I had a good workout week. Although I didn't make it to the Wednesday water class this week, I did more treadmill work. My incline is getting up to 4.5. I'm shooting for 5. Tuesday night I went for a long walk in the snow. I love walking after a snow! It's so calm out, and you get such a better workout trudging through the white stuff. My goal I have set with Teri my trainer is to walk 5 miles before I meet with her next week. Also to write down 20 of my favorite 'not so healthy' foods, then come up with healthier ways to make those foods. I'm just starting to work on that, so I'll let you know what I come up with.

I said I would share a couple of my favorite snacks - One of my favs is 1/2 Stonyfield Plain Lowfat Yogurt + 1/2 packet of Trader Joe's Omega Trek Mix (nuts, seeds, dried cranberries) I'm a fan of peanut butter, so another snack will be 1/2 apple, or 1/2 banana, or celery with 1/2 Tbls. Organic Unsweetened Peanut Butter. I try to keep snacks around 100 calories. (It's amazing how far 1/2 Tbls. of PB will go.) If I don't fuel by body inbetween meals, I am way too hungry at mealtime, plus it's better so the body doesn't go into starvation mode!

There's a first time for everything...

Yes, I did it. I got up at 7am on a Sunday to get to Harbor for Marie's Aqua Aerobics class! I have been dreading getting up so early on the weekends, but have found that if I want to take certain classes I have to become a morning person! I must admit it felt really great to get in that pool with the sun shining in and have so many other women ready to start their days with a work out as well. This is definitely more aerobic than the Ai Chi class, and the two classes will be a good routine for me each week.
