Water Training

Despite the heat, I went swimming yesterday and today. I may not be losing as much weight as I would like, but I feel that I have better endurance each time I swim.

On my first Ultra visit, I did 12 laps. Yesterday and today, I did 22 laps. The pool is closed to the public at 4:30pm. If I had more time, I think I still have the strength to do more laps. I'm really into this. Oh, and I walked from Ultra to Silver City after today's workout.

I wonder if I can do 40 laps? That would be awesome!

The Biggest Loser of XPS Week 2

I did not work out much on Week 2. It was cheat week for me. I had rice a few times and started drinking lots of starbucks again (but no whip and drizzle). Still, I lost 2 lbs. I also did more laps at the pool and it was a lot easier for me this time even if I did not cut back on my smoking.

I really want to swim now, but its so hot outside. A little less sun please.

Boxer's Fracture

Paraffin Wax

While I need to rest my hands for two weeks, Doc still encourages me to continue boxing. She says its a really good workout and she tried it herself to lose her post baby weight.

For now, I think I'll focus on swimming.

Today at the Ultra

Getting Serious

Plan A was to go badminton with my XPS friends. Plan B was to box with my DSS friends. I woke up wanting to try something else.

I found myself at the Ultra once again. Alone.

This time I went swimming!

After my first lap, I thought I wouldn't make it to my 10 lap goal. I wanted to vow never to puff a cigarette again but I didn't. Last time I used an Olympic-size pool and did 10 was over a decade ago as a swimmer in College.

This is me after 6 laps

After 10 laps, I was still alive so I did 2 more!

I guess I really am serious about this. It feels good to do this by myself.
