I felt a lot more into my swim this morning. Cardio-wise, I felt fine. It's my form that's bugging me and really slowing me down. I spent 1/2 a lap just practicing on my kicking, because it seemed like I was using my arms too much. This may be something that gets better with time though as I build up my endurance. When I started running for the first time a few years ago, I remember I could barely get around the block. It's just something that you have to build up to.
The boot camp instructor was killer today! We spent nearly the first 20 minutes on squats and lunges alone! I thought I was going to pass out. I was proud of myself for making it through the whole class because we did a lot of different strength training exercises.
Even though I was feeling pretty worn out, I did the cross ramp after class because I was also feeling guilty thanks to these guys...
Lindt Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffles! My mom gave me a bag for Valentine's Day. They are so smooth and creamy and just melt in your mouth. I keep them in my desk at work with the intention of having just one after my lunch as an indulgence. Today, however, I had a whole serving size - 3 pieces - which are 220 calories and 18 grams of fat. Whoops. So I made sure to burn at least that many calories on the machine to make up for it.
My schedule was kind of crazy today and I didn't do any grocery shopping over the weekend, so I just got a Subway turkey footlong and ate half for lunch and the other half for dinner while driving to the eye doctor. I was surprised to find out my contact prescription really didn't change very much. But since my contacts are 3 years old, I'm getting new ones anyway. The left eye has worsened some.
I also asked her about why my right lower eyelid has been twitching a lot lately - almost every day. She said stress, lack of sleep, and caffeine may cause this, but it's nothing to worry about, it's just an annoyance. Lucky me I am prone to all 3 of these things...
Well between waking up early to swim and doing such a hard workout this evening, I'm exhausted and going to bed early!!! Night!
