Workout: Lap swim 30:00
# of laps: 40 lengths/20 full laps
Ahhh the boys swim team was not there this morning and I felt so much better :) I still feel like kind of an idiot even with just the high school life guard sitting there watching. I'm so out of my element - I have no idea what I'm doing or what is normal and I'm not good and have to rest and I can't keep my goggles from getting fogged up. But I do it and its a good work out and ultimately that is all that matters.
I swam 10 lengths of breast stroke before taking a short rest to check my time. Then swam two lengths of back stroke. I repeated that 3 times and then did a final 4 lengths of breast stroke to finish at 40 lengths. My full time was 31:14.
I tried to do a front crawl at one point and I don't think I even made it halfway through one length before I switched back to breast stroke. It was so difficult and I was gasping for breath - i couldn't continue. So I guess front crawl is definitely out unless i can get some time in a friend's pool to practice it a little more.
Right now I'm definitely feeling very fatigued, physically. My upper body is tired. I can feel a tension headache wanting to bust through, my right tricep, forearm, wrist and hand are aching. The pool is closed for the next 3 weeks. I enjoy it, but that forced break is going to give me some time to evaluate and try to figure out what kind of swimming/running schedule I want to do. Not sure what a good mix will be.
Weighed myself this morning after 2 weeks of weight watchers. I'm slightly pissed about it. I hate dieting. I hate being hungry. I have restricting myself. I hate the fact that I have no options if we want to go out for dinner. I hate that I have only 5 pounds to lose, but can't seem to take it off. Either I'm not doing something right, or I'm not willing to do what is necessary. I have a hard time believing I'm eating too much - I'm sticking to my points every day. The only thing that could be an issue is that I eat a decent amount of fruit everyday - its all 0 points, but maybe its not a good idea to eat watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, nectarine & a banana all in one day? I don't know. very aggravated about it. Maybe I should just be fat.

Why wouldnt you want the boys swim team there. They are ripped,I remember when I was swimming, best shape of my life
ha! because they were super intimidating and the coaches were hanging out on the deck - i just felt stupid, because I had no idea what I was doing.
