Nothing Can Keep Me Away

From the Indian food buffet ๐Ÿ˜‰

indian

Heh heh.

The pilot got home last night and I think he could tell from looking at me that I needed to get out of the house. I was pale, in the same jammies I had slept in the night before (nice, right? haha), watching House Bunny for the second time, and clutching a box of tissues. I had been sick and cooped up all day!

He was so sweet and took me on a little field trip- I even braided my hair and put on a different outfit ๐Ÿ™‚

We went to Bizzle:

(grande Refresh tea)

and to get Indian for dinner.

I pointed out what I wanted and the pilot scooped it into the To-Go containerโ€ฆ I didnโ€™t want to get the serving spoons all germy.

+ a giant piece of roti (the puppers got the other half)

Perfection ๐Ÿ˜€

I watched SYTYCD while the pilot did work stuff, then we called it a night ๐Ÿ™‚

This morningโ€™s bfast was the usual bfast cookie dough cereal.

Iโ€™m obsessed ๐Ÿ˜€

The plan for the day:

-GTL = Groceries, TurboFire (if I feel up to it), Laundry

-Training appointments (if I donโ€™t have to cancel them againโ€”I really donโ€™t want to get anyone sick)

-Blog post on how to clean-up a recipe (Iโ€™ve gotten requests for Mexican recipes and carrot cakeโ€”anything else youโ€™d like to see?)

Have a wonderful day!

  2. Kristina on August 5, 2010 at 9:58 am

    hope youโ€™re feeling better! ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Marilou @ Mostly Healthy on August 5, 2010 at 9:59 am

    Spices is all you need to kill those germs ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Little Bookworm on August 5, 2010 at 10:00 am

    Hope you are feeling better now. The Indian food looks lovely and the breakfast cookie dough cereal. ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. Lauren @ BIOCHEMISTA on August 5, 2010 at 10:07 am

    Hope you feel better soon ma dear! ๐Ÿ™‚ When I have a cold I almost ALWAYS lose my sense of taste. What a shame it would have been if that happened just before your Indian food feast!!!

    LOVE the GTL reference btw. HAHA I like the TurboFire option SO MUCH BETTER!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    XOXOX

    Aw, being sick is no fun! But the pilot is so sweet to take care of you. ๐Ÿ™‚ I just imagined you braiding your hair in pigtails like a little girl! (thatโ€™s what I used to do, anyway!)

    • Fitnessista on August 5, 2010 at 10:12 am

      it was a side braid, but close ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Jenna on August 5, 2010 at 10:11 am

    Yayy! I hope you continue to feel better ๐Ÿ™‚ I definitely have those days sometimes where you can just tell Iโ€™ve been cooped up in the house too long. Haha. Iโ€™ve also really wanted to try indian food since Iโ€™ve been seeing it on your blog weekly, but there are no restaurants around me! I guess itโ€™s time I whip up some recipes or buy some Amyโ€™s indian food! Maybe youโ€™ll see me next wednesday ๐Ÿ˜‰ Also, could you try & do a โ€œclean upโ€ on a cinnamon roll recipe? I think thatโ€™d be really cool! Try to make it vegan if you can, or make vegan substitutions. Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Holly @ couchpotatoathlete on August 5, 2010 at 10:12 am

    Oh the Pilot is so nice!!! I hope you feel better today. Iโ€™m sure the spicy Indian food should help your throat.

    And I love The House Bunny. I thought it was hilarious!

  9. Barbara on August 5, 2010 at 10:23 am

    yes on the recipe clean up โ€“ alfredo sauce;-). thx.

    • Dynamics on August 5, 2010 at 3:07 pm

      Yes, please.

  10. jenna on August 5, 2010 at 10:23 am

    I hope you feel better!!!!

    that is so nice of you not to touch the buffet utensiles!! Iโ€™m really suprised not that you are nice! that is but that you would think to do that! ๐Ÿ™‚ vegan brownie points for you!

