I slept in today until 8:30!! No migraine!!! (Thank the good Lord because that was a 3-day stint of migraines!)
I ate 1/2 an apple and almond butter for breakfast and went and worked out with water aerobics and some of my team. As it turns out, 1/2 an apple and almond butter are great as a snack, but not as breakfast or fuel before a big workout! I was hungry early on...
Water aerobics... sounds easy? NOT. It was difficult - maybe because of my low lung capacity, maybe because I'm out of shape, maybe because I wasn't ready - or some combo of the 3, but it worked me out hard and I loved it :)
Sign of a great work out: when you lift your hands/arms to suds up your hair with shampoo and your arms are quivering in protest... of course I used the heaviest dumb bells in the class... and I pushed it extra hard to make up for missing yesterday. But I feel GREAT.
Why does everyone work out all the time? Because it gives you a great high-on-life feeling :)
Lunch = home-made chili soup type thing with no salt added and it was tasty... and I went to the grocery store to stock up on bananas, almond butter, eggs, and plain low fat greek yogurt :) Good to go for week!
