Yup, somewhere amidst all the coughing and sneezing I am submitted to everyday as I travel about the city I picked up a head cold. It’s not a bad cold. It’s not the flu…or at not that version of the flu that turns you into mush.
Mostly I’m just tired with a low-grade fever. It hasn’t stopped me from doing what I do yet. Although it impacts my energy level. I’m glad it’s the weekend so I can catch up on my sleep. Although I am going to have to stay up for another playoff game tonight. I would be curious how Rachel advises dealing with a head cold during a diet reboot.?
I added a pinch of vegan protein powder to my oatmeal this morning so that Rachel could see the brand and the breakdown. The way this works is that I use MyFitnessPal to log all my food during the day. MyFitnessPal has a phone app where you can scan the barcode labels on food containers and it will pull those foods directly from the cloud.
I scanned the vegan protein powder so she could see it and tell me how horrible of a product it is. I bought it on sale in the supermarket. They had me a Vegan Protein Powder. All of these additives are so expensive in Wholefoods or worse in the Vitamin Shoppe. If I see them at a reasonable price out in the wild I buy them.
I use the protein powder in my green smoothies. This stuff made my oatmeal taste very vanilla and not in a good way. Not the nice vanilla of baking. The chemical vanilla of a car freshener.
The other thing I threw a pinch in to let her see was the yeast powder I bought. Apparently, the yeast powder or mother of yeast or active yeast or something like that is good for you. It has protein but also live squiggly yeasty beasties that populate your insides and do good works in there.
I couldn’t find the kind I got last time in Wholefoods so I got this stuff. Again, I put this stuff in smoothies. The yeast doesn’t have as much of a chemical taste as the protein powder. It is more of a subdued nutty or even mushroomy taste.
Big drop in one of my numbers today. I have a reasonable amount of running volume this weekend and we should see more progress. I have to do my meal prep. I think I’ll make some vegan chili for the game.
Cheers,
Chris,
