Patient, Patience, and Pepper

4 Aug

It’s official – Jason is sick 😦 . Despite the popular (and pretty true) rumor that I’m a terrible nurse, I have been pretty good to Jason this time around. Even Thea and Bailey, traditionally terrible nurse dogs, are getting into the act!

Breakfast

With no more toaster strudel in the house, I finally had a good breakfast this morning – a DK Protein Shake. I just bought a new jug, trying the vanilla this time. I definitely preferred it to the chocolate I got the first time around. The vanilla was much sweeter, and not-so-sweet chocolate just isn’t that yummy 😦 .

Lunch

I was at home again for lunch today, both so I could eat a healthy lunch and to take care of the patient who left work since he was feeling so yucky.

I made myself DK’s Mustard Crusted Halibut, which turned out better than the first time I made it. I had some roasted broccoli on the side.

Thanks to PB Fingers, I have started roasting broccoli. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought to do this before, but Julie’s blog and my new obsession with roasted asparagus have made me a convert.

Workout

Another pre-UNYBP workout under my belt. I felt much better today than I did Monday. I cruised through two circuits, although the squat thrusts and mountain climbers are still killers.

Dinner

Since I always beg Jason to eat naughty when I’m sick – and he always relents 🙂 – I figured I’d treat him since he isn’t feeling well. Conveniently, I received a Culver’s coupon via email today, so Culver’s it was! I tried their new Pepper Grinder Bacon ButterBurger. I only have one word to describe it – AWESOME!
