Morning!
Well, we sort of missed the Bikram boat this morning. Actually, we woke up ridiculously early but didn’t feel like driving 20 minutes to get to the class. Call us lazy. Or, actually, call ME lazy. Anne actually is out on a run right now while I am just laying in bed. Six days of yoga last week was enough for me. Time to rest.
But how cool is my new t-shirt?! It says “If found on the ground, please drag to the finish line”. Thank you, santa! 🙂
For breakfast, I made Anne ELR oatmeal and I had a toasted ezekiel muffin with almond butter and jam. I decided to save that apple for later!
SuperFood + water:
I woke up this morning with a pretty bad sore throat. Not really too thrilled about that. I haven’t had a cold in a looooong time and I’m really hoping I can ward this off before it becomes anything major, tomorrow being New Years Eve and all.
Have a great day everyone!

December 30, 2009 at 8:48 amAww, Jenna! Hopefully you can nip this potential cold in the bud. Eat a lot of fresh oranges (shouldn’t be difficult to find in CA), and rest up!
The shirt is pretty cute, gotta say!

December 30, 2009 at 9:01 amI hope your sore throat goes away too! I have been dealing with tonsillitis for 4 days now and am set to go to Mexico on Sunday – praying mine gets better bc its really been a slow recovery this time….

December 30, 2009 at 9:01 amLove the shirt! And my advice would be to keep drinking those fluids — prepping for NYE and all 😉

December 30, 2009 at 9:04 amHimalayan salt water gargles, lots of hot lemon water, fresh squeezed orange juice, a neti pot (highly recommend) and steam your face with lemon water…oh and hot sauce on the food! I ward off colds in no time flat.
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini)
December 30, 2009 at 9:07 amProbably best to rest (I’m a poet and didn’t know it!) with a cold coming on! Hope you feel better soon!
Enjoy your day!
Oh, and LOVE the shirt!
Marisa (Loser for Life)
December 30, 2009 at 9:11 amThat shirt is the best! LOL!
Good for you for taking a rest day!

December 30, 2009 at 9:13 amI am always worried about getting sick before fun holidays (like NYE!), but usually the sore throat passes without too much trouble. Keep on doin’ what you’re doin’ – resting, drinking a lot of fluids, etc. Feel better!

December 30, 2009 at 9:14 amOy…here’s my (unsolicited) don’t-get-sick arsenal. It sounds like a lot but when I pull it out I always feel back to 100% the next day!
-super greens (you got this one covered). Ideally 2-3 servings throughout the day.
-a big vegetable juice with lots of kale (alternatively, a green smoothie with berries and kale)
-spicy Asian style soup with garlic, turmeric, ginger, and cayenne (I swear by this spice mixture…usually I just make an easy brothy soup with rice noodles, broccoli, and lots of spices)
-Kombucha (one of the rare times I will buy it is when I’m feeling sick!)
-a 20 minute soak in a HOT bath with 1/2 bottle of hydrogen peroxide and two cups of epsom salts added. This is the key. I swear by this one. Hot soak, wool socks, and to bed.
Hope it passes quickly so you can fully enjoy your visit!!

December 30, 2009 at 9:15 amOoh, and I almost forgot: I start taking zinc/vit. C tablets as soon as I feel a tickle.
Diana @ frontyardfoodie
December 30, 2009 at 9:15 amI’m inspired by Anne….must, run, tonight. Also, I need your shirt.

