Day 11: Just Keep Swimming

     Last night was a late one, due to DBF working on an emergency call until 1am. Yet, I was still up at 7am to make his lunch. I'm a bit tired, but nothing a few cups of coffee can't remedy. Yes, I'm still drinking it with creamer. My body appreciates the whole grain bread with peanut butter, so I have that for breakfast (yellow and tsp) at around 8:30 while packing up some containers for the day.

     I get a late start on the Pilates Fix workout - starting at around 11am - after munching down some hard boiled eggs (red). Again, this "active recovery" has made me sweat bullets. I did fewer of the modifications this time and even did some of the plank exercises on my toes, rather than my knees - go me!  After a bit of a cool down, I decide to have a bit more protein and eat some mange (purple) with greek yogurt (red). I need an H20 refill after that quick snack. Wow - that 32oz went fast! Water is going down so smoothly that DBF was a bit miffed that I drank over a gallon of the amount he had distilled yesterday -- oops.

     I don't know if it was the workout or the late night, but I'm feeling a bit tired and drained. Since DBF mentioned that he doesn't like to go in the pool alone when he gets home, I have decided to wait on my swim until later this afternoon. I hope I don't regret it - it's a gorgeous day and will be the last "hot one" for next week or so.

     I guess it's another "eat day" because I feel famished this afternoon. At the first pang of hunger, I snacked on some snap peas (green). Still unsatisfied, I went for the cucumber slices (green) and, if it's possible, I'm feeling more hungry than before. I'm drinking plenty of water, but still feeling hungry, so I follow up with some chicken (red) and sweet bell pepper slices (green) with a drizzle of balsamic and olive oil herb dressing (tsp) PLUS a baked potato (yellow) with 1/2 tbsp. butter (::gasp!::). Another refill of water - that makes 64oz down by 3pm and will easily drink the other 32.

     After a quick dip in the pool, I settle in with a margarita (we had leftovers from the weekend before). I am celebrating, as tomorrow we pick up DD from Parsons.
