I think being ill on a weekend is one of the worst-possible things to happen. Weekends are when I run all my errands, get tons of things done and have my best workouts. But it doesn’t look like anything is going to get done today. I have a terrible sore throat, and I’m extremely congested.
I missed day 4 of the 30-day challenge. Paul had a basketball game last night, but I was too embarassed to snap any photos. So here’s my photo from last night:
Tea!
Chamomile is my favorite tea, and it’s one of the only things that helps my throat feel better. I drank a ton of it yesterday. Here are some of my eats from Friday:
Breakfast on March 4
I had an english muffin with a couple smears of Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter. Wow, that PB was seriously delicious. But my love for cinnamon won out, and I still think the Cinnamon Raisin PB was better.
Main lunch meal on March 5
There’s a ton of random things in this lunch. I started with quinoa and black beans. Then I added cherry tomatoes and red bell pepper. I also added a couple green olives, and finally topped it all of with some salsa and hummus. Lots of very different tastes, but one fiber-filled meals.
Peach Chobani!
I’m really starting to enjoy Chobani’s fruit-flavored yogurt. The dark cherry was bomb, and peach was also tasty.
Now, I’m going to make this day 5 challenge quick so I can get back to resting. We’ve got a busy night, and I’m still debating whether or not I feel well enough to go volunteer for another AHEPA Marrow Basketball Tournament event.
Day 5 – A picture of your favorite memory
My 21st Birthday
Prom - May 2006
This was before Paul and I dated. I stayed up the entire night of prom! We rented villas in Wisconsin and pretty much partied all day and night! It was amazing. Don’t judge the earrings + the hoodie!
Lollapalooza 2006
Lollapalooza was the most fun I’ve ever ever ever had. We got there around 11 a.m. and left about 12 hours later. We saw tons of amazing concerts, including my favorite band of all-time: the Red Hot Chili Peppers!!!
Now I’m off to attempt a mini-elliptical session. Wish me luck! I’m seriously praying I feel better in time for the tournament, which starts on Wednesday. I’m going to have to be running around between all the sites, and being sick would make things a million times more stressful.
Have a great Saturday everyone!
What do you drink when you have sore throat? What’s your favorite memory? Favorite peanut butter flavor?

Hope you feel better! My mom recently told me to warm up some brandy with a little honey and lime juice…and drink it.
I tried it when I couldn’t stop coughing and it worked for that—didn’t taste good though!
Thanks for the idea!
I like to drink Green Smoothies when I havea sore throat! I’m so sorry that you don’t feel well!!! Get better soon! 🙂
My favorite Peanut Butter Flavor is straight from the jar! 😉 Any kind works for me! 🙂

Poor you hope you feel better! I usually take throat sweets and guzzle the water. Nice memories, bless the hoodie 😉
Awwww, feel better! I’m sorry you are sick. I hate having a sore throat, I also down a whole bunch of tea when I have a sore throat. Of course, I down a whole bunch of tea, always… Haha. Anyways, feel better soon!!!
I love chamomile tea too!! It makes me sleep like a baby.
I usually drink lots of cold drinks like cold water and tea when my throat is sore, I know that’s the opposite of most people, but a doctor once told me that cold drinks actually kind of numb your throat and temporarily reduce the soreness, so I have done that ever since, it works!
Sorry to hear you’re feeling yucky, feel better soon! 🙂
Aww girl sorry you are feeling ill, hope you get better quick!! Cinnamon Raisin PB is my all time favorite too. I’ve become a little obsessed on putting it on my oats lol
I hope you feel better! I always end up sick on the weekends…that’s how life is, lol

I have never tried any crazy pb flavors, but am dying to try the cinn swirl one! it looks so good, besides the fact i am in love with cinn raisin bagels!
I always drink tea and lots of water! i LOVED the black cherry chobani yogurt. my favorite no doubt!
Aw, I am so sorry you aren’t feeling well! That is such a bummer :(. PS… loooove the hoodie look! I STILL wear hoodies, they are just so comfy! And good luck with the Tourny on Wed!! Hope you feel better, and SOON!!!
You need to feel batter already!!!! I drink massive amounts of tea when I have a sore throat!! My favorite flavor PB is White Chocolate Wonderful!! I go through it like its going out of style!
Hope you feel better! I prefer plain peanut butter, but dark chocolate dreams is amazing as well!
Feel better! My best cure for a sore throat is to suck on a lemon. I know that sounds crazy, but it always works for me.
I really hope you feel better soon! I hate being sick.
I love all kinds of peanut butter! Way too obsessed. I went to a PB exhibit today and it was amazing 🙂
I always drink tea when I’m feeling sick. It’s seriously perfect. I never drink tea except for then…I love peanut butter-every flavor suits me well. 🙂
Ah, hope you feel better girl!! Adam has been sick this weekend too–so we’ve been staying in!
When I have a sore throat, I’m all about Emergen-C and tea!!
im currently drinking chamomile tea and I LOVE it soo soothing. For pb I love plain old crunchy preferably TJ’s organic salted piled on top of some dark chocolate yum!
That sounds delicious!
Aww I shall pray that God will give you strength Soph! 😀 And that cinnamon PB always sounds so delicious, I hope to try it soon <333
Thanks Ellie!
Aww feel better soon girl!! I drink soup like it’s my job when I’m ill!!
My fave PB is definitely Darck Chocolate Dreams, but I’ve never had the cinnamon one! It sounds SO good! 😀
Feel better!! Figures that it happens on the weekend, right?
I like to drink tons of tea when I’m sick. DCD is definitely my PB of choice, but I’ve been wanting to dry the cinnamon raisin one. I’ve even heard there’s a maple one that sounds awesome, but I can’t find it anywhere! I even looked in Vermont and couldn’t find it, and if there’s no maple flavor in VT, then where oh where could it be?
ahhh feel better! iam still sicky with a headcold that wont go away!! AHHH… i LOVE hot water with lemon- it cures my sore throats for a period of time!!
I hope you feel better too!
sucks SO BAD to be sick on the weekend! Feel better soon!
Thanks!!
I hope you feel better soon! Rest up and drink lots of tea. I like to steam lemonade and add some tea in there–soo good!
Thanks Karla!
Hey, I just stumbled upon your blog! It’s so cool that you can speak greek btw!
I hope you feel better! When I have a sore throat I like to eat bread. I don’t really know why. I could never choose a favorite peanut butter flavor! I have to say mighty maple from pb co. is amazing. I absolutely love naturally nutty white chocolate coconut peanut butter too!
Oh no, I hope you feel better soon! I have been sick and completely out of it for the past week. Whatever you do, don’t push yourself – I made that mistake and it made me soooo much worse! Rest up & feel better!! 🙂
