I've had a really good week this week food-wise and exercise-wise, so I am pretty excited about tomorrow's weigh-in. Its the first time in ages that I have really been committed to my food plan, especially on the weekend. My weekends have bloody atrocious lately! So while I have strayed a little off my plan this weekend, its still been light years better than what it has been!
Yesterday I went to the local aquatic centre and swam laps... I was awful!!! It just goes to show even though you might have a high level of fitness in one activity, that doesn't necessarily translate to another activity. The fear of drowning is such a great motivation to finish swimming a lap ;) I have never been a strong swimmer, but I would consider myself "competant" ie I can float and not drown... but after I'd done a few laps and started getting tired I inhaled so much bloody horrible chlorinated water! I managed to do a 30 min session of 12 laps alternating between freestyle, breastroke and backstroke, with lots of recovery in between each lap! I reckon this could be my new challenge, cause I was that bad I can only get better :) The fact I was so knackered must have meant it was a great workout!

I have the same problem! I am fit enough to run 14km, but I am terrible at swimming. There is a massive difference between being fit and being 'swim fit'. It really surprised me! Congrats on the big loss - you go girl! Looking forward to Saturday xxx
