Feeling a little "off" today...

Well today was kind of the first day where I felt just EXHAUSTED! When I was pregnant previously with both kids I didn't get to just nap when I wanted so I am taking full advantage of it this time around! I did my normal running around and chores of the house and then decided that I really needed a nap today so I took one and I LOVED IT! I was crampier today too however I did work out after my nap and it felt good. I ran my normal Week 6 Day 2 which I have repeated two other days just cause it is a good run for me right now. The Day 3 seems a bit harder right now but we will see if I can progress further. I lifted my weights and did the ab workout and it was good. I talked with the gal that I like that does cycling and she mentioned how she taught cycling through almost her entire pregnancy so she encouraged me to keep going and just listen to my body so looks like cycling is on the agenda for tomorrow along with Thanksgiving morning!

On a side note we had some of the yummiest chicken fajitas tonight with this new sauce that I found that didn't contain any added msg, sugars etc it was so good that after working out we had another one! Also my favorite all time dessert is honey ice cream! So I posted a pic of my bowl for you along with the recipe! What amazes me is how much the texture is just like regular ice cream yet healthy as can be!

Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups cold heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup wildflower or orange blossom honey
  • 4 large egg yolks

                       Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat heavy cream to stiff peaks, then refrigerate. In a small pot, bring honey to a boil over medium-high and cook 2 minutes. In another medium bowl, using mixer, beat egg yolks until pale yellow. With mixer running, add hot honey in a slow, steady stream. Beat on high until mixture has cooled to room temperature, about 5 minutes. With a rubber spatula, fold in whipped cream. Transfer mixture to a 5-by-10-inch loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until set, 2 hours (or up to 1 week).
