Water Baby

I am such a water baby – I went to the Y to swim today, trying to rest/strengthen ye olde knee, and it was WONDERFUL!

I can’t swim like I am supposed to, and I am looking for some adult swimming lessons, but the point is that I was in the water moving and my heart rate was up for 45 minutes. And as I was kicking ass in the backstroke, I heard and felt something in my knee POP and I think it was something popping back into place, since now it feels sore instead of EXCRUCIATING FREAKING PAIN every time I take at step.  So. YAY!

Eating:

Breakfast – Panera. I gotta say, they give the impression of being a healthy place to eat, but their lack of healthy – whole grain, lean protein choices for breakfast makes me think twice. I ended up with a sauage and potato egg souffle and a fruit cup.  I probably should have had a half whole wheat bagel and peanut butter.   I had a small coffee with splenda and skim.  But I do have to say that this was healthier than my typical Panera brekfast – cinnamon crunch bagel and egg souffle and large coffee with half and half!

Lunch – ham and tukey on whole wheat

Dinner – (Tukey) Italian sausage and peppers, whole wheat pasta and salad.

I went to TJ’s today (Trader Joes!) and got some whole wheat tortillas to make wraps with for lunch! :)

Here’s an interesting article…
