I hate to be all “woe is me,” buuuuut basically I feel like death. Fever, chills, congestion – the whole nine.
I woke up on Saturday with the worst sore throat of all time and knew right away it was going to be a bad one. Thankfully my parents had come up that day to see my new apartment, and I had already planned on going back to Pennsylvania with them for a few things.
Let’s just say a cozy coach, big screen TV, and doctor Mom definitely help make being sick a bit more bearable.
I’ve been getting a handful of requests for more “full day of eats” posts since starting LEAN14, so I had that scheduled to post today, and even though I’m sick - the blog must go on.
Breakfast - Koala Crisp cereal with sliced banana and coconut milk.
(Yes, Koala Crisp. I’m mature like that.)
Lunch – sandwich of mashed avocado and a fried egg on brown rice bread.
Snack – a big green smoothie.
Dinner – all day I was looking forward to having the slow-cooked pulled pork my mom made, but when dinnertime rolled around the thought of eating meat was just really unappetizing. Regular old rice and beans was all I could seem to stomach
Not so pretty, but it did the job.
Dessert – a few squares of dark chocolate.
Oh, and there was tea. Lots and lots and lots of tea.
For the most part, this is pretty standard for what I’ve been eating lately. Normal days usually include more veggies and more protein – both of which seem to be the most unappealing when sick…
What do/can you eat when you’re sick?










That egg and avocado sandwich looks delicious, and I’m definitely gonna have to try it this week! I don’t know what the hell I would eat if it weren’t for the blogs!
I was there not long ago. Stinks. Feel better.
Being sick is terrible, but it’s always nice to be home to recover!!! Nothing beats being taken care of by your mom.
I crave soup when I’m sick - specifically Tom Yum soup, or Pho!
For being sick, you still ate so healthy! Good job! When I’m sick, I always want ice cream lol
I hope you feel better soon!!! Whenever I’m sick I instantly require plain old Campbell’s chicken noodle soup and toast!

When you are really sick, it’s the worst feeling. When I’m sick,I drink warm milk, 2 oreos, 1 bowl of cereal. Then I get my blankets and curl up on the couch and watch my fave sitcoms and movies
mmm, avocado egg toast! hope you feel better!
Feel better, girl! Avocado egg toast is one of my favorite combos ever.
Aw, I hope you feel better soon!
feel better soon! Being sick is the worst!
Aw…It sounds like we had the exact same thing. I was down-and-out all weekend too and it. was. miserable. There really is nothing like a mom’s love when you’re sick. Mine came down to take care of me all day on Saturday and I can’t tell you how much I loved having her here!
I hope you’re feeling better, girly!
Absolutely gorgeous! Very interesting perspectives.
