Good afternoon!
Unfortunately I’m not on my A-game today. My headache hasn’t gone away and I’m a wee bit worried that my superhuman immunity is wearing down and I’m getting whatever funky virus is going around. Not good. I rarely ever get sick (I don’t think I’ve been sick in about a year and a half!) but when I do…I fall HARD. A few years ago I had to be hospitalized for a week with mono, tonsilitus and pneumonia!
Regardless, this morning I snacked on a little trail mix then headed to the studio to work out outside with the girls! We followed more of a Crossfit plan….not sure how my legs will be feeling tomorrow after 150 air squats!
We did 3 sets of each without any rest in between:
15 jumping jacks
30 push-ups
30 dips
50 air squats
40 crunches
After working out, I headed around the corner to Trader Joe’s to stock up on some fruit since my fridge is pretty bare. I also grabbed these spring rolls + a banana and some juice for a late lunch:

February 16, 2010 at 3:17 pmI know how you feel, I’ve had a headache all day too! My plan is to drink tea, take a hot shower and go to bed early. Hope you feel better!

February 16, 2010 at 3:18 pmI’m just catching up on posts and I LOVE your hair! Soooooo lovely.
Also, her dog is named Ketchum? Cute dog for a cute town (assuming she named her dog after the town of Ketchum Idaho?) Maybe not, in which case….it’s still a cute town!

February 16, 2010 at 3:23 pmThat looks just like my dog! Making me home sick
Tina
February 16, 2010 at 3:25 pmI’m the same way. I don’t get sick often but get sick BAD when I do. Like right now. I hope whatever it is doesn’t get to you.

February 16, 2010 at 3:26 pmWhat a cute dog…I’m sure his little face is good for a immunity boost!
I hope you feel better soon!

February 16, 2010 at 3:34 pmTake zinc! It is an immune system booster! And I know it sounds stupid but whenever I feel like I am coming down with something I always repeat this mantra:
“I’m Healthy, I’m Happy, I’m Terrific!”
Katie@ Two Lives, One Lifestyle
February 16, 2010 at 3:34 pmBeautious weather! Your last epic sickness sounds miserable, I hope you feel better and aren’t getting anything!

February 16, 2010 at 3:34 pmAh, hope you feel better soon! Drink lots of liquids!

February 16, 2010 at 3:37 pmThat dog is adorable! I hope you don’t get sick! Just get lots of rest and vitamin C, and maybe that will cure it. 🙂

February 16, 2010 at 3:38 pmoh, i hope you’re not getting sick! that’s no bueno…i love the spring rolls though, they sound fantastic!

Just a question…what are air squats?
Jil
February 16, 2010 at 3:39 pmOh what a cute dog!! Jealous of your sunshine!! I hope you feel better, and it’s nothing too serious!
Cristina
February 16, 2010 at 3:40 pmI just started taking vitamins. I know, I never really took anything like that consistently. But I wonder if the vitamins will help my immune system out in preparation for when I get a new job (new environment = new germs).
MMiller
February 16, 2010 at 3:40 pmHope you are feeling better! Your body is telling you to rest up! Keep drinking the tea and up the vitamin C! And most of all REST! Hope you bounce right back in a day or two!
Katy ( The Balanced Foodie)
February 16, 2010 at 3:45 pmUgh, praying you don’t get sick Jenna! Hopefully you’ll be able to take it easy, work-out wise tomorrow and rest up!
heather
February 16, 2010 at 3:51 pmI’m saying OUCH just reading the workout. I did 15 jumping jacks, 10 dips, and 20 squats just to get a taste and I was right. That would hurt!
Jenn @ Livewellfit
February 16, 2010 at 3:56 pmSounds like you could use some serious rest, lots of amazing grass and some vitamin C. At least, those are often my winner go-tos if I’m feeling like something is coming on.
I started drinking green monster smoothies + shakeology nutrition powder (some good stuff and very similar to amazing grass in terms of the nutrients) and I have kept off every flu/virus/cold this year. My fiance had the flu but with 2 monsters day, I kept it off! Amazing stuff good food is. 😉

Lily @ Lily's Health Pad
February 16, 2010 at 4:03 pm1) What are air squats?
2) Have you ever tried Crossfit? I really want to! If you tried it, did you like it.
3) I hear ya on getting sick. I haven’t been sick in years and I just got sick twice in two months.
jenna
February 16, 2010 at 4:12 pmLily,
1) Air squats are just regular squats without any weights. You just stand and squat down over and over.
2) I’ve never tried Crossfit before but am very interested!

