good start to the week....well, kinda.

as far as eating goes, i've been good today and yesterday. my only "indulgence" was a mini reeses cup today. otherwise, i've had yogurt, granola bars, rice and whole wheat spaghetti with homemade sauce. and fruit. go me!

i skipped my workout this morning because i couldn't stop coughing when i woke up. not good to be wheezing on the machines!

i've been loading up on cold meds and tea (i'm a regular tea drinker as it is, but i'm pretty much doubling the amount now that i'm sick!)...hopefully by thursday i'll be well enough to work out again!

oh and i've been meaning to share a tidbit i found interesting. i have some caramel-scented hand lotion, and i've read that it's a good "dessert option". as in, instead of eating a dessert when i'm craving one, i should just put on my sweet smelling lotion, and that should be satisfying enough. i must admit, the smell is delicious!
