workouts and cooking and scuba

I've been on a diet for a week, first time EVER thanks to p90x. It's not so bad, like the hardest workout for me is the yoga, but the hardest thing for me is cooking food that fits my tastes. Today I made a creamy pepper soup, beet soup, and poached some chicken for tomorrow. Tonight's dinner though I'm excited about. It's ground turkey with chopped mushrooms and shallots, and that's going on a sadly small portion of noodles, with a small scoop of cheese mixed in. The biggest thing I miss is FRUIT. I only get one serving. I was never a big veggie person, but now I'm eating 4 of those a day. That's hard to do! anywho.

I had the in-pool version of my scuba certification. I have to learn to breath deeper, I had a hard time on the buoyancy portion of the test because I couldn't take in a deep enough breath to lift myself up in the water. Then I did it but after 10 minutes of concentrating on breathing in and out at an even pace. I've never thought about how I breathe, except when singing. Apparently I'm a shallow breather when I'm not thinking. Or I hold my breath which is a scuba no-no.
I'll get it down before my open water!
