As I have been sitting in bed typing while feeling sick for a while. I wanted to chat about working out while sick. Do you do it? Do you rest? But what if you’re sick multiple days in a row? Do you rest all those days?

I had a big workout week planned. Lots of heavy lifting and some cardio intervals, but then I had the flu which came with a horrible sinus headache, then I had to go for a surgery.

Sometimes in life it pays to suck it up and rally, and sometimes you have to know when it’s time to rest and pay attention to your body. Being sick is one of those times. So all I did was – Rest, Reflect, and Recover!!

As I can’t be in the gym, I tried to eat healthy and drink lots of fresh juices to recover.

I got some fresh Mesclun Mix (Baby Green Romaine, Baby Red Oak Leaf, Baby Iceberg, Baby Spinach & Arugula) from the Inseason store located in Zamalek and customized it my way.
I added some almonds and fresh berries for the first salad.

And I added some Physalis, BlueBerries, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the second salad.

My Salad My Way. Oh yeaaah it was Yummy for my tummy 🙂

Whether you’re dieting or not, breakfast is a great way to help burn those unwanted calories.

Eating breakfast will also rev up your digestive system, and give your body energy to power through your day! A healthy well-balanced breakfast will help you to avoid snacking and over eating throughout the rest of the day!

Make celebrations fun and healthy!!

Eating healthy and being physically active can be a fun part of your life.

After being helpless for a week, unable to walk anywhere, I felt better today and celebrated that event with a tasty, healthy meal contains grilled salmon, fresh, green salad, mixed with pomegranate and drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil before serving! A Yummy Yummy a Nom Nom for my tummy. 

I was lucky to have a wonderful, sunny day to enjoy my lunch front of the balcony.

Healthy decisions start at home and you’ll be surprised by how easy making healthy changes can be. So be a cheerleader for healthy habits!!
