Nov 1st - day # 1
Well today was a fresh start for me.
Yup I went to the hot springs this am. I did some exercises first - 
side leg lifts- rear leg lifts - squats (all in the water)
ThenrnI did 25 mins of laps. It was hard staying in my lane though as thernsteam was coming off the water alot as the sun was coming out over thernmountain tops. I did some laps just using my legs and no arms. Boy wasrnthat hard! But felt good. I feel so wonderful after that work out. Itrnwas a total of 45mins of work out and then 
rnA bit of a relaxing soak. Yes I know I will continue with this.rnDH also enjoyed it. My meals were good today but I madernhomemade soup and used white noodles in it. I have to get some wholernwheat noodles as I find the white flour noodles drain my energy laterrnin the day. I did take a psyluim fiber with it just to help with therndigestion of it.
rnWell Jo is doing a 33 lbs by 33. Well I think that is such a fantastic idea - however….
beingrnthat I have passed the 33 mark - I am going to join Jo by doing rntotal of 47 lbs by 47 (march ) so that means I still have 24 to go!rnAprox 17 weeks to do it. Yes that Jo is a real motivater!
. So all in all I had a good day. I hope all of you do also

Wow, Char - talk about taking the plunge. From no exercise to a good round of swimming like that. Glad that you enjoyed it and will be going back - even more that your hubby can join you. Way to go on setting that goal - you’ll make it!

What a great challenge for yourself!? I think that’ll be great to help you get through the holidays!

Swimming, sounds fun! I am a good swimmer that doesn’t currently have access to a pool. You are doing good preparing your food ahead when you are working so you have healthy food to eat there. I have had some problems eating right when I work in an office, there are always so many temptations to get you off track from healthy eating. I am preparing to work in the tax office durring tax season in the winter I am hoping I will not mess up on my healthy lifestyle durring that time. There are lots of? big people who work in the tax industry that have a hard time eating right, but? there are also people who do eat right too.
