Good news! I am feeling quite a bit better this morning. My tummy ache is gone for the most part and my achy body just feels tired.
After spending the evening eating Jimmy John’s subs and watching Babe on the couch with Ryan, I slept for nearly 10 hours.
This morning, I woke up and knew the gym wasn’t a good idea. (Just in case you’re interested, I previously wrote a blog post about whether or not you should work out when you’re sick.) Since the the simple thought of a workout exhausted me, I knew the gym was a no-go.
Instead, Ryan and I opted to take Sadie on a 20-minute walk right after we awoke.
When we got home, Ryan headed to the gym while I got a jump start on packing for our weekend in Ft. Myers.
About halfway through packing, I figured I should eat something even though my appetite wasn’t raging (clearly I’m still not 100 percent, because that is very unlike me).
A smoothie sounded like a nice and easy breakfast, so I busted out the blender and added the following:
- 7 frozen strawberries
- 4 ice cubes
- 1 1/2 c. almond milk
- 1 scoop All the Whey strawberry protein powder
- 2 pinches xanthan gum (for thickening)
After whirring it all up, I poured it into a bowl and ate it with a spoon to try and fulfill my craving for frozen yogurt from last night.
It was cold and creamy and delicious.
Now I gotta finish packing… and you know how I feel about that. 
I’m ready to hit the road!

Glad you’re feeling a bit better!! I feel like you’ve had some bad luck when it comes to being sick and weddings lately. Safe travels to Ft. Meyers!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better Julie! It looks like you guys have got plenty of sunshiney weather… I can’t wait till it’s like that here – I woke up to -19C this morning and tons of ice and snow. Can’t wait to bust out the flip flops when it all goes away! I hope you have a great day and good luck with the packing!
So happy you are feeling a little better! That smoothie looks delicious and could totally pass for frozen yogurt in a pinch 🙂
I’m glad that you are feeling better! 🙂 Good luck packing and have a great time at the wedding!
I’m glad you are feeling better for the weekend!! Sadie is so cute 🙂

Glad to hear you’re feeling better! SIAB always help! 🙂
You and Ryan are so cute. I think it’s great that you enjoy walks and workouts together.
Your smoothie looks delish! I think eating smoothies with a spoon makes it last longer. I find I savor it more that way.
Glad you’re feeling better! Happy packing!
Holy Smoothie Bowl!!
Enjoy your weekend escape!!
Glad you’re feeling better!! That smoothie looks amazing. 🙂
I’m glad you’re doing better! Have a great weekend!
Happy to hear you’re doing better. Feeling sick really puts a damper on your day! Have a safe trip!
Love ATW strawberry protein powder. I actually have a craving for some now.
Great idea! I think that would take care of my ice cream craving in a healthy way. I’ll give this a try this weekend!
Woohoo! Have fun!!
wow, that smoothie looks amazing!! Have a great trip 🙂 (p.s. i hate packing too)
Did you ask the guys at JJ’s to write his and hers on your sammies? That totally made me giggle — I used to work there.
Haha no but I loved it!
Your photos are gorgeous!!! I think that is the prettiest smoothie Ive ever seen 🙂
Aw thank you so much, Angela! Coming from you (a photo ninja) that means a lot!
Glad to hear you’re feeling better! The smoothie looks delish!
Glad you’re feeling better! And that smoothie really does look delicious. I need to get some protein powder!
Have a safe drive and glad you are feeling better!!!
I’m so jealous that you have a Jimmy John’s by you, I’m obsessed with their sandwiches! Have a great trip and hope you are feeling 100% soon 🙂
I agree with not trying to work out when you’re sick, it could just make matters worse–earlier on in my 1/2 marathon training I came home from work one day with a fever, so I took it easy for a couple days but then resumed training & ran 9 miles 3 days after having a fever…long story short: I got another fever which entailed Strep, a sinus infection, and double pink-eye…no fun!!
So glad you’re feeling better…it’s definitely a good idea to take a rest day! That strawberry smoothie bowl looks delish!
Hope you are feeling all better soon so you can enjoy your weekend!
I love Sadie, always, but especially in your photos today! Of course she has to be up holding hands with her mom and dad! She is one hilarious puppers. 🙂
