Summer Challenge Day 17

Today has been a bit challenging for me to get motivated. I got up at my normal time and had planned to cycling, but Celeste had company last night and evidently they stayed up too late because my earlier riser wasn't moving and I need her to keep an eye on Autumn while I ride...so I messed around the house, had some breakfast...cheerios with almond milk and a banana...then once she got up we were off to look for a bathing suit top for her...so no ride this morning...

Got back and dropped the gang off and headed to they gym for a full body weight workout, then a zumba class. This was a good class. I really enjoyed it and I am excited that this instructor is going to start teaching a regular zumba class as of this Friday...the class today was a beginners class and it is starting to seem pretty easy...glad there will now be more intense zumba classes at my gym on multiple days....the only thing with the Friday class is it will be right after my kickboxing class! There should be another full body st session in there as well, but I think it will get moved to Saturday when I have no classes! The only thing about my gym is the class schedule changes monthly and so I have to adjust to work around the classes I am doing, but it is all good...love more class options!

I spent a couple of hours playing with Autumn in the pool and while it is not really lap swimming, she is getting to the point that we do swim a good bit together. Today it was holding hands and swimming under water...we have some play time as well. She loves to be thrown in the pool now...or lifted up to the sky and then kinda dropped in the pool. I get on my knees and lift her up in the air, then bring her to about chest level and drop her...it is kinda like a military press with her! Loving this time with my girls this summer!

Lunch was a grab and go. Celeste made me a sandwich on whole wheat, turkey, avacado and tomato...snackage was veggie straws and a green tea...

Dinner tonight was turkey burgers with all the veggie toppings on a whole wheat bun...

I met another lady at the gym today that is doing the Tri I plan to do. She told me there was a training plan available for free download...I thought cool! having never done a tri, it is challenging to know how to balance all the sports and strength training and classes. I came home and checked out the plan...I think I will use it as a model for what I am doing, but this plan is assuming you have no base in the sports...I can ride 15 miles and easily run the 5k, where I am weak is swimming so that really needs to become a focal point for me...working on the details of a plan now and trying to keep it doable...but at the same time, not wanting to drop my distance for long runs...always that possible full later to look at...lol...

Over all it has been a good day. Now I am off to relax and get some sleep...
