Exercise...

OMG, I totally get why they don't want you to work out. I did. I was working on lifeguard certification. Stop laughing. It wasn't that funny. I know I'm not typically who you'd expect to go after that, but I think it's going to be a great job. I'm really excited to start.

So, after swimming what felt like a hundred miles (which my awesome new boss swam with me), and all the other physical things you do, I was shaking. In serious need of protein. So, I called the Smart for Life office to pose a "hypothetical situation" and ask for "hypothetical advice." ;) Yes, I was in deed correct, supplement some protein. So, I had 120 cal soy protein shake. When I was still shaking 25 minutes later, I had a small handful of nuts. I know, they aren't on the list. I wasn't all about to make anything that took effort and they were on the counter (thank you DH who also btw, had me drive his car last night which had a stash of hershey kisses with toffee on the passenger seat- cruel).

Oh, the other interesting part of my week...I'm apparently allergic to the adhesive in bandaids. I've tried a few brands. It hurts.

I know we're not supposed to have fruit, but a bannana before you work out does wonders for preventing the shakes. You'll more than likely burn off all the sugar in it during the workout anyway, and the protien they reccomend is for the recovery aspect. If they haven't told you at the office yet, Gatorade Propel water is great for replacing the electrolites lost during a workout(we can only have 2 bottles though). Good job on the swimming. All the friends ive made at the local office said they have gotten amazing results from swimming, Im going to have to give it a shot!! I played in a hockey game last night, and I thought I was going to pass out afterwards... I too now know why they dont want you to work out. LOL!! Keep up the great work. Oh, and just because I have to tell someone (other than my wife, who will kill me!!)... I had a glazed donut this morning... There goes any weight loss that would have happened today...
