Awesome recipe ideas and minor setbacks

       So recently I have been flipping through my recipe book (the WW one referred to in my last post), and I have been trying new recipe ideas. Some things to think about...Veggies are almost always a freebie! Depending on the veggie, things like potatoes, corn, peas & beans (not green beans) are starchy and therefore considered a bread.
        I love making my totally spontaneous Veggie Soup. Basically as long as they are freebie veggies, you can use what you want. I make mine with Knorr Vegetable Bouillon, (refer to package for cups of water/cube), then I throw in all the veggies I want. Its an awesome snack for when you are hungry between meals and don't want to burn through your allotments for the day. Or you can use it as a meal and add meat for protein. I make a large stock pot and freeze a bunch so as to always have it on hand.
         Another recipe I tried and totally fell in love with is a veggie cheese bake. It has all vegetables and shredded provolone cheese. You bake it and you can have it for lunch or dinner. YUM! Counts as veg and protein. And finally, yesterday I tried a recipe for the first time called Veggie Cheese burgers. There is no meat in these burgers, but you would never know it!! You eat it without the bun, but can still top it however you want (just be careful...ketchup has loads of sugar!!!) We had ours with mustard, a tsp of ketchup, pickles, pepperoncini, and jalapenjos. MMMMMM!!! If anyone would like copies of any of the recipes I use, feel free to ask!
           Yesterday I also started working out. Previously I was doing Zumba on the Wii until I sprained a ligament in my left foot and was told to take a break from that. So using my home gym I did some crunches, curl ups and lat pulls(??). My arms were sore, my stomach was sore, but I think it was a good beginning work out. Was going to attempt more exercise today, however the head cold that has recently attacked my household finally caught up with me. =(  I woke up feeling like someone hit me in the face with a brick. So not cool! So instead I'm catching some rest and taking dayquil and sudafed  so I can make it to work tonight without issue. Hopefully with enough rest and meds this will pass in 24 hours and I can get back on track!
         Many thanks to all of you who have messaged me and sent me support! I really do hope that people find this blog to be helpful! Please let me know if you would like to see anything specific!!!
