What a day - the key is relaxation!

It's been a very relaxing day - first staying in bed on the computer 'til way in the afternoon, then getting a lovely one hour massage, then my first yoga class. Most of the time on the computer today was getting used to the sparkpeople.com site and planning meals for this week. It's such a great site and I can't wait to find out more about what's available there. I didn't get my strength training done today, but I did manage to almost meet my cardio goal for the day. The yoga class was interesting - we did a lot of stretching and yoga moves and then a ten minute relaxing time at the end of the class. It didn't seem like I was getting much of a workout, but my arms and legs are telling me different. I must have really given my body a great workout during that hour. I love the last ten minutes as well - it's hard to truly relax your body, but, believe me, my body was so relaxed, it was hard to get up and get moving at the end of the class. I did get a ten minute walk in today and drink my two litres of water, plus I kept within my calorie and grams of fat goals, so I would say it's been quite a good day in all. Mike has also signed up on sparkpeople.com and he's excited about following the programs he has signed up for. I'm excited that he's excited - hopefully the two of us can lose weight, become fit and stay healthy. :-) Today's menu: breakfast - shreddies, raisins, milk, lunch - egg salad sandwich, green pepper strips, cucumber slices, supper - jacket potato, sour cream, cheese, barbecued chicken, corn.
