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

Eieio · 01-24-2013, 06:18 AM

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!

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!

Carly · 01-24-2013, 07:47 AM

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.

Eieio · 01-24-2013, 08:19 AM

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!

SlimNana · 01-24-2013, 08:53 AM

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

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!

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!

Kissa · 01-25-2013, 04:45 AM

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. . . .

Eieio · 01-25-2013, 11:49 AM

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.
