Scratchy Throat

I woke up this morning with a scratchy throat. Not good. Don went and bought be some Airborne and Ricola cough drops to sooth the pain (probably drainage). I cannot get sick! I pushed through Body Pump today, I only walked for 25 minutes before hand, and not very strenuously because I didn't want to bother my knee again. Class was good except when the old lady plopped herself between me and the mirror at the beginning of squats. If you can't make it to class on time, don't put yourself in front of other people who were there on time and had strategically placed themselves in front of the mirror!! I went up a little on my back in weight and I think next time I'll add more weight to squats. All in all, a good class. Then I rushed home to get ready for lunch with my sister (and mom). Mexican food, and so not as good as La Paz, but I still ate all the really horrible for you food that was put down in front of me. Then I spent most of the nice afternoon laying on my bed, trying to rest so I don't get full-blown sick. I talked to Don and his friend Bill want's to meet tonight at Barley's to eat and watch the basketball games. Which is cool with me, but probably won't be the best food day I've had in a while. I'll try and stick to my guns and get a good salad.

Here is a plug for the new Shredded Wheat with Strawberries. It is freakin' delicious!! A little higher in calories than the honey nut shredded wheat, but only by like 10 or 20. Plus, there is only like 6 ingredients. How's that for natural? And it's tasty and delicious. If you like strawberries in your cereal, I'd give them a try!

I might give the cereal a try. I love those strawberries they've started putting in cereal. I even found some I can add separately to any cereal. I've never been a big fan of shredded wheat, but I think those strawberries could make anything good.

I have had a scratchy throat for over a week. First I thought it was a cold. But the fever and aches past in two days, and now it just a sore throat -- mostly in the morning, and then again right before I go to bed. Erin suggested it might be alergies (which never occurred to me, I thought that was always sneezing and runny nose). But maybe I will take an alergy pill (at night?) and see if I wake up feeling better tomorrow.

I too have never enjoyed a shredded wheat. But honestly, I have never enjoyed grape nuts or fiber cereals until the last two years when you pointed me in the direction of Grape Nuts trail mix, and I discovered Fiberone Honey clusters. Maybe Jennifer will let me try a bowl of hers!
