Could this week have been any bigger of a PITA?

I'm rather thankful that the wretched cold I picked up on Sunday managed to make it's way outta my system today - though I'm still sniffling and blowing my nose and all gorgeously nasally - but it does such a number on me. So, no work outs since Sunday's six-mile run. I did take the dog for a long walk last night, and am planning to do the same today, but I'm not planning on anything until spinning at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Hopefully one more night of sleep and rest will knock it out of me.

In other news, I have to share with you all this fantastic recipe for a veggie burrito that I ganked out of Oxygen. Maybe it's because I've - God forbid - really gotten into weight lifting, but I love that magazine. What I love the absolute most are the recipes. They're a little janky - simple steps are usually missing, and I invariably have to tinker with the measurements the next go-round in order for a recipe to turn out right - but so good and so healthy. I just had this for lunch and it rules.

Energy Veggie Burrito

1 large burrito tortilla - I use a low-carb wheat version
1/2 cup of avocado
1/4 cup of mache - Or any like-lettuce, this is the one I like
1/4 cup of chopped red onion - I use a little less since a little goes a long way
1/4 cup of chopped red pepper
1/4 cup shredded carrots
2 Tbsp of plain hummus

1) Heat the tortilla in the microwave for 30 seconds.
2) Spread the hummus evenly on the tortilla.
3) Add the rest.
4) Fold, roll, cut in half.

I added a little spray of lime juice and a tiny pinch of kosher salt after I assembled the veggies this morning to take to work. Kept the avocado fresher and gave the veggies a little kick. Don't ask me about calorie or carb counts because I don't have a clue, but it was so tasty and delicious, and perfect for a day like today, which is Springy and light and pretty.
