Health Kick

With my sinus infection finally gone (mostly) I am back on my health kick. I have been to the gym everyday this week so far, and I eating extra healthy. I am trying real hard to eat foods that are good for all around health like fish, chicken, nuts, fruits and veggies. I am also working at controlling my portions without depriving myself of anything that I enjoy. This isn't really any different than how I usually try to eat, but I am definitely putting a lot more effort into the portion control.

I am really not looking to lose a bunch of weight, but whenever I miss the gym consecutive days in a row and eat crappy I always gain weight right away. At least 5 lbs. It is really annoying. However, as soon as I get back on track I usually lose it right away. Plus, I enjoy working out and I would still like to work on toning my upper body.

I'll share one of my new favourite summer salads that I have been eating over the past couple of days.
