So It’s Been Awhile

January 19, 2009 – Nicole’s Food Log

Ok, so I haven’t blogged in a while and I’m backlogged to boot. Decided to cut down on my catching up as really it’s all the same… Variations of ok-bad eating combined with life on a bike and I’m still sick.

I reintroduced rowing last week which was a good thing, though it pains me to see that I’m anywhere between 18 seconds and a full minute slower than usual due to my crappy lungs.

Speaking of which, consulted a doc (ironically from Heather’s neck of the woods) and the thought is that I originally had the flu which turned into a secondary bacterial infection of bronchitis.

Which would explain why the shaking, aches and fever stopped, but I’m breathing kinda like a 70-year-old smoker.

Fun, right?

So last week I ran into a triathlete friend of mine while in the gym and we were discussing the fact that I don’t really cook… at least nothing that involves a recipe anyway.

He gave me a little hell and an encouraging pep talk that I should cook more often, but cook what I really like to cook.

Thus I decided that once a week (baby steps people) I’m going to try and fix something that actually involves directions not affiliated with a blue box and a kraft label.

Anyhow, I fixed quiche for breakfast on Saturday and have been eating it every morning since.

Truly, who doesn’t love quiche? Ok, probably Heather, but I’m a fan.

And no, don’t even ask if I made the crust. Let’s not be silly…
