It was extremely slippery when I left work this morning.  Cold, rain and ice do not make ideal conditions for a run so to the gym I went.  I’m starting to really like the gym again.  It’s a nice change although I do crave an outdoor run every couple of days.  I’ll just have to take what I can get for now.

I’ve been using the Arc Trainer quite a bit and trying out the different programs and levels it offers.  I am able to read while I’m on the Arc Trainer which is nice because I don’t have a lot of quality time to sit and enjoy a book or magazine.  Is it wrong that I multitask while working out?  I have also increased my strength training to 3 times a week.

I came home from the gym and made breakfast for my husband and I.  Carlos had already eaten.  I made Orlando and omelet with tomato, cheddar and banana peppers.  It looked incredible that I decided to forego my usual oatmeal and make myself an egg white omelet with tomato, banana peppers and goat cheese.  I heated a Joseph’s Flax, Oat Bran and Whole Wheat Flour Tortilla and spread a little Laughing Cow Light on it.  My breakfast was delicious but I was definitely missing something sweet.

We are heading to my Mom’s for dinner.  I hear that her homemade turkey soup is cooking away.  I can’t wait.  Nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a cold icy day like today.
