Here we are ending one of the toughest weeks I have had since this
journey has started. Allergy season has started and mine have been
completely out of control. It has been an adjustment in regards to the
workouts without a doubt. The weather has been perfect and all
activities lead to being outside in the sunshine. I enrolled in a
swimming class with the family and it has been great to have a
low-impact workout 2 days a week. It is much harder swimming 32 laps (1
mile) than I have ever imagined but, my upper and lower body have
tolerated it. I am also playing tennis twice a week to mix it up a bit
more. I am going to buy a pair of rollerblades and start working
different muscle groups each day. It helps not getting bored with the
workout routine (Thanks again Maria Hicks!!!) The hardest part of the
week is the BBQs, picnics and outdoor parties going on at this time of
year. I have been really trying to avoid all of the great summer
seasonal foods but, I caved in a few times this weekend. That explains
the couple of pounds I have gained. I am at a plateau and I can't
afford to be at one at this point in the journey. I am going to make
sure that I eat a healthy meal before going to these events so that I
will not be hungry when I get there. I need to fight through this and
take it to another level. Harder workouts, lots of water and watching
what I eat better should help me get through this.
