Pool workouts are exhausting.
I mean, really, really tiring.
I think I passed out last night around 8:30.
seriously
Here is what my pool workouts look like..
Warm up: 15 minute easy pool jog
1 minute hard, 1 minute easy
2 minutes hard, 2 minutes easy
3 minutes hard, 3 minute easy
4 minutes hard, 4 minutes easy
5 minutes hard
Cool down: 15 minute easy pool jog
Tread with Arms only for 2 minutes and then repeat session.
End with a 15 minute free style swim.
Time to start our WIAW.
Yesterday started early, around 6:20, when my adorable hubby woke me up with breakfast in bed. #lovehim
He had made me eggs and tea after his long run.
After gobbling them up, I threw my bathing suit on headed to my morning workout.
I needed a bit more than eggs, so I made this to go.
Breakfast: eggs w/cheddar, tea, 1/2 Ezekiel English muffin, sweet potatoes and green onions
Our friends recently moved into a house and they have a very clean and peaceful pool.
It’s been my new workout spot this week.
Check out the video and listen to all the beautiful bird noises we hear in Trinidad.
Lunch – Garden Chicken Chili and POPCORNERS cheesy jalapeno chips
side note: Have you had these chips yet? SO GOOD, I’m addicted
snack – mini cabbage lentil soup and 4 sugar free twizzlers
Dinner – make your own salad bar and pierogis
not pictured: glass of Sauvignon Blanc
That was my day in a nutshell.
But…something exciting is happening today!
Promise to tell you all about it tomorrow…
Enjoy your day lovelies!

First of all, I want that pool. Second of all, I have to admit that while we do have a pool, there are no chirping birds or awesome sounds of nature that come with it. Third, our animal noises include a dog barking, and these annoying little “birds” that crow in our woods. Lol.

Thanks for stopping by Jen! The pool workout is a keeper…always tires me out!
I love Twizzlers, can never keep myself to one serving though. T always says they taste like plastic so i don’t even have anyone to share the bag with me. Love mashed sweet potato on quesadillas and toast.

LOL, they are addicting.
Ooh…smashed sweet potato on quesadillas sounds delicious!
Your pool workout sounds intense. I tried to do some pool “running” when I had my boot (I could take it off here and there) but I didn’t have anything to keep me afloat and I still felt like I was putting too much weight down so I just stuck to straight-up swimming.
Sugar free twizzlers??? I didn’t know there was such a thing – are they any good?

They are pretty intense…and tiring. I love it though. Yes, they make sugar free twizzlers, they taste just like regular ones…delicious!
Wow this looks like a day of good food. What a lovely hubby, I think it always tastes better when cooked by someone else . I am in awe of your works out, I only recently started exercising, so I’m always on the look out for new ideas. Stupid question I know but, is pool running like running on the spot in the water or running through?
