Got my chlorine fix. I have my priorities!!!
Well, I had to leave the pool early today to get Natasha off to her wisdom teeth appointment. So I was very happy to be able to hop into lane two with my buddy Jackie and give it a real strong effort the whole time to keep up. Swam 1750 yards before I had to go. Was having so much fun, I lost track of time altogether.
Tangent: water in the showers was like ice again today. I rushed to the team locker room to use their showers. Forgot (in my extreme haste) to leave swimsuit on while showering. Rushed back to original locker room, across the pool deck, in just a towel. Thanking my guardian angel and my lucky stars that I did not slip and fall today of all days. I'm such a klutz, this was a distinct possibility. No doubt there would have been a hefty fine for such a calamity!
Did some 75 yard sprints just before I left the water. 1:23 was my fastest...the other 5 were pretty consistent. Ye old shoulder knew I had been working hard. I was afraid it was going to bother me a bunch today. But it settled back down.
As for calories in vs. calories out. I think I must be about even so far. Although I've been munching a bit with all the anxiety over poor Natasha, I've been up and down the stairs dozens of times. :) That's got to count for something. As well as the energy spent worrying while she was in surgery. :) I'll fall behind over dinner though, I'm sooooo having wine with my buffalo cauliflower and Ethiopian chic pea stew. Speaking of which, I probably should start that soon.
Oh yes, the buffalo cauliflower was amazing. Here's the link if anyone is interested. Crispy Buffalo Fried Cauliflower (Vegan)
