Three for Friday

1. I haven't felt good since...Sunday I think.  Feels like forever at this point.  I finally got the cold that my kids had over Christmas and New Years.  They are all healthy so I guess my body decided it could get sick now.  It isn't too bad really just can't get rid of the cough.  There were a couple of days where I lived on cough drops.  Made the coughing better, but didn't make my tummy very happy. 


2.  Yup, had a pretty craptastic run today.  No energy.  Maybe I should have waited a couple more days. Such a bummer since today is really beautiful out.  Sun is shining, temps are in the thirties and the wind after trying to blow us off the face of the map is pretty minimal really.  My dog was having a bad run day too as about 2.5 miles in I noticed he was limping.
I tried to hide it mom by running behind you.


 I took it as a sign and we turned around and headed for home. I guess we both need more rest.  My legs were also a little mad I think about having done a ZWOW workout before I ran.  It was too bad really.  It was such a nice day out.

3.  After hearing so much about it EVERYWHERE for the past couple of months, my husband and I decided to try a Paleo/Primal type diet.  I think it would be a lot easier to tell how it was working if we both didn't have colds right now.  I have noticed less bloating and am loving all the fresh veggies I have been piling on.  I have tried a couple of pumpkin and sweet potato pancake recipes for breakfast, nothing that I love yet.  It does take a bit more meal planning and prep. I am amazed at how many websites are devoted to Paleo.  That helps a lot!  I will let you know more on how I feel on it when this cold it gone.

  7. Sorry that you got sick, I hope that you feel better soon. All of my co-workers are sick and I am praying that I don't get it from them. I hate being sick. :/

    Sorry about your run too. What is wrong with little man???

    Good luck with the diet. A lot of people eat paleo and are successful with it.

  8. sorry that you're sick! This week I'm vegan, so kind of like paleo. Once I stop what i'm doing, i think i will do paleo (slowly adding in meat as to not upset my stomach) If you're on pinterest, there are soooooo many delicious recipes to experiment with!

  9. Ugh, hope you kick the funk soon :(.

    Intrigued by the paleo switch - was there something that motivated you to try it?

  10. I know they say you can run with a cold (the whole "above the shoulders" idea), but that doesn't mean it feels good! Sometimes rest really is good.
    I have a hard time completely sticking to the Paleo foods, but I know my body feels better when I eat very minimal amounts of dairy and grains.

  11. Sorry that you are still sick. It was SO WARM here! 45 degrees but the wind was blowing, still it felt great.

  12. Sorry you're sick and I hope it goes away soon! I haven't tried a paleo diet, but I do try to eat as many fruits and veggies as possible. I am a vegetarian and am slowly cutting out dairy as well. For the past couple years I'd only had yogurt, cheese and butter (only on garlic bread or popcorn) as dairy. It's been over a week with no dairy at all (as far as I know...I'm not counting in ingredients for some things- not that picky yet :) )
