Our Exercise For The Day

I swam for an hour. I swim laps on Saturdays while Iris has her swimming lessons. Today she decided I was a horse in 10 feet of water. She sat on my back and kept yelling giddy up horsey!!!! Not sure how but I managed to swim 10 yards with a 55 pound "monkey" on my back. By the time I made it to the 5 foot marker and could reach bottom the lifeguards who are friends of mine were laughing at me. And during lessons Iris was swimming in the lane next to me and wanted to keep racing me to the other end. For only being 6 that girl can swim. She out swims the 9 and 10 yr olds in her class. I managed to barely keep up with her but my legs burned by the end of the hour. I probably swam more like vigorous than light to moderate but that's ok. It was a great burn and I felt it at the end.

So today I decided to try to get to the pool and swim. What annoys me is the pool doesn't open until 11 am. By then my day is half over. And being as how I am leaving tomorrow I have a ton of stuff to do today. I have laundry, dishes to hand wash because the dishwasher element is out, mop the kitchen floor, fix 10 costume pieces for the nutcracker, cook dinner, get my girls out around the town selling Girl Scout candies and nuts, pack my bag, bathe and brush the dog. But despite the long list I managed to swim for an hour today. Oh I forgot to mention I am getting 45 pounds (yes that is correct and not a typo) of shrimp tonight. I have to get them peeled and vacuum packed tonight before I leave. If I have to stay up all night that is ok. I can sleep on the plane. 20 pounds of shrimp is my parents Christmas present. The other 25 pounds is for us but that is the first installment of shrimp for us. We usually get 50 pounds for us. We love it can you tell. Well, I have spent enough time resting my fingers from sewing on costumes. Back to the grindstone.............

So I managed to swim for an hour. I peeled 45 pounds of shrimp and packaged them up in meal portions. Finished packing my bag. Fixed 6 costumes. Washed 4 loads of laundry. And took my Girl Scouts around the town selling nuts and candies. (I sewed on costumes while I waited for them to go door to door). I'm tired. Can't wait till tomorrow. GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!

Holy cow. I'm STILL exhausted just reading your daily antics!!
This morning was weights, back and biceps. And I had some extra time, so I threw in a 10 minute run. This afternoon is my lunchtime walk.0 -

I did a regular (not 55 & older) spin class today that lasted 1 hour instead of 45 mins. Really invigorating. Then I went outside for 2 hours and started cleaning up the limbs, twigs and leaves from our week-end storm. Oh and after spin, I went by my dad's house and helped my brother clean some more out of one of dad's garages. I have already gotten in 14,963 steps but that will be just about it since I am beat!!! Ready for some TV, reading and knitting on the sofa.0

A young new instructor just starting out. It was supposed to be a beginner class but when she saw we
were experienced Yogies she changed the format and worked our butts.0 -

6.13 miles of shopping. For some reason I feel like I walked twice that far. Shopping should really count for double calories............. At least the aggravation should count for something............

My exercise was just a little shopping and shuffling. Well. Cards that is. We went over to my aunt and uncles house to spend the night. We invited a friend of theirs to come join us and we played pinochle until dinner time then we took them out for dinner and came home to play more pinochle. After the friend went home we played cribbage until we were too tired to play any more. We had a great time.0
