Swim workout

Training update: Swam 1200 today. Focused on my form, counted my strokes. I am down to 21 for a 25. I don't know where I read it, but it's supposed to be a measure of efficiency. My co-worker is also a swim coach and she's been giving me advice about getting proper hip rotation and reach. It appears to be working.

Weigh in: Did not. Should do it. I don't think I've eaten so much as to have gained all my weight back, but I am feeling bloated and apathetic. I continue to write down my food, remind myself of my challenge and with any luck I will done with this mood SOON. I don't like feeling like this!

I returned my size 14 wetsuit for a 12. I hope this one will fit the bill. I was going to do a triathlon May 11th, but it happens to be my YMCA that is supplying the lifeguards and I may end up being a volunteer instead. I am excited to do it though, because I'll get to try out my wetsuit with a practice/cold water swim - no pressure of an actual race. Open water is a squirrely thing for me. It really can creep me out!
