I have a new paradigm for water aerobics. Yesterday when I did the laps back and forth, I enjoyed the aerobic effect so much that today I did the aerobics back and forth with the noon class but when they switched to toning, I excused myself and water walked and jogged laps on the short course at the deep end.
I did better today than yesterday - I water walked and other strokes for 20 laps (wonder if I over-counted - that sounds like a lot and 35 on the short course is a mile) on the short course in a half hour. I wasn't actually in a lap lane but swam right beside the last lane. The Master swimmers are amazing to watch. It's like watching the Olympics!
I hope I didn't insult the teacher. I explained that I would be doing my toning at home with my weights for the health of my bones. I really, really like the teacher and I like the toning and stretching but, in order not to stay in the water so long, I have to use the last half hour of the class for aerobics. I stretched on my own and was out of the water by 1:15pm.
I came home and did a Kathy Smith tape with weights.
I made a potage of black beans, onions, garlic, acorn squash and cabbage. I'll freeze some but I'll be eating it for a long time!
The acorn squash seeds were delish - especially since I didn't burn them this time.
Grandson came over for an hour while daughter went to the Y to exercise. He lost a tooth while he was here so the tooth fairy gave him $2. He'll collect more from his Mom and Dad.
