Summer Challenge Day 10

Today has been a good and productive day! I got to sleep a little later this morning....that is always good! I had leftover whey protien pancakes with all natural peanut butter and banana for breakfast. I headed to the store to get gogggles for my 14 year old, Celeste. Decided to get a new bathing suit while I was there...They had one on sale that I liked...it is a two piece for the up coming 4th celebreations...I, like most of us, have always hated shopping for a bathing suit...I actually enjoyed this today! It was fun especially when I had to down size from the size I first tried on! I love it!! :)

Then I headed to the gym to get my lower body workout and running in before my zumba class...I did squats, lunges, leg press, calve press, leg curls, hip abductors and hip adduction, plus some ab work...I ran intervals for 35 minutes and then went to zumba. My BFF joined me for this class again! It was fun! It is getting easier as I learn the routine and kinda know what is coming! I was also trying out some new cross trainer shoes for this class..

After the workout, I came home to get the girls to go to the pool. Celeste had my strawberries and cashews ready for me with a big bottle of water. She had packed a lunch for me in the cooler consisting of a turkey breast, sweet potato and some Greek yogurt for my afternoon snack! She is good. She really pays attention to what I eat and when I eat it! Autumn, the 5 year old, actually helped eat the cashews and strawberries...she loves both.

We enjoyed and afternoon of playing in the pool and then came home to clean house and let mommy study! If all goes well, in another 6-8 weeks I will be a certified personal trainer! Celeste is my biggest advocate for this. She thinks it is cool that mom is so into fitness and stuff!

for dinner we decided to have egg white omlettes with spinach, mushrooms, onions, tomatos and feta...with a slice of all natural 12 grain bread.

I received an e-mail from Jeff galloway about a new free download he has for 1:1 run/walk intervals, so I downloaded that and put it on my ipod...not sure if a marathon is in the picture or not, but if it is I think I will use Galloway's method and do intervals...currently I am focusing on a tri...we will see what comes next, but for now I am planning to continue to build my run miles every other week so if I decide to do the full I can...

Now I am off to do yoga and then a warm bath and some reading before bed...

Hope it has been an awesome day for everyone...

My thought today....If you don't dream, you will never reach beyond your comfort zone to try something new...you will never know what might have been...so dream BIG!
