Getting better and Loving my Liquids :)

Posted on by Naomi

Heya loves. Thank you so much for your kind words wishing me to get better! I think it worked because I feel 80% better. I say 80 because I am still not 100% but definitely better!

Lots of this has been involved in my healing. My lips are OUT of control Chapped. I have been slathering on the DCT.
————–
I woke up at 8 this morning and went to bed at 10 last night. For all the mathletes out there thats 10 hours of sleep!! I Needed it SO bad! I had a few bites of a banana and hit my NEW gym! Which I was really excited to try out! It is a 30 second (no joke) walk from my apartment so no car needed for that commute! I LOVED IT!! It is so clean and its big but small, meaning all the equipment I need is in so close together, yet there is so much room, if that at all makes sense. There are jump ropes and kettle bells and lots of gadgets all over the place so I can keep my HR up while I do my weight training which I love.
Looks like cookies and cream doesn’t it? Ok its oats, you got me, but it was just as good as cookies and cream ice creammm. The usual and PB on the bottom!!
Cafe in my new Heart mug!!
I got Jay Robb Protein Samples!!!! I am SO PSYCHED to try these! I have heard amazing things about Jay Robb and I finally got to try some!

I tried the brown rice protein first!
  • Vanilla, Chocolate Strawberry
  • Eco friendlier bags: sizes 24 oz, 12 oz, single serving packets.
  • Silky-smooth texture!
  • Low-heat processed!
  • A complete protein from sprouted whole-grain brown rice!
  • 24 grams of protein per serving!
  • Easy to mix!
  • Made with stevia!
  • Ingredients:  Whole-grain sprouted brown rice protein concentrate, natural flavor, stevia.
  • 1 Jay Robb Brown Rice Protein packet
  • handful Raspberries
  • 1 C skim milk
  • ice/water
  • 1/2 banana

Verdict? DELICIOUS! the protein was ALOT like Sun Warrior protein that I talked about here
Can’t wait to try the rest of the packets!
Chicken noodle soup for lunch!
Turkey wrap on whole wheat pita with spinach, hummus, red onion (the spiciest one ever!!) Delish lunch that I could acutally taste today!
Lots of fluids including some Awake Tazo Tea with honey. It was so soothing!
Gingerberry Kombucha! I am obsessed with these! too bad they are 3.50 a bottle!!! This flavor was awesome but I think I like the Cosmic Cranberry a little better. This will surely help my immune system with all the healthy enzymes, right?
If you look closely there is some weird thing floating in there, but I just try to ignore it and drink away!!!
Afternoon snack. 1/4 C oats microwaved PLUS
Dollop Greek yog =
Amazingness. Thank you Janetha You are a goddess. Try this now. The warm oats with cool yogurt makes for a gasmic creation

Do I dare? Yes Crazy Richards had to join the partayyy.
Dinner was a salmon wrap (packaged salmon mixed with cottage cheese, sprouts, tomatoes, baby spinach in a wrap) I also had some soup that was unpictured, but you all know what soup looks like!

-thats all I got for today! it is not 10 and I am sleeeeeppppyyyyyy as can be!!

I want to do a Q and A sesh, so throw your questions at me! Anything about my food, recipes, work, past, relationships, you ask me I will try my best to answer!

  • What is your new favorite addition to your sandwiches?? mine would be sprouts!!!!! I have always loved them but I am so into them lately
  • Have you ever had a FML moment?? (go to that website if you don’t know what FML is)? Today I had one….I showered at work in the locker rooms and forgot my towel. I was left there air drying in the shower stall it was pretty awesome
  • Favorite Soup? Mine currently is good old fashioned chicken noodle!!

Peace and Love

    I have been on a big jalapeno kick on any kind of sandwich I get lately, I love it!

    FML Moment? How about FML day? Which consists of today….waking up lately, falling in mud while taking dog out, barely catching the bus, spilled coffee all over myself then being nosy at work into one of my co-workers whereabouts and got my a** handed to me by my boss. That was all before my computer just decided to stop working mid day. Happy Wednesday to all!

    I am trying to get off of creamy soups but have really been diggin tomato basil, I am attempting a pumpkin tofu soup this wknd!

    i always <3 your wrap creations
    and BALLER workouts!
    fav new addition?! COTTAGE CHEEEEEEESE!

