I caved..

And caved and caved. I have been bad this week. Easter is an awful holiday to be on a diet. Tonight I made Cadbury cookies. And they are delish. I am taking them to work tomorrow and saving some for our family picnic on Saturday. So hopefully next week will be a better week for me!

Top 10 Reasons Swimming is a Great Work Out

This week I started teaching semi-private swim lessons Monday and Wednesday nights at the Park City Aquatic Center.  The center is actually connected to the middle school where I teach, and I found out Monday that because I am a teacher, I actually swim for free (It's usually $4 for an adult)! Awesome!

Tonight Brian came with me to observe and practice some teaching techniques, and then we stayed after to swim laps.  Here is why swimming is on of my favorite workouts...

1. You don't realize you're sweating.
2. It works practically every muscle in your body.
3. But it's also great cardio.
4. It's low impact, which equals no joint pain.
5. Swimming is believed to reduce stress.
6. It doesn't really feel like exercise.
7. It gives you a great physique and toned body.
8. It gives you endorphins, and endorphins make you happy.
9. It's great for cross training.
10. I just love it!!!!

The camera doesn't lie...

Brian and I checked out Provo Beach Resort and more specifically their indoor flowrider this weekend. Nothing like seeing pictures of yourself in a bathing suit to increase your motivation!
I have a month and a half before I will be sporting a bathing suit all day every day...let the weight loss begin!

Good News

I have lost 3 pounds. Now to keep it up!

..What we attempted to make..

So the other night Charlie and I attempted to make homemade lasagna. I even cut my finger trying to shred the mozzarella cheese, and of course we didn't have Band-Aids. He came home from work and the first thing out of my mouth was "I am a horrible cook... save what I have done!" Guess what-- He did! It actually turned out pretty darn good! We ate it with some caesar salad.

So Yummy:)

Fruit Juice: Good or Bad?

Either way...it tastes delicious!

Bri and I got out our Bullet Express Juicer yesterday and decided to give it a test run. We combined a
-mini watermelon
-2 mangos
-2 bunches of red grapes

The watermelon was just a little overwhelming, so I would recommend using just half a mini watermelon. It was a juicy, delicious, expensive, refreshing mess. :) We definitely plan on juicing again, although probably using an actual recipe.

In other news...I went running today!  Only about a mile, but hey it's a start.
