Today I had swim class again. But my body was SO tired. Like mentally I was fine, not falling asleep in the water or anything, but I couldn't even flutter kick on a kickboard from one side of the pool to the other without being pretty out of breath. Kinda bummed out about this. Could it be my body's getting used to working out and is tired for this reason? All last week after workouts I was just exhausted had to take naps some day, as I did today.
In every lane at the pool there was 2 to even 4 people, so I just went home after class, also bummed I coudn't try and practice. I feel the need to swim tomorrow to practice, but may not. Haven't decided yet. The goal is to walk the dog in the morning and do some leg weights. Not sure if it's a good idea to swim, too. I treaded A LOT of water during lessons though....my swim instructor brought the 3 of us plus her to the deep end....and really only 2 can fit side by side on the ledge (as one of our swimates is on the larger side) either way - I'm the only one confident enough to tread water and not need her assistance-and not fear drowning. Consequently, I'm a little bummed about this class. The instructor is teaching a beginning and intermediate at the same time...so we're paired. I feel sad I'm not being as challenged as I'd like....but then again, my endurance stinks, so I'm not sure I have room to talk. I just feel like I'm not getting my money's worth. :-( Either way, out of a 40 minute class, maybe I got a work out? Can I count today as my workout? Or should I just resolve to start Tuesday of still at 0 working toward 3 total workouts?
Anyway, I'm at 1566 for calories. Found some M&M's while babysitting some friends' kids. I was planning on having grapes and a piece of bread with my soup later, but threw those out since I ate the M&M's. They were so good....did I mention I have a problem with sweets?? I wanted to eat the rest of my calories in that sitting. But didn't....Gee I wanted to, and in my head, it would have been worth it.
