Making Progress

Today I did strength training and went to the pool to swim. I made it 10 laps, which was about 25 minutes, before I was too tired to go any further. Sorry to say I didn't do as well the last two days, but something is better than nothing and at least I am moving in the right direction. My weights have increased a little at the gym on about 1/3 of the machines I'm using.

This week I made a curried peanut soup that I didn't like well enough to finish, but I also made a garlic broth that was really excellent and I think will become a favorite. Also, I roasted tomatoes and fennel and both were, I thought, very satisfying. For lunch I've gotten used to a multigrain tortilla with refried beans, hot sauce and a little cheese - while I'm aiming for vegan I find cheese by far the hardest to give up! And beans without cheese...are pretty boring. I also usually have an apple, maybe with some peanut butter.
