As usual, I'm pretty tired, but today is a good tired.I got away at lunch hour and met my trainer Danni at the pool for an hour of drills and workout.
Doing swim drills is a deceptively difficult way to spend an hour and I am pretty whipped now. It is weird though, how much better the day goes at work when I am able to break it up with exercise. I confirmed that swimming will always be a struggle for me, but I do feel like I improved. My goal with swimming will always be to be efficient more than fast. That way in a triathlon I won't waste all my energy on what should be the shortest part of the day.
I also know that eventually swimming results in some great things with my upper body, sometimes even my wife notices:)
Lunchtime workouts also improve my nutrition as I keep lunch simple. Today was a chicken burrito. Not health food, but it didn't include fries or a ton of excess calories and that's a plus for me.
My family talked me into Chinese food tonight, but rather than pig out,I ate half of what I usually would, which is still plenty, trust me.
All in all, a pretty good day. It is interesting to relearn that one of the best tools I have for dealing with anxiety (an issue that's always there for me) is to just go get in a real workout.
I told my trainer about my blog and she suggested I may want to post some body measurements as benchmarks, so feel free to check for those over the next few days.
Have a great weekend, mine will include at least one good workout.
