I knew it was coming. It was my fault. For the past three days, I’ve shorted myself on sleep and healthful food choices. So it wasn’t a surprise when I awoke with a cough today.

But it’s okay. Today I’m powering up! This cold virus is in for a fight. I’ve just downed my second cup of herbal tea, and I’m about to throw back another shot of echinacea. (As you can see, I’m putting that one off.) Chased that with a cup of oj with flax seed oil and a multi-vitamin.

Lunch was more collard greens and baked stuffed mushrooms (recipe to come). Snacking on pumpkin seeds. Cut back on workout this morning, but did more stretching, which is apparently good for the lymph nodes.

Washing my hands A LOT and trying my best to keep them away from my face. Sprayed house with a mixture of filtered water and lavender/tea tree oil.

Yes, I’m a nut. But I refuse to be sick!