February 16, 2010 at 4:28 pmI am getting over the ‘funky virus’ right now – not fun. Hope it doesn’t get you too.
Mmmm, I heart TJ’s tofu spring rolls — so light & Spring-y =]
Sarah
February 16, 2010 at 4:31 pmHi! I’ve been a silent follower for a bit now but since you sound a little like me today I had to post a comment. My day started off with a big headache, quality time “talking on the big white telephone” as my grandmother calls it, and then some rest in bed. I’m pretty much all better now. Hope you recover as quickly as I did from my headache! I find that being active keeps me from getting sick often and I usually pop right up after I’m sick–hope the same for you!
Sarah
February 16, 2010 at 4:32 pmps – big white telephone is the toilet
Daniel
February 16, 2010 at 4:35 pmYour lunch looks great! – how do spring rolls taste? (Like, the roll/wrap itself.)
I’m sure with your exercise routines and eating habits that you’ll stay healthy!
Danielle (Coffee Run)
February 16, 2010 at 4:44 pmI’m sorry you’re feeling sick! I always think that I have super human immunity too lol. I NEVER get ill
Stef
February 16, 2010 at 4:52 pmoh man you really had the trifecta of sickness a while back! let’s hope it’s nothing near that serious this time around. feel better!
Gabriela
February 16, 2010 at 4:53 pmI hate to get sick! And apparently, when you fall you fall HARD.
I hope it´s just a cold or a flu or something like that!
😀
Wish you all best.

February 16, 2010 at 5:54 pmI love Trader Joes. Your Cali version has much more fun stuff than mine though.
Suzanne de Cornelia
February 16, 2010 at 5:58 pmDrink 2 OZ Wheat Grass shots from somewhere like Cafe Gratitude or Whole Foods. And WORD. Say over and over to self ‘I’m well, all my cells are mighty and strong’ etc something. Because if use the word ‘sick’ and focus on it will get it.
As you said–I am never sick but the few times have been it’s been something major. When stressed it’s time for blender drinks with protein powder. Fruits in AM to cleanse, vegs in PM to fortify. And soups. Because then nutrients get absorbed at cellular level. You know all of this but when starting to feel poorly it sometimes helps to have an ‘Aunty Buttinsky’ reminder. Hope you feel much better. 🙂

February 16, 2010 at 6:29 pmI hope your cold doesn’t evolve into something gnarly, Jenna! I was knocked out most of last week with an awful cold…it was rotten. Rest up as much as possible and keep juicing it! The sunshine should help as well.
Those spring rolls look delicious.

February 16, 2010 at 7:10 pmI love Ketchum. Get well soon, get lots of sleep!!

I WANT TO WRITE TOOO!!!! Hahaha – how do you find being home and writing with eating? I have my butt in the fridge every 10 seconds it seems….
ACK!!
Also, I know your a fan of books. How do you feel about movies and stuff??

February 16, 2010 at 7:44 pmStay well! Defense smoothie is a great play. Rest and relaxation are the sickness antidote!

February 17, 2010 at 3:57 amTofu Spring Rolls… man how much do I miss having places like Trader Joes! Or any legitimate organic shops!
Feel better!
Caitlin
February 17, 2010 at 4:10 amTake it easy so you don’t get sick!
That workout sounds simple, but I bet it was really intense (especially the third time around)! I’m going to give it a shot tomorrow – but a modified version.. 🙂
Rachel (Suburban Yogini)
February 17, 2010 at 4:43 amOh no! Yoga’s very good for the immune system.
Feel better soon! 😀
Sophie @ yumventures
February 17, 2010 at 5:01 amI always take echinacea when I feel like I’m getting sick, it normally knocks it out!
Lizzie
February 17, 2010 at 5:36 amI had a headache last night and this morning – pretty sure it was caused by my laziness in not drinking enough water after swimming!! Also, the snow plough/blower at 2am didn’t help either 🙂 Hope you’re feeling better this morning! I’ve been experimenting with a teaspoon of straight up cod liver oil this winter. My mum used to do it all the time when we were growing up and was hardly ever sick – hopefully it’s having the same effect!!
Kelly
February 17, 2010 at 5:48 amGet lots of Vitamin C and rest!

February 17, 2010 at 9:57 amJenna,
I saw the workout you were planning and definitely thought CROSSFIT immediately. I’m so excited to read that you’re interested in it. I’ve been doing it steadily for about a year and have never been stronger or happier with my appearance and abilities. I strongly, STRONGLY recommend researching it and giving it a try. The mainpage workouts can be intimidating, so please look into scaling via Crossfit BrandX, or looking into working at your local Crossfit affiliate. Please don’t hesitate to email me or drop by my blog if you have questions. It’s new, so I’ve lots to post but I would welcome your visit!
Meghan
Kristilyn (My 29th Year)
February 18, 2010 at 12:43 pmYour workout sounds intense! I don’t think I could do all of that 3 times (especially the push ups and dips!).
Those spring rolls look really good – I really wish we had them in Canada!
