Friday, Week 20

Thanksgiving at our house was a success. It was a small, intimate gathering. Everyone seemed to have a good day, and it was stress free. I probably ate a lot less than I normally would have. I definitely drank much less (which is good). But, I did splurge some and even had some pie. But, today it's back to the routine. In fact, I'm going to go lower calorie today (targeting around 1000). Some of the estimates from yesterday could have easily been low, so I want to balance things out.

Going to the gym with my friend yesterday was a lot of fun. We even went swimming! It was more of a cardio workout than I had remembered. The gym had a lap pool with 3 long laps. Luckily, it wasn't crowded, so we were each able to get our own laps. I did all the strokes I could remember - normal, breast, butterfly, and the 2 back strokes (not sure of the names). I know there are more, but I never had much formal swimming training, so I don't know them. I might research on the internet.

Today, I'm going do the Body Jam class. I'm hoping it's a fun cardio workout. I rounded out blasting my back and bicep muscles yesterday, so it's definitely a cardio day. The only strength training I could see doing is abs. But, I'll probably wait for tomorrow on that.

The Body Jam Class was awesome. It was a great workout. Plus, it was fun. I was lucky to have someone who knew all the routines right in front of me, so I was able to catch on and really give it my all. Then, a lot of the people were going right into the Body Flow class, so I did that too. It was a good stretching/cool-down (although there were some intense pilates moves in there for the core, too).
