I really stretched myself this week by teaching water aerobics to the women gathered at my friend's timeshare in Vermont. I just put together bits and pieces of the classes I've been taking at the Y and did a good mix of cardio, toning, and flexibility work for 45 minutes. I had them all gasping for breath at times and groaning, which was great, and after her first time, one of the women asked if I teach water aerobics back home. What a compliment! If I can be mistaken for an aerobics instructor at 470+ pounds, imagine what I'll accomplish at a healthy weight!!!0

We finally have sun in our region!!! The hubby and I went biking, although my butt told me I'm still sore, so I only did 2km in 30 to 40 minutes. He's still out there biking away. I am the world's slowest cyclist. :blushing: But it's better than sitting on my butt at home. Although drinks on a patio was pretty tempting. :drinker:
Waiting for some fresh corn on the cob to steam and rice as well. Snacking on a strawberry yogurt cup.0 -
