Random Musings: I used to really get weird on Sundays, kind of melancholy on a regular basis and then be unable to sleep. That hasn't been the case for a while now, but I must admit I'm sort of out of sorts tonight. Maybe it's just fatigue from more working out than usual this week (yea for me, I did them all). So I think I'll keep it short tonight and get some good restorative sleep... I hope
Exercise update: This week's calendar starts with 30 minutes in the pool and I was able to do that at the YMCA today. Each time in the pool is better than the last, although today's effort has left me pretty whipped. I tend to break my swim workouts into short 50 and 100 yard bursts. Today I started to stretch those out to 150 yards on occasion. Of course, the triathlon will require about 450 yards of swimming, so I have work to do. I also walked the dog for 40 minutes and discovered I handle the heat better than he does:)
Nutrition update: I would call today a C. We picked up bagels from Panera and I managed to eat two entire bagels over the course of the day. Even though the calories fit, my reading says that carbs are really an issue for weight control and bagels feed my carb addiction big time.
I also indulged in Mexican food tonight, which put me over my calorie limit for the day. I didn't pig out, but I could have done better too. Perhaps one less bagel and little more fruit or almonds or something. One nice note on the Mexican food was that the kids didn't want to go with us, so we took the plunge and let the stay home alone for an hour while we went. They had strict orders about answering the door etc and did just fine. Of course they called 3 times during the meal, but hey, it's a start.
Weigh in day is Tuesday and we'll see if we are getting anywhere.
