Confession
I’ve eaten well all day. I have. Low WW point sandwich at lunch, protein shake and English muffin with light laughing cow on it this morning, apples, applesauce. But, I did some strength training and just totally felt my hunger kick up and blood sugar plummet. I am totally fixing to eat a pizza at the gym.

Master's Swimming
Supposed to go to my first practice tomorrow. If I can get out of bed and into a swim suit at 4:30 in the morning. That’s 2.5 hours before I have to be at work. Ok, end whine. I’s skeered. @Robin, come swim with me!

Anybody know if you can turn off the part of the phone that makes...

Just figured out
I’m not gonna drown on Mother’s Day! The times I’ve been out for open water swims so far, we’ve done WAY more than the 200 yard distance that’ll be required for the tri!

Book recommendation
Because I know we all have lots of extra time between work, school, kids, training for various races, etc. BUT, this was a pretty quick read. It was also very inspiring. “Can’t Swim, Can’t Ride, Can’t Run: From Common Man to Iron Man” by Andy Holgate. Made me very glad my tris will be in the US and not England.

Master swimming - the one I’m looking at is Fort Bend Masters Swimming in Sugar Land. Found it through the US Master Swimming website. And, Ren and I are (at the moment) planning on another Lake 288 swim Sunday Afternoon.

Just in case anybody wants some Race-Kred.  I’m not going to put them on my shoes - I think I’m going to make a bracelet.

Master's Swim?
I found a master’s swim group that only requires you be able to swim 25 yards unassisted.   But the swim times are sooooooooo early in the mornings.  And I am so not a morning person.  Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 5am - 6am and Saturday 6:30am - 8am. $45 a month for unlimited coached swims.   You can do a weeks worth of complimentary swims to see if you’ll like it.  Maybe...

It's 6:15 on Saturday night
And there’s hardly any cars in the gym parking lot. I’m choosing to see this as others aren’t as dedicated as I am rather than seeing it as me not having a life.

Please explain to me
Why it’s 4:30 on Saturday morning and I’m awake? I don’t HAVE to be up for 5 hours. Ugh.

Plan for the day
Work until 3:30 or I can’t take it anymore, whichever comes first. I swam yesterday, used a pull bouy for the first time. Really worked on getting my stroke right and using my legs less. Really feeling it in my upper arms today. Not in the shoulder where I would have expected it. It’s weird. Anyway, going to leave work, go to the gym, lift some weights, take the 4:30 yoga class,...

Brain eating amoeba
I survived the swim in the lake Saturday only to get brain eating amoeba. I know that’s what’s causing this headache. It can’t be not having taken my blood pressure meds yet. Or lack of caffeination yesterday. Or lack of good sleep. Or sinus/allergies. It’s brain eating amoeba.

Student presentations
Monotone is bad. Monotone with a very heavy African accent is really bad. I feel like I need subtitles. I think it’s English, but I’m not entirely sure.

I'll have to disown her
Just found out my sister runs in a tennis skirt.
