Just for the record...

I do not suck as bad as I thought at swimming. Last week was just getting my butt back in the water. This week it's time to get serious about training. So, first I must know where I am in order to determine where I'm going, no?? So I did a test. 3 x 100 with 20 second rest in between. Average the 3 times and this is my T-pace. So the times were; 2:05, 2:15, 2:10. Not fantastic but better then I thought they'd be. So my T-pace if officially 2:10. Now when I stopped swimming last year I was doing 100 around 2:15, so I'm already 5 seconds faster. Wow, who knew???? Anyway, every 4 weeks I will retest to see how I'm improving.

So yesterday I said how my shorts were a little looser. Well, anyone who's lost weight knows that that can happen 1 day and the next the shorts not fit at all. So I put my shorts on this morning with some trepidation only to discover these were loose too. WoooooooHOooooooooo!!!!

Okay, that's all I got. Things have slowed down a little bit here at work so today I begin the cleaning of the lab. Oh, what fun :)

OK so you better not say you suck any more because those swim times are about what I do. I can't seem to get any faster but I do improve with my comfort level in the water, I figure that alone is worth the time in the pool.

Your swim times seem fine to me. I'm not a fast swimmer but I can go a long distance if I push it. I need to get back in the water soon, it's a nice change from the regular workout I do. Way to go on the loose shorts!

Hey, good going on the weight loss! That's got to make you feel great and keep you motivated! As for the swimming, I think yuu're doing fine. Consistency is really the key.

Feels great when the clothes loosen up. I hope to feel that soon also.

Another week down

 Well the first week back from spring break wasn't bad at all. I was looking forward to the weekend though, so I'm very glad it'...
