Day Three

So for today I count my trip to the pool with 10 children my work out! I am so sore today from the bootcamp class I went to last night. My arms, shoulders, tummy and thighs are all sore. But through the pain, I know it is a good pain! It means I am working out those muscles!

Today my mother-in-law and me took my kids (13, 9, 6, 5 and 3 years old) with my 4 nieces (1 1/2, 6, 8 and 9 years old) and my nephew (7 years old) swimming! Not only is it exhausting to keep track of that many children in the water (which was very well watched by many lifeguards), I was in the pool with my 3 year old daughter. She did very well but we were in 3 foot of water.

Now for my almost 6ft frame, squating in 3 foot of water to walk around is good exercise. By the time we left I had worked out my thighs for hours and could barely walk.

I think I deserve to let myself off the hook to miss the gym and hopefully get there tomorrow to do some cardio. I think I will stay away from any weights and wait for next weeks bootcamp to do a true workout!

I did pretty good on my eating. Spoke with a great friend who is involved with a program; Medifast, to be on life lifestyle of healthy eating. I am trying to get myself on the right track and best track for a lifestyle change! I am not as knowledgeable on food and health as I would like to be, so I am educating myself.

So, here's for day 3, another step!
