25 Days...You can find workouts all around you!

What a fun day! We had a healthy breakfast a the hotel with low-fat yogurt, fruit, a veggie omelet made with egg beaters and spiced chai tea then headed off to take my chart and order form masters to an Office Max for copies. We walk the stairs at the hotel all the time and make a game with the girls about not taking the elevator.

After we left the Office Max, we took the girls downtown to Discovery Place and had a wonderful 5 hours of exploring the hands-on science centre. There were workout opportunities everywhere from hauling our own body weight as we sat in a chair and pulled hand over hand on a rope and pulley system... to peddling bikes to generate sound, power and enough air currents to make things float... to seeing how long you could hold a chin-up pose for (I liked the bar to do a few hanging ab moves).. to racing our kids up a 3 flight spiral staircase on several occasions.

We found a healthy section on the menu at a restaurant later in the day too, so there is hope for keeping on track. Most of the snacks during the Manager's hour here at the hotel are very salty and not very healthy, so I picked up some low-cal popcorn to nibble on tomorrow night so that I don't feel deprived or puffy... what horrible alternatives!

Nick and I are going to spell each other later tonight so that the other can either workout or swim. I think I may just pull out my powerband and try to see if I can do more push-ups etc. than yesterday. What me... Competitive?