Christie @ Honoring Health

Your t-shirt is super cute!
Katy @ These Beautiful Feet
December 30, 2009 at 9:20 amYou definitely deserve the rest, enjoy it! Praying the cold goes away before you know it, have an awesome time with Anne! 🙂
Jen (Running With Cake)
December 30, 2009 at 9:21 amBikram yoga might actually be good for your possible cold – sweat it out! 😉 Hope you feel better soon.
Jenny
December 30, 2009 at 9:22 amYou definitely deserve some rest after your intense yoga sessions last week! 🙂
That shirt is hysterical! I want one!
I’m fighting off a week long cold, feels like I’ll never stop blowing my nose.
liane
December 30, 2009 at 9:23 amI love the shirt!
Carolyn
December 30, 2009 at 9:23 amFeel better soon. Maybe take some vit C & D supplements.
Lu
December 30, 2009 at 9:28 amI hope you don’t get sick. Sometimes I find that Bikram can give me a sore throat. It goes away usually within a day or two at the most and never develops into much. I chalk it up to all the junk that’s coming out of my body. Well, that, or I was breathing through my mouth waaaaayyyy too much in my previous yoga session. Love the T-Shirt.
Lauren @ louisianagrown
December 30, 2009 at 9:30 amStaying in bed this morning was probably just as good for you as doing yoga. Your body needs rest!
Erin
December 30, 2009 at 9:33 amRest is definitely important if you think you’re getting sick — enjoy your day! 🙂
Cynthia (It All Changes)
December 30, 2009 at 9:35 amThat shirt is perfect! By chance do you know where Santa got it?
Relax after your long fulfilling week.
Jenna
December 30, 2009 at 9:42 amYou deserve a break from yoga. 🙂
I hope you feel better pronto!
Karla
December 30, 2009 at 9:43 amcute shirt! I hope you’re not getting sick you need to be healthy to party it up tomorrow!!
Erin @ Big Girl Eats
December 30, 2009 at 9:45 amI hope your feeling better! Take a rest day, some hot ginger lemon tea, and save your strength for New Years! 😉
Kelly
December 30, 2009 at 9:45 amI woke up with a sore throat today too. Had the same thought? NOT before New Years!
Jenna
December 30, 2009 at 9:46 amCute shirt!
The Voracious Vegan
December 30, 2009 at 9:59 amOooh hope you can stop your cold before it gets worse! Lots of greens and hot teas, that will fix you up in no time. It’s probably a good thing you took a rest day from yoga, it’ll give your body time for rest and repair. That is always a good thing!
I haven’t been full fledged sick since going vegan several years ago, but whenever I feel a bit groggy like something MIGHT be coming around the corner, I always make sure to get lots of sunshine (easy here in Saudi Arabia), rest, and eat tons of oranges. And chocolate. 😉
Nicole @ Geek Turned Athlete
December 30, 2009 at 10:15 amI LOVE that shirt!! Where did Santa get it from?
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg
December 30, 2009 at 10:15 amlol– I was going to be super impressed if you made it to yoga after last night’s fun activities 🙂
Jil
December 30, 2009 at 10:16 amHope you feel better! It’s that time of year…colds and sore throats galore. Love the shirt!
Annie
December 30, 2009 at 10:50 amFunny story – I totally had a dream about you last night Jenna! I dreamt that you were a bartender and I ordered a Guiness, and you kept forgetting to bring it to me. And I got really pissed and started telling you what a terrible bartender you are. And then you made me a tall glass of carrot juice with liquor in it… so not the same thing as a Guiness.
Cait (Cait's Plate)
December 30, 2009 at 11:05 amHAH. That’s a great T-shirt. I love fun running shirts 🙂
Hope you feel better soon! Rest up today so you can be ready to enjoy tomorrow!

December 30, 2009 at 11:30 amSore Throat, ugh! Echinacea Tea has preformed miracles for me at the start of something. If don’t have ‘Prescription for Nutritional Healing’ that’s excellent for remedies for anything. Hope it goes away! BTW-I am helping to spread this vid ‘Everybody Hurts’ that has been viewed 500K+ times. Very powerful before NYE. http://tinyurl.com/oe4ezq
Hope the sore throat goes away!
Laura Georgina
December 30, 2009 at 12:58 pmEeek, the dreaded New Year’s cold! I always get one around this time. Rest up and stay warm!

December 30, 2009 at 1:17 pmYou deserve that rest, miss Yogi!!
Love that shirt:)
Hope your sore throat goes away! Hopefully the Superfood will chase it away.

December 30, 2009 at 1:52 pmMeh… feel better!! I. Need. That. Shirt. =D
Heather @ The Joyful Kitchen
December 30, 2009 at 2:15 pmI’d say you do so much you’re allowed to lay in bed 😉 Hope you feel better soon!
Heather @ Get Healthy With Heather
December 30, 2009 at 2:18 pmSweet new tee!
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman
December 30, 2009 at 2:24 pmSorry you’re feeling sick. Even though some people say it doesn’t work, I find that taking a few Airbornes (about three in a day) really helps prevent a cold or sore throat. The grapefruit flavor is the best.
Sandy
December 30, 2009 at 3:08 pmEmergenC (from the drugstore) helps me when I think a cold is coming on. I always wonder if it is psychological – I drink the EmergenC and then I get better. Love the shirt. Please share if you know where we can find one.
Denise
December 30, 2009 at 4:15 pmWhere did you get the great t-shirt? I have couple of friends I want to get it for who are running in their first half marathons!
jenna
December 30, 2009 at 4:30 pmDenise and others,
My mom got it at a running store in our mall!
Abby
December 30, 2009 at 4:40 pmAhh I want that shirt! It has a very personal meaning to me since breaking my foot mid-half marathon. I LOVE IT!
Lucinda
December 30, 2009 at 6:27 pmI heart that t-shirt – it’s brilliant! WANT 🙂
