Tuesday I had a scratchy throat plus a runny nose and yesterday I was so fatigued I spent the afternoon on the couch. I can’t say I’m really really sick, but something is off. It takes a lot for me to lay on the couch and do nothing but that’s what I did. I didn’t use my computer, I didn’t watch TV, I just rested.

I’m happy to say I am feeling better today thanks to healthy snacks, vitamins and rest. Clearly I got a little bit of whatever cold Ava was fighting but at least it wasn’t anything too serious.

My plans to do Insanity Max30 have gotten pushed to the side this week. I did one of the workouts this week and that’s it. Mentally I had told myself I wasn’t going to skip any workouts but I have learned that listening to my body is more important.

I have some 30th Birthday plans this weekend and I would much rather feel 100% then do a workout and have myself get more run down.

I woke up this morning to more snow. Apparently winter doesn’t want to let up. I guess one extra snow day and another day to rest is what I need. I am still waiting to hear if the YMCA is open and if classes are on!

In case you were wondering, last night I was craving chocolate. It’s a pretty normal craving right?

Instead of grabbing some ice cream at the grocery store I decided to try a Chocolate Pudding recipe using Shakeology, Avocado, Banana, & Almond milk.

Why have I not tried this sooner?? I know the ingredients sound random but it was creamy & chocolatey. I’m all about it and I love that it has healthy fats and healthy ingredients.

It completed my night on a good note

So this post ended up being about nothing besides letting you know that I listened to my body and have rested as much as I could besides of courses having my classes to teach. Sometimes its okay to kick your feet up and rest. You can’t go 110% 24/7 it just doesn’t work!

When you start to feel run down, do you take the time to rest? 

Have you ever tried Pudding with avocado?
