\"Simmering<\/a>Some how I have picked up a cold. \u00a0It hit me full force last night and I’m down for the count. \u00a0I’m still functional but feel like death warmed over.<\/p>\n

Summer colds are the worst! \u00a0Being hot with a fever when it’s already hot outside makes for a pretty miserable experience.<\/p>\n

I have a meeting today and then when I get back home I’m crashing out on the couch. \u00a0Hopefully some Law and Order: SVU will be playing because Stabler always makes things a little better.<\/p>\n

It’s a little too warm out for hot tea and bourbon <\/a>but I will be drinking stock<\/a> like it’s my job. \u00a0I’ve already got some simmering away on the stove.<\/p>\n

We had our first chicken CSA pickup yesterday and now we are loaded down with eggs and chicken for the month. \u00a0We have 5 dozen eggs and I’m curious to see how long that actually lasts. \u00a0I bet I’ll have to supplement a bit. \u00a0However we should have\u00a0plenty of bones\u00a0so that I can make sure to always have some stock on hand.<\/p>\n

Thankfully I still have an appetite and all I want is real food and lots of veggies. \u00a0Since the Spring Clean Eats<\/a> challenge has ended, we have slowly creeped back to having some processed foods and eating out more than we should.<\/p>\n

And we both have noticed the effects. \u00a0I turned to Scott the other day and said, “I miss breakfast soup<\/a>. \u00a0I miss the clean eats challenge. \u00a0I felt amazing when we did that and now I feel like crap.”<\/p>\n

I know that the quality of food one consumes directly impacts the way someone will feel. \u00a0I know this and yet there’s this mental obstacle that I need to get past in order to get back to eating well. \u00a0Why I have this block, I have no idea.<\/p>\n

With this stupid cold, I’ve had the lightbulb moment. \u00a0The moment where I said, ENOUGH. \u00a0I’m done feeling like crap and eating like crap. \u00a0It’s time to jump this hurdle.<\/p>\n

So I’ll take this week to get back to eating real foods and taking care of myself. \u00a0Not only to\u00a0kick start this journey but to get over this cold.<\/p>\n

It’s time to take charge of my health again and return to the real me.<\/p>\n

The cold may be annoying but it has made me realize that it’s time to get off the crappy foods train and get back to living a healthy and positive lifestyle.<\/p>\n