  4. moretolifethanlettuce says:

    lol you are brave to drink that kombucha despite the floater. oh no i would cry if i had to air dry in the shower, it’s so cold once you turn the water off! my fave addition to sandwiches is hummus. or sliced apples. i need to start adding greek yog to my oats, i always see janetha do that! glad you’re feeling better today, hope you get to 100% tomorrow!

  5. Molls says:

    ahhh feel better soon girl! haha that is so funny about your towel-less-ness ah I think I would freak out!

    My favorite wrap addition would be hot sauce or ricotta cheese (new favorite). My favorite soup: black bean all the way!

    Wow I usually put my PB on the top of my oatmeal.. maybe sometime soon I will make it like yours!

  6. Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says:

    so when you get to the Jay brown rice, i want your thoughts on his vs. the sun warrior. i take it you’ll be trialing vanilla against vanill, choc against chocolate.
    I think that sun warrior choc is better, period.
    i think that jay vanilla is like a french vanilla and sun warr is just “vanilla”. both good.

    i think sun warr is slightly higher quality and i can feel the positive effects better/more but then again, it could be placebo.

    full on details when you get to it, please my love 🙂

  8. Karin says:

    I have planned to make a goat cheese and sprouts sandwich for dinner tonight and am already excited. 😉 I love me some sprouts!!
    Sigh.. still haven’t tried those famous oats with yogurt..

  9. MelindaRD says:

    That is great you can walk to the gym. I love sprouts. I don’t have a fave addition to sandwiches right now since I really don’t eat sandwiches here. FML moment, wow, at least 1 every day I am sure, but I can’t think of a good one now, go figure.

  14. kaysnuttyoasis says:

    i admire you for eating so healthy while being sick. I can never stomach fruits or veggies when im ill.

    My whole foods just got that protein powder brand and I can’t wait to try it!! yum 🙂

    dont’ hate me but my favorite soup is the broccoli & potato soup from campbells. its just so good.

  16. Julie says:

    HOLY JAY ROBB!!!!!!!!! ugh i’m so insanely jealous its ridiculous! its seriously the best ppowder ever especially the strawberry 🙂 mmmm i wish i could afford it on a daily basis but i suck and so does my wallet haha so i can’t poooo.

    mmmm i love tomatoes in my wraps and salsaaaa it gives the juciest flavor. ew gross that i said that.

    the gym next door sounds like a dream come true!! lucky you and those kettlebell swings into rows ugh i want to do them!

  20. One Healthy Apple says:

    Liquids, especially yummy ones will get you better soon! I love oats with yogurt- I did it a while back but forgot about it until it got all fashionable in the blog world!

    I’ve never tried Jay Robb, but want to because it sounds less scary than what I have.

    FML? Taking a train for an hour to work and forgetting my laptop at home. Oh- going to the gym without my workouts pants? How about coming out of dinner to find a car towed? I’ve had lots of them!

  21. Missy says:

    Hope you are feeling better! Glad you like your new gym and that it is so close! MMM cookies n cream oats..I should attempt that haha. I am loving the yogurt in my oats too! Favorite sammy addition is avocado!

  22. Julie says:

    Oh man, I used to be obsessed with that lip balm.
    I tried kombucha once and shook it up before I drank it. I thought I needed to because of all the creepy things at the bottom. Big mistake…it exploded everywhere and to make matters worse, I hated the taste.

    I put sprouts on every sandwich I make! Tomatoes too. Forgetting a towel sucks!! Oh man.

  23. RamblingBabushka says:

    Favorite addition to sandwiches is avocado for sure. LOVE the stuff!

    WORST FML moment was when I was (very rudely) talking about a coworker in an email and then accidentally sent it to her. HA! I can laugh about it now, she no longer works here. That was a BAD day!

    Clam Chowder!!!

    Love your blog lady!

  24. findinghappinessandhealth says:

  25. Mo Diva says:

    poor sickie-poo. at least you are getting your tastebuds back and i hope you continue to feel better!

  26. girlmeetshealth says:

    Jay Robb is the MAN when it comes to protein powder! Definitely my favorite. My favorite is the vanilla rice PP.

    Oh oh, I love Q&A!! Ummm….what is the best vacation you’ve ever been on?

  27. Gina says:

    Glad to hear you are feeling better! Sleep is so important when you are sick, so good for you for getting 10 hours. And, I love that heart mug, very cute.