  11. Cyndi @ Weightless Life on August 5, 2010 at 10:47 am

    The Indian food you get always looks so tasty. Iโ€™m going out for Indian tomorrow and I cannot wait.

  12. Amanda on August 5, 2010 at 11:02 am

    Feel better!

    Side note question: What people food do you feed your fur babies? My shiba has the pickiest tummy, one day she can have a piece of chicken and the next its no bueno.

    • Fitnessista on August 5, 2010 at 11:21 am

      peas, carrots, strawberries, garbanzo beans, turkey, chicken, peanut butter and small amounts of cheese and yogurt

      • Dynamics on August 5, 2010 at 3:09 pm

        cottage cheese and green beans is good too.

  13. Amanda-The Nutritionist Reviews on August 5, 2010 at 11:29 am

    Your indian food always looks so good! Have you ever tried the brand Tasty Bite Indian food? I just got some in the mail for review and was wondering if it is any good?

    • Fitnessista on August 5, 2010 at 11:41 am

      never tried it- let me know what you think!

  14. Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat on August 5, 2010 at 11:33 am

    Aww the Pilot is lovely!! Glad you got your Indian food โ€“ it wouldnโ€™t be a Wednesday without it! Hope youโ€™re feeling better today. Rest up! ๐Ÿ™‚

  15. Ellen @ Undercover Runner Eats on August 5, 2010 at 11:47 am

    I canโ€™t wait for your carrot cake recipe! Carrot cake is one of my favs.

  16. Erin Elizabeth on August 5, 2010 at 11:50 am

    feel better!! I had a questionโ€ฆdo you use the same amount of oats in your bfast cookie dough cereal as you do in your bfast cookie? So about 1/3 cup or 1/2 a cup or something? Thanks!

  17. Heather (Heather's Dish) on August 5, 2010 at 11:52 am

    you just canโ€™t stop true LOVE ๐Ÿ™‚

  18. Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter on August 5, 2010 at 11:52 am

    Indian would be the perfect pick me up for me as well. I hope you feel better today. Iโ€™ve had the sickies recently too.

  19. Megan @ Healthy Hoggin' on August 5, 2010 at 11:58 am

    Hope the Indian food made you feel better! I love eating warm, spicy stuff when Iโ€™m sick, too!

    Canโ€™t wait for a healthier carrot cake recipeโ€“ thatโ€™s my fave! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  20. Karyn on August 5, 2010 at 11:58 am

    what a stellar husband you have! hope youโ€™re feeling much better today ๐Ÿ™‚

  21. Ilana on August 5, 2010 at 12:05 pm

    omg all I wanted last night was Indian food โ€ฆ could not find a delivery place for the life of me! What good is living in NYC if I canโ€™t get exactly what I want delivered when Iโ€™m sick?? what a wonderful hubby youโ€™ve got sweetie โ€“ and I hope youโ€™re all better!!

  22. A Teenage Gourmet on August 5, 2010 at 12:13 pm

    I want Sun Warrior so badly, today IS my lucky day! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • A Teenage Gourmet on August 5, 2010 at 12:15 pm

      Question though, is there only chocolate available? What other flavors, if not? And, are they still good?

  23. Paige @ Running Around Normal on August 5, 2010 at 12:18 pm

    Haha โ€“ hopefully those Indian food spices will help you feel in tip top shape! I had some delicious baighan barhta the other night and thought of you! Canโ€™t wait til HLS!

  24. Shanna, like Banana on August 5, 2010 at 12:36 pm

    Love that you still want Indian food when youโ€™re sick. I EAT like a madwoman when Iโ€™m sick..nothing can keep me away from it. I never understand when people tell me they couldnโ€™t eat for daysโ€ฆhuh???

  25. Sarra H on August 5, 2010 at 12:40 pm

    LOL at your โ€œGTLโ€! I hope youโ€™re feeling better!! the indian food looks aaaamaaazinggg!

