gettin' back to it!

late last week, i caught a nasty cold. i'm still having coughing attacks and am congested, but i'm a LOT better than i was earlier this week! 

anyway, needless to say, i hadn't really worked out for a while. yesterday, i finally got back in the saddle and went to the gym. and let me tell you, it felt so good!  who would've known i would actually enjoy working out?!

i plan on going again today, and hopefully i won't cough or need to blow my nose as much as yesterday. yech.

still around the same weight, but i feel slightly more toned than before, so that's good! i've been reading my health magazine for some additional exercises, and a couple of them i already was doing in my routine. sweet!

this week wasn't so great for food, though....mainly because it was safety training week for work...which means that i had to help prepare some not-so-healthy food for over 100 construction workers.  there weren't any other places to pick up food, and it was free, so i ate it. i didn't overload my plate, though, so hopefully that's good? and i opted for fruit instead of donuts for the breakfast. :) oh, and a blueberry muffin. hehe!

i'm glad that subway has their $5 footlong promotion again, because sometimes i like to stop there for lunch and buy a footlong, eating only half and then saving the other half for later. that's what i did today....so i'm going to have a sweet onion chicken teriaki sub for dinner. :D

i still think i need to scale back a little on some of my meals, and i considered doing another vegetarian kick, but that was impossible this week. (they served steak, pulled pork, burgers and brats at the safety training...). maybe next week i'll consider it.  i liked doing it because it pushed me out of my comfort zone when ordering food and i ended up cooking more, and making things i don't normally make (like boca burgers, tofu burritos, etc). i'll think about it!

i can't wait until spring, so i can go walking outside again! it feels so good to do that, and definitely boosts my mood!
