Struggling a bit. . .

I am struggling a bit. Food is much harder for me when working out isn't going well.

I did swim this morning and pushed myself hard (as hard as I could sharing a lane with a man who wasn't too into sharing a lane - thankful I didn't knock him out with my crazy butterfly or knock myself out with my drifting backstroke!) I plan on going to body pump tomorrow morning and just doing squats/lunges with no weights and see how the knee feels. If it twinges even a hint, I will just quit that track and do crunches until the next one. Bottom line is that my legs are super strong anyway (although I'd like to tone them up) but I need body pump for my chest, shoulder, back, arms. . . CORE. I am happy to have this plan going for this week - swim M/W/F, body pump T/Th plus another cardio on T/Th (probably elliptical).

I have dinner in the crockpot this afternoon since I have to tutor so score 1 for better eating. I made chili mac with lean ground beef and whole wheat elbows. It smells great.

I have another whole post to write about flower's 6th birthday, a visit we made last week to our old stomping grounds, and my search for my life's work. . . maybe that is actually 3 posts. . . but i have tutoring and laundry and math questions to write. . .
