ExerciseS and Food Journal 3/6/2009

So, I got up semi-early and went to swim a little in the pool. I did diagonals again, which would have been better if they hadn't put plexiglass in between the indoor and outdoor pool access. Every time I've been there, even when the outdoor pool was closed, the access under the water was open. Now, I'm not saying that's safe. It's not, in fact, when the outdoor pool is closed. But when you are trying your very best to do laps in an oddly-shaped pool and the pool is not very large to begin with and the water is hitting the sides of the pool and coming back at you, it's like swimming in your own personal ocean. I only did 400 meters. I counted my strokes again. This time it was much closer. One diagonal was about 12 strokes, and a 25 meter is about 24 or 25. So, eight diagonals was 100 meters. BUT, after I was done with the 400 meters, I did some aqua aerobics.

Then, in the evening, I went to pick up the dog from the friends who were watching her. They were headed to zumba. Did someone say zumba? I'm in! I didn't sit down once, though I did have to take my foot out of my shoe several times and I took a small break to the water fountain once. But I was really proud of myself.

Food journal behind the cut.




Breakfast-
Strawberry/Banana Yogurt...I don't know if it was fat free...I forgot to check
Granola (The hotel's room service granola was THE BEST granola I have ever had in my entire life. It had the oats and raisins you would expect, but it also had cashews and dried cranberries. I think it had honey in it, but I was able to get past it because it was SO INCREDIBLY GOOD.)
1 Strawberry
4 Pineapple slices
4 Cantaloupe slices
1 Honeydew slice
Tomato Juice

Lunch-
Baked Potato with cheese and butter
Some kind of Stew type thing...it was good. It had stewed tomatoes, zucchini, Mushrooms and Beans
Salad (Lettuce, Almonds, Oranges with a vinaigrette maybe?)
Pomegranate/Cherry flavored water
Pineapple flavored Lifesaver

Dinner-
Two bowls of pasta with steak sauce (yes, you read that right...I'm a freak)
