Five Dollar Foot-Long, Walking, and Me

I can't believe I let more than seven months go by without a post. Where did the time go? Well, I am glad to be back. About the title, well, I thought I would share. Over the last few months I managed to gain quite a bit of weight. Even after the holidays I couldn't seem to get motivated. A couple of weeks ago I finally started walking for a mere 20 minutes as best as I could during my lunch break. Around the time I started the walking, my co-worker started going to Subway for the $5 foot-long. He asked if I wanted anything...so...I asked him to pick up a veggie sub on whole wheat. We split it in half and, we were very pleasantly surprised how un-deprived we felt. After a week of eating a half veggie sub and walking each day, I lost two pounds. For some that amount is probably not a big deal but to me it was a victory!
