crave protein after Body Pump?
I had tuna on the mind so tuna salad is what I made.
My Tuna Salad consists of 1 can of Chunk Lite Tuna, 2 TBL Greek Yogurt, 1 TBL Dijon, Celery, Carrots, Capers, Cabbage
I ate this open faced on a sandwich thin along with some grapes and Sunflower Basil Organic Crackers.
After lunch, I didn't have much energy left to do anything but lay on the couch, watch Christmas movies and sleep.
After a nice long nap, I woke up and started on dinner.
Toly would be home and I knew he would be hungry but I wanted to keep it simple since the game was on as well.
I decided to make a few pizza's and a big salad for everyone.
Spinach, Artichoke, Mushroom, Feta
Pepperoni, Bacon and Mozzarella
My plate (x 2)
I think I shall end this lazy day with a cup of hot coco with a side car of Tylenol.
Hope you had a fantastic weekend!!
