Summer Challenge Day 1

Awesome day!! I have really kicked it up today! I got up at 7am this morning and enjoyed a healthy bowl of cream of wheat with flaxseed, blueberries and vanilla whey protein...blueberries and cream, cream of wheat....yummy way to start the day...then I grabbed a water bottle and headed to the gym for an 8:15 Zumba class

Then I headed home to pick up the kiddos to go back to the pool. WHile I was at home I enjoyed some greek yogurt and blueberries.

When we got back to the YMCA, the pool was closed because of storms and I had time to kill...so I took a 30 minute walk outside to fill the time...I am guessing that was around 2 miles...just an easy walk. Then back to the pool. I got about 20 minutes of swimming laps in before I had to pick my youngest up from her class, then it was play time in the pool. My 5 year old actually swam a couple of laps with me! That was fun!

While we were hanging out at the pool, I munched on a ham sandwhich made on on all natural whole wheat bread, with avocado mayo and tomatoe, freeze dried veggie chips and grapes....this was lunch and snackage for the afternoon...

Then we headed home. I finally got to try bison. I grilled bison burgers and we had mushrooms on the side. This was awesome! The Bison burger was topped with avacodo mayo, tomato, romaine lettuce, onion and pickles, served on a whole wheat bun....I really enjoyed this. It is awesome to have a clean burger that I can enjoy! the kids loved it too!

After dinner we headed to the park for the kiddos to play and mommy to do some run intervals...3 miles of run intervals...run .25 mile, all out run, walk .25 miles...working on speed. Not sure right now what I want to do with running, but for now I am training like I will race this fall...only time will tell...

Came back from the park and did 20 minutes of a yoga dvd and then some stretching...my five year old joined me for this...that was really fun! She was trying so hard!

Fluids today has been water, coffee and green tea...no soda!!!!