    Favorite soup: tomato barley OR butternut squash.
    Favorite sandwich topping (other than cheese) pickles! Dill pickles, not sweet. I like sprouts too.

  28. sophia says:

    Yay! 80% is better than nothing!
    Haha, you remind me of Mimi, who is obsessed with Jay Robbs.
    Oh, and my favorite addition to sandwiches is grilled fruits, or caramelized onions. And OMG I made the most amazing soup today!!!

  29. Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says:

    I’ve heard those Jay Robb products are great. Might have to check them out…

    I’m obsessed with lentil soup. Holy yum. Although I recently got a recipe for sweet potato and black bean chili that I might have to break out during the snowstorm this weekend.

  31. Michelle (Snacks and Field) says:

    Ohh man, get better soon! It looks like you’re taking pretty good care of yourself 🙂

    And those protein powder samples look awesome! I’m sure they would be great to bring after a workout! Fav Soup is so hard- I love Panera’s Black Bean, And my dad’s split pea soup…AMAZING.

  33. Katie ♥ says:

    Jay Robb Protein Powders rock!!! Oh you are so lucky girl!!!!!!

    I am glad you are feeling better!!!

    Glad you love your new gym too, how sweet to walk to it right? I walk to mine too and love it!!

    My favorite new addition to wraps in alfalfa sprouts!!! So yum!! I put them in salad too!!

    Have a great night ! xoxo

  36. homecookedem says:

    Glad you’re feelin’ better!!

    WOAH, you got a lot of Jay Robb love!! 🙂 ENJOY!!

    I had a FML moment today when I got home to see our dogs had gotten into the trash… again. Not what you want to come home to after a rough day of work… 🙁

  37. Sunny says:

    naomersssssss! sounds like you had lots of sleep which is prob why you’re feeling better! 🙂

    your fml moment sounds horrible, something i would do too though, lol..i can’t think of one i’ve had recently.. hmm..that’s a good thing i guess!

    nice workout too despite being sick 😀

  39. Kelly says:

    Ooo now I want cookies and cream. Glad you are feeling better and love your new gym. I took a kettlebell class last year and I need to incorporate some of those moves into my strength work outs now, thanks for the idea!

  40. inmytummy says:

    I wish the Kombucha didn’t have the floaties in it. I always think I should strain mine.

    Favorite sandwich addition is avocado. Favorite soup is vegetable.

  41. eatingRD says:

    so glad you are feeling better, that’s the worst 🙁 what a great gym sesh, especially since it’s so close! Favorite sammie addition is hummus and smooshed avocado 🙂 and minestrone soup Hope you get to 100% soon!

  42. Janetha says:

LOVE YOU AN WILL MISS YOU!

  43. chrystad72 says:

    hey girl!! hows the move in going? Hopefully going well! My favorite addition to sandwhich has been cucumbers. I love something really crunchy and fresh in my sammies! So good! My favorite soup is jsut a good ol’ fashioned veggie soup. So good. Throw in some beans in there and perfect-o! Have an awesome night!

  46. K from ksgoodeats says:

    YAY Jay Robb – that man knows his protein powder! Glad you’re feeling better! Keep drinking out of that heart mug, anything that cute would make one feel better 🙂

    Favorite soup – black bean!

  47. traynharder23 says:

    i don’t eat sandwiches nowadays, but i really like adding sprouts in there.
    FML moment: i got home from work..and decided to check my phone for messages. FML- i left it at work and hadto drive back to get it.

    black bean or chili! and kombucha…freaks me out! i don’t like floaty things!

    I KNOW— to much peanut butter! i know.- no stains? REUSE!! i totally amd going to fly through this pb!

  50. Erica says:

    Jay Robb rocks my socks off! I haven’t tried his rice protein…but I haven’t been a big fan of rice protein in the past (it tastes a little chalky to me). When I wasn’t a veg, I tried his whey and it was very good but my FAVORITE is the egg white! Creamy and yummy- its like ice cream with some milk and ice mixed in!! The strawberry is my favorite but all of the flavors are good. So glad to hear you’re loving your new gym- thats awesome that it is so close. I hope you feel better chicky! Favorite addition to sandwiches?? Hmm probably hummus. Favorite soup- homemade vegan asparagus or black bean! YUM!
