Welcome to Day 2 of 13 while I try to get my fitness goals together. We're early in to this, so I'll probably do okay and then get derailed mid-week by some York Girls or something. We shall see...
Breakfast was some surprise pseudoephedrine when I woke up with a runny nose, stuffy head, and the feeling that I had just swallowed some broken glass. I also had hot green tea with honey and a bunch of water. I thought about eating breakfast, but really wasn't in the mood for food.
Lunch was chicken soup, crackers, and a Greek yogurt. (I had originally planned on having chicken/cauliflower/salad leftovers from last night, but when you're sick, you eat soup.)
Snack was an orange and hot green tea.
Dinner was another recipe from Skinnytaste Fast & Slow, specifically Beef Ragu with Papparadelle. I also had a salad with tomato, cucumber, peppers, and carrots. And 2 caramels for dessert.
Some nice blogger over at Pinch of Yum made one of those fun "here's how you make this recipe in 60 seconds" videos, so here you go. It's actually really easy to make, as you can see:
For exercise, I went for a slow walk with a coworker, and did this yoga video and this kinda gross but helpful face massage video, which you will want to bookmark if you (a) like yoga and (b) are prone to sinus/cold/allergy stuff.
Despite being under the weather, we'll give the day a Kate. How is she flawlessly descending the steps in heels while in her third trimester?! I once tumbled down the stairs of a fancy Scottish hotel because I was wearing a backpack and carrying a suitcase and my balance was all off. And that was in flat boots! (Picture of stairs below picture of Kate.)
Maybe I should have carried a bouquet of flowers instead. I bet that's the secret.

| I'll tumble for ya... May I recommend NOT falling down these? Don't worry, I only had a skinned knee and a bruised ego. I was able to continue my tour of Scotland ("and here's where ANOTHER massacre happened...") without incident. |
