Back in the Groove

After an awful week of being ill, it feels great to feel like myself again. Well, almost like myself. I'm still finding it rather hard to drag my butt up and out of bed in the morning, so I haven't done my morning workout all week. I have, however, resumed my hour long walk home from work. Even in the cold, when I finally walk in the door and I can hardly feel my legs from the cold. 

To sweeten the deal for me to walk home, I've even opted to not renew my monthly bus pass. I still ride the bus to work in the morning, but I walk home. My thinking is that if it saves me money to walk home, I'm more likely to do it if I'm feeling a little lazy. Because of the (lame) bus route that I have to take at the time I'm done work, I get home at approximately the same time too. Getting exercise and paying half the bus fare for the month? I'd be pretty stupid not to walk home, wouldn't I?

I'm also paying quite a bit of attention to my foods again. No more comfort foods - back to the good stuff that's meant to give me lost of good energy for the day. I've been under my calorie goal all week, and I intend to keep it that way.

I'm determined to make sure that the needle on the scale goes down instead of up when I weigh in this Sunday.  Hopefully my lazy, sick, comfort food filled week last week didn't do too much damage.
