Cheese!

No "Say cheese" today.  I forgot to take any pictures.  Really didn't have anything spectacular to photography anyway - traditional fare.  Gary was home today.  I made scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, and grapefruit for breakfast.  Got the grapefruit at Krogers.  Really good grapefruit.  Wish I bought more than one.  We usually order from Dooley Groves in Ruskin, Florida each year, but they have gotten so expensive, and we can almost always find decent grapefruit and oranges here now.

Lunch was some summer sausage (no antibiotics, etc.), nut crackers (gluten-free), and cottage cheese. 

We went to the gym mid-afternoon.  Gary worked out and I swam.  The pool at the gym has been broken for a couple weeks.  It felt so good to get back in the water.  Aahhh...  I'm so nerdy in the water.  Never learned to swim the breaststroke, so I use a mask and snorkel.  Oh well.  Whatever gets the job done.  I also use fins.  That really sounds like cheating, but the fins work the legs big time - more resistance.  The snorkel makes me BREATHE!  I always thought it was a work-out.  That was verified when I read that some swim teams use them to practice with, because it causes you really work your lungs.  

Here's the thing about eating summer sausage before swimming:  you belch summer sausage into your snorkle!

I did forty minutes of laps in the pool and then some stretching.

Dinner was steak and salad with oil & vinegar.  

I still have some of those energy bites.  Had one after my swim.  They really are yummy.

My snorkle is one that rides in the front of the face.  Typically a snorkle is on the side of the head.  That allows water to get in easier.  The kind I have bends back over my face/head.  It has a band that rides on the forehead and a strap that goes around the head.  Doesn't attach to the mask like a regular snorkle.  This doesn't exactly show it clearly, but this is like mine.  Mouthpiece goes in and snorkle goes up the front of the face and towards the back of the head.
