Summer Challenge Day 9

This is going to be short and sweet tonight. I am having major internet issues today so while I have signal and before I lose it again I am going to try to post this.

I got up early this morning and had oatmeal with blueberries and flax seed, with 2 scrambled egg whites for breakfast. We packed lunch and snacks and headed to the YMCA so I could workout before Autumn's swim lesson...I did an upper body workout...chest and back and some abs....then I went outside for a run...only ran about a mile then had to walk...it was too hot to run! Next came kickboxing! I love this class...still not sure what I am doing, but it is fun and I feel it...so all is good! The instructor is great about explaining what is going on and encouraging you where you are...today she was using bands in the punches, but told the newbies not to...then she brought me one to try...it was good! Made it more intense! I like intense!

While Autumn had her swim lesson, I sipped on a protien shake made with almond milk and chocolate whey protien...then it was swim time...this was the most amazing thing today. My 5 year old, who has been afraid to put her face in the water, decided she could do it...not only did she get her whole head under water, she took off swimming under water!! NO JOKE!! It was all I could do to get her to stay above the surface to tell her I was proud of her...the head life guard said to lose the life vest, she was ready and that was all it took!

We munched on our usual pool snacks...greek yogurt, grapes, I think I had part of liff bar too...

Came home made half a sandwhich with turkey, tomoto, spinach and avacado..

Dinner was oatmeal pancakes made with vanilla whey protien and topped with strawberries...yummy!!

Went for a short bike ride this evening...had hoped for 10 mile, got about 8...storms moving in forced me back home!...now off to do some yoga and then a warm bath and reading...

Night everyone!

ps...sorry not that short! You know me...I like to talk (write)!
