I'm still sick. Worse, actually. And it's annoying. Bill said I should stay home today. And after getting to work I realized I probably should have. But when you're consistently down a person at work every Friday, it makes you feel extra guilty if you have to miss one.
Anywho, the good thing about having this cold is that I don't have a lot of desire to eat. So I spent all day having healthy snacks instead of eating meals. Which was satisfying because it felt like I got to eat a lot, even though it wasn't a ridiculous amount.
I had a pear in the morning with a cup of tea, then a bowl of oatmeal with a cup of tea, then a cup of coffee, then about 2 cups of popcorn, then a fruit kebab and a cup of yogurt, followed by carrots and celery with hummus, and then a handful of almonds, a couple ounces of cheese, and a banana with peanut butter.
See, it seems like I got to eat a ton of stuff! But it was all healthy and the calorie count is estimated around 1400, which is right around where I should be.
Oh and here's the fruit kebabs I made:
There were more, but by the time I remembered to take a photo most were eaten. The theme of our work party yesterday was "finger foods." I wanted to bring something healthy but also fun, and what says "healthy fun" more than fruit on a stick? I mean we are in Minnesota after all.
I'm still feeling pretty exhausted, but managed to work in 13,500 steps and burn 3100 calories. Having the dogs around really helps me with my steps, but not so much with my sleep. Hopefully tonight we can sleep in a little! Maybe then I'll feel better and can make some positive steps toward wedding planning.
Until then, readers.