  26. Dorry on August 5, 2010 at 12:41 pm

    Thereโ€™s nothing better than your favorite restaurant meal in the comfort of your own home! Take-out for the win. ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. Krystina on August 5, 2010 at 12:50 pm

    Feel better. <3

  28. LisaG on August 5, 2010 at 1:00 pm

    I knew the Pilot would come through. How about some cleaned up cheesecake; any flavor will do?

  29. Kelly on August 5, 2010 at 1:03 pm

    What a good hubby! I have a giant craving for Indian latelyโ€ฆall because of you! I guess I will have to give in soon ;).

    What about a clean up post about sandwiches? And even salads could be good! Or eating out. You always seem to know exactly what to order to eat healthy when eating out and I wish I did!

  30. Liz @ Tip Top Shape on August 5, 2010 at 1:16 pm

    Wasnโ€™t SYTYCD amazing last night??? I thought Kent and Neilโ€™s contemporary was amazing. Everyone has had a friend that soured and the emotions throughout were perfect. Travis has definitely become my favorite choreographer. Well..after Nap and Tabs ๐Ÿ˜€

    Hope youโ€™re feeling better!! Iโ€™m sure the Indian helped ๐Ÿ™‚

  31. Jenn @ So Very Fit on August 5, 2010 at 1:31 pm

    I am so jealous of all the Indian food youโ€™ve been eating! I havenโ€™t had any in ages. Maybe Iโ€™ll have to convince the BF to go this weekend hehe. ๐Ÿ™‚

  32. Alexis {Mission: Ambition} on August 5, 2010 at 1:49 pm

    Hope youโ€™re feeing better soon ๐Ÿ™‚ My husband keeps wanting me to try Indian food (heโ€™s been obsessed since he spent December in India) but I havenโ€™t yet.

  33. VOcanas on August 5, 2010 at 1:49 pm

    Nice Pilot! I hope you feel better soon.

    Iโ€™d love to see you clean this Mexican Casserole recipe up:

    http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/mexican-casserole-2/Detail.aspx

    I used to make it a lot in college, and Iโ€™ve been thinking about it lately.

  34. Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine on August 5, 2010 at 2:18 pm

    Indian food sounds like the most wonderful remedy, how sweet of the pilot! Hope youโ€™re feeling better love ๐Ÿ™‚

  35. Anya @ Fitness & Sunshine on August 5, 2010 at 2:55 pm

    I hope you feel better soon! ๐Ÿ™‚

    That take out looks scrumptious. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  36. Laury @TheFitnessDish on August 5, 2010 at 2:57 pm

    Hope youโ€™re feeling better!!! Nothing like Indian Food to open you up!!

    I am totally GTL today too โ€œGym-Training-Laundryโ€

  37. Melissa G on August 5, 2010 at 3:11 pm

    Hey Gina- I know youโ€™ve made lasagna in the past, do you think you could do a traditional healthy lasagna recipe makeover? Doesnโ€™t have to have meat in it, but if it does thatโ€™s fine too. Thanks! Feel better!!!

  38. Katie @ Healthy Heddleston on August 5, 2010 at 3:36 pm

    Aww yay Pilot, sounds like heโ€™s really taking care of you!

  39. Laura J. on August 5, 2010 at 3:43 pm

    I took Zumba for the first time last night! It was freakin awesome!! Now I get the obsession with it. Itโ€™s such a fun class!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I hope you start feeling better soon! This thing is really hangin on to you. Looks like the Pilot is taking good care of you tho ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Fitnessista on August 5, 2010 at 4:47 pm

      iโ€™m so glad you liked it!!

  40. Kaitlin With Honey on August 5, 2010 at 3:46 pm

    I hope you feel better soon! I am glad, though, that youโ€™ve got the Pilot taking care of you in the meantime. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Iโ€™m sure that spicy Indian food helped to clear your sinuses! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  44. Lorin on August 5, 2010 at 11:00 pm

    So for the breakfast cookie dough cereal, you just add milk and sliced banana to the already made cookie?

    • Fitnessista on August 6, 2010 at 9:39 am

      yes but when i make the cookie, i donโ€™t use the smashed banana. just oats, protein and almond butter, then add lots of milk and sliced banana
