My experience with the down day (dd) Freezies in the swimming pool
 

Yesterday was my second true aquasize class.
And it was a down day for me.
Let's see being in lukewarm water and low food intake in my body, what could that mean to a Juddder? Not pretty right?
Well my class is at noon.
My route is 30 mins away since I pick up a friend on my way to the gym.
I was having a little Had buzz getting ready to leave the house. So kept
eating until 10:30am. Fast drive by on my teeth an out the door I went.
My brfst was 1/2 cup of full fat cottage, left over canned asparagus, just a dab.
I added only a few bites of R. chicken thinking to help with the coldness in the pool. All 200 cal. A lot huh for me so early in the day. BUT!
IT went great! I did take a extra big towel this time to set by the pool on existing and my pretty green flip flops.
So I didn't have to touch the cold concrete..very helpful.
I even forgot to stand under the hair dryer in the locker room.
It dawned on me that I wasn't cold, wonderful feeling.
WE did the deep end of the pool w/o, a great great Ab and lung w/o.
Im so hooked n the aquatic exercise.
More good news....... When I got home I was very thirsty. So downed two classes of diet coke. Read and rested for a spell caz I was tired-refreshed all at the same time! I didn't need to eat anything until dinner. NO JOKE! 7 ish pm.
200 cal keep me all day! Ended up total of 517 cal- perfect food dd!
My first dd without broth,,,, I didn't miss it either.
This goes to show me I need to experiment more with making it thru success a dd, and up! Like others of my buds do.
I hope this is readable, I needed to share my findings with my buds.
On with my controlled UD calorie day. No stomach rumbles yet, so will go with that. I choose to l leave a mad sleeping dog lye. Not wake it until need to eat.
GOOD DAY EVERYBODY
Happy Dawn called wt. goal day!
Terri

That's great Terri! I'm still not comfortable enough to wear a swim suit with all the hard-bodies at the gym, and I really admire you for doing that class. Awesome DD!

:jumpjoy::jumpjoy::jumpjoy:
The thought of a like warm pool sends shivers through my body (it's DD here w/ wind chill of -17!)
I'm thrilled that you had a good DD and experimented a bit.
I'm also thrilled that you have the confidence to rock that swim suit- I'll keep praying on that.

OH NO!
I forgot my swim suite part.
I ware my running clothes.
Long polyester leggings, and tank top...it's warmer I do believe.
One of my friends is doing this as well. Not my clothes ha... We got her set up in her own running outfit to swim in. She looks so cute!
u dont have to be a runner to wear the clothes!
We love the coverage and it sure helps with playing like a kid fun!

:hyst::rofl:You crack me up! Your posts are like a warm ray of sunshine on a cloudy frigid day. Thanks! :D

P.S. You've got to post a photo for us to see this for ourselves!

I second SlimNana! We need a pic of this cute legging/tank-top swim gear! :D

I have been doing a mini workout in the morning at home just to get blood flowing and it seems to keep me warmer on DD. It is a medicine ball workout with some core stuff and squats, etc. Take about 10-15min and it is making me sore! But, I like that it seems to keep me warmer, at least in the morning hours.

Great job on the water classes. Keep us updated on how they are going! :up:

Ei I love that image of you in the pool in running gear, brilliant idea.

I don't think I can call you Terri, you are my Eieio, bringing of laughter and love.

So glad you had a great DD.

Eieio . . . . makes me smile every time I read that name!
Feel like a kid again. . . .
all that mooing and quacking about. . . .
yes, eieio for me too!

Funny u ask for pic... my two friends that I pool with we're talking about a before pic and after....no one wants to be in the before pic.
So who will that work! They are a hoot.
I'll get a pic for sure. But posting it, that's a problem.
I did finally open up a account with iCloud, u think that I'll help me post here?
