I wish that I had good news to report, but somehow I gained 2 pounds since yesterday and a pound since last week. I had Indian for lunch yesterday which was an indulgence, but I can’t imagine it was a 7000 calorie indulgence. Oh well, I guess we’ll see what next week brings!
In other news, I redid my interval workout this morning. I did 2.5 of the 3 miles (yesterday I did 1.5). I probably could have completed the third interval but I didn’t want to push my luck.
After the run, I did Stage 2 of NROLW. I’m so glad to be on stage 2. Confession: I had a few more workouts left of Stage 1 but I feel like I’ve been doing that stage for 6 months so it was time for something new. Let me just say that I LOVED this workout. It was challenging and overall a great workout.
After lifting, I decided to try the first two skills in Total Immersion. As rudimentary as it may sound the first skill is lying on your back (in a specific way) and kicking the length of the pool. The other part of the first skill is to roll to your side and do a length. The second skill was sticking one arm above your head for the first part and then rolling over for the second part. I was okay with the first skill but the second was more challenging. I struggled with the breathing part. I think I’m going to retry these skills tomorrow.
And one more thing – I did a two-a-day yesterday. I ran and biked a bit in the a.m. but then I biked 10 more miles this afternoon.
