Week of April 27 to May 1st

So this week has flown by and has been hectic. I never wrote down what I ate but stuck to the plan, can't really remember blowing it as far as eating goes. Not enough time in the day have to create it to get this blog done nightly.  

Exercise was fine: 

Monday I ran for 43 mins, but unfortunately tweeked my right knee which has influenced  my exercise the remainder of this week

Tuesday swam for 1950 metres

Wednesday my knee was too swollen so I took the day off

Thursday night swam 1750 metres

Haven't gotten the weights in this week and it's not good. Have really noticed that my swimming has improved from lifting the weights. I feel much stronger in the water.

Friday went away for the weekend. Was concerned about eating seeing as we'd be eating out the whole weekend. I tried to stick to eating salads, salmon etc. wiped off any sauces, asked for dressing on the side etc. Did my best but boy is it hard to eat a restaurant and still be good. So many temptations but I think I did pretty good. I'm sure the caloric intake was higher than it should have been. In the end when I came home I expected to have gained weight but was pleasantly surprised. As far as exercise went, I tried to jog for about 20 mins. to see how knee would make out, was okay but not great. We walked everywhere we went which was good.

Sunday was drive home day so no exercise again.

I'm home for the next three days so I have to be especially good as I head off again for 4 days with girlfriends for a weekend away (Mother's Day treat). Another challenge ahead again.
