Training and Working out ....

Week 3 of swimming .... the pool was 84 degrees the first two weeks .... but this week it has been 74 .... which feels pretty chilly!! But I am keeping after it!! Doing sets of 6 .... 4 crawl and 2 back-kick/angel-arms .... and that seems to work out pretty well for me ... I'll do 24-30 lengths after a training session and 36-42 on a non-training day ....

So far I am massively retaining water and have gained 3 lbs .... hmmmmmm .....

But I am going to keep at it. I know I need to eat more. I haven't been eating very much because of my tutoring hours ... and I am certain my lovely body has gone into "survival mode" .... holding onto every ounce of fat for dear life ... So I am trying to eat every 2 or 3 hours ... some cheese or nuts or a salad or dried fruit .... yogurt ... stuff like that ....

Training is going okay .... I honestly don't know if I would be doing it if I didn't have someone expecting me at a certain time ... and then making me do "just 2 more" .... they use a different philosophy from what I heard years ago .... I am to work 4 different sets of body parts a week ... then start all over again .... so far I have done ....

• Friday ... Legs!
• Sunday ... Back and Abs!
• Monday ... Chest and Shoulders!
• Wednesday .... Triceps and Biceps!

Starting over again on Friday .... Tyler and Daniel have been kind but pushy ... I guess that is their job. Tyler is a cutie and seems to have latched onto my "mother image" ... which I guess is okay ... I certainly am old enough to be his Mom!
