Swimming Day 1, and weigh in

This week has flown by! I have been doing very good on sticking to my plan, and I officially lost 2 more pounds so I am at 234. I was hoping to get to 235, so I could get my first milestone star but there is always next monday! Today I am measuring my self and taking a progress picture. I want to take one every week so i can see my self shrinking. Ya i'm weird like that.

I didn't do very much exercising last week. So my goal is to try to go everyday this week! I went swimming today for an hour and then on the elliptical for 15min. I am still looking for a gym buddy. It's proving harder than I thought. My two friends that would come with me live too far away. Isn't that always the way. So I am going to see if i can go to the gym everyday after work, just drive straight there and go for an hour and a half. I would like to lose 6lbs by next weigh in.

Swimming felt Ah-may-zing! I have some experience coaching beginner swimmers on a high school level so I was able to give myself sets and knew where to push and when to let rest. What I didn't like was my goggles kept breaking, making me stop all the time when i didn't want to. I will have them fixed by the time I go back (tomorrow night right?!) Also there was this creepy guy watching me the whole time, just sitting on the steps. AWWKWARD! Shout out to the lady that thought I was on a high school swim team! That made me feel good, and maybe not as floppy as I thought I looked :) After that I felt like I needed to work on my legs since I don't kick while I swim, (I know you should, I just never mastered that even though I have been competitive swimming forever) so I got on the Elliptical for 15 min. The cool thing is that they have them in a movie theater , the not so cool thing is that I was in there for the last 15 min of a movie that i didn't even know. Something with Denzel and a train. :\ Better luck next time :D

Looking forward to swimming day two
