Fabulous weekend and new routine

I just had the best weekend in ages when it came to my food choices. My only dubious choice was Saturday night tea- Indian takeaway! I did make the best choice off the menu (spinach/cottage cheese curry- Palak paneer) and went easy on the rice, but still it would have been extra calories I could have done without. And I finally went for a swim. So glad I did! I was absolutely crap at it, but I could feel my heart rate was through the roof, so happy to be doing something like that doesn't hurt me afterwards like running. Looking forward to incorporating it into my regular routine. The routine I have come up with is:

Monday: Crosstrainer/bike + weights
Tuesday: Swim
Wednesday Pilates
Thursday: Crosstrainer/bike + weights
Friday: Yoga
Saturday or Sunday: Rest day and swim

I am really happy with the balance in this program- cardio, strength and flexibility training, all low impact on my sore and battered body.
