A Summer Cold

Another sad morning with hubby leaving. Hopefully he will be home to stay in a couple of weeks!

For breakfast, I had a bowl of cheerios with a sliced banana and milk for 4 points.

I came down with a cold or something on Saturday night. I was pretty exhausted this morning, so I went back to sleep for about an hour. Sleep is the best medicine! I woke up feeling more refreshed. One of the many things I love about working at home is that I can get up 15 minutes before I have to work and just sign in.

I sipped on Yerba Mate tea all morning for 0 points.

On my first break, I snacked on some fresh cherries for 0 points.

I always crave the same thing when I’m not feeling well and today was no exception. I had chicken noodle soup and PB&J for 9 points.

I also had a piece of Pineapple Angel Food Cake for 2 points.

On my last break, I ate some delicious black grapes for 0 points.

I also ate a couple of random snack crackers, I’ll count this as 2 points to be safe.

Once work was finally over, I ate an early supper: BBQ pork salad with feta, pecans and fresh pear tomatoes from the garden and cucumbers for 6 points.

Speaking of the garden, check out the blackberry that I picked yesterday! They’re HUGE and so sweet and delicious. There was one even bigger than this, but it was covered in spiders when I picked it up. EWWW! That’s a normal sized raspberry next to it.

And I finished up my supper with banana soft serve for 0 points.

That leaves me with 9 points left for the day. I’m planning on relaxing and watching some Ugly Betty and going to bed early to hopefully feel better tomorrow!

  2. I'm worried I might be getting a summer cold too. I've been coughing all day. I'm bummed because we leave for vacation on Weds so I am hoping I can kick it. Feel better soon!

  4. OMG that food looks great. What's up with summer colds. I've had not one, but two colds during the month of July. I was on vacation all last week and caught a cold the second day in. It's still hanging on and tomorrow I am back at work. Bummed am I. I hope your cold leaves much sooner. Those berries look soooo good.

  7. Your berries look AMAZING. I would have run screaming from the spiders. So jealous, too, that your tomatoes are ripe! Mine are still hard little green balls...
