Two days into the training schedule and I really like it. I'm not following the days of the week b/c I gotta do what works best for my schedule. I feel like the workouts are a little less intense than my normal workouts but I have to do more days in the gym following this schedule. Monday I did my first "brick" which is biking followed by running, it was fine (good, even). I biked 8 miles (30 minutes) and then ran 2 miles (18 minutes). Today I swam 22 laps (lap will now mean 50 meters in my vocabulary). That's sort of been my usual and I was told not to decrease just to match the schedule. I did mostly freestyle but mixed in a few other strokes plus some of the drill type stuff like swimming with a kick board or closed fisted. My initial confidence is wearing a little thin though. Just sent my cousin a note wondering if I need to get flippers for this (she just replied no, you'd only use them for training). Its a little daunting doing something like this where I just have no idea what to expect. I was swimming today and thinking about how I would deal with salt water in my goggles or worse yet, my mouth.
There was another nudie in the locker room today. Let me be clear I am not against being nude in a locker room to change but come on let's have a little dignity or subtlety about it. The lady today was standing in a shower and just did not close the curtain. I mean the curtain is right there! I saw her from behind (pun intended) and should I need to refer to her again she will be known as Bump Butt. She like the old-naked-lady-who's-kitchen-is-on-fire pranced around the locker room with all the time in the world. She actually had a towel on her head and nothing else. I think she even went to the sauna room and I pray she took her towel off her head and sat on it. I was just thankful that I had my sauna time alone!
I feel like I need to update a few of my open ended questions/tests/tasks......
We're still mulling over Atlanta move and its still seeming like a good one provided jobs and savings work out. I'm torn about applying for school but still thinking I should just do it. Tomorrow is my WW meeting and I have no idea what will happen. I didn't track this week and didn't eat so great but it was an active week, despite my missing a day at the gym. I'll find out tomorrow. The smaller underwear that was supposed to remind me to lose weight didn't really work. I've been wearing them but they're cotton so they just stretch with me. I guess you really have to do something like that with actual pants. I took a few days off from the wheat grass for no particular reason. I had it this morning (and enjoyed it) so I'm going to try and get back in the habit. As for being social, our old city friends ended up inviting us in for something else that was more doable and so we got in and saw everyone. It was great. I did invite local people over but they had plans. Coincidentally our neighbors had a party Saturday and invited us over so I'm feeling plenty social.
