ok, first of all...i bought a scale today at target because i can't figure out how much i actually weigh and consequently how much i've actually lost. i weighed myself with clothes on and with clothes off, and it was a 2.5 pound difference! so when people say "remember, your clothes weigh something, too..." they're right and you should listen to them. 2.5 pounds is like a week's worth of weight loss!
now to the conspiracy. i think something out there is conspiring to keep me from swimming laps consistently. first the pool at the DFC broke and i couldn't do them this past weekend at all (but i did do them yesterday). then this morning they announced (very dramatically) that the pool was open again and that classes would go on as usual. hooray! so i spent two hours in it doing a strength class, a stretch class, and a cardio class. it felt great! then, in an effort to avoid the treadmill one more day, i went back at 3pm to swim my 17 laps. i had the whole pool to myself, but on the second lap i busted my toe open as i pushed off the wall. i told the lifeguard who told me to go to the clinic where they looked at me like i was silly. then i went back to the pool with my gauze to stop the bleeding, thinking i could go back in as soon as it stopped. noooooooooo, that was not the case. unfortunately you can't swim in a pool with an open cut, so i was banished until it heals. drat! he said he'd look at it tomorrow and reevaluate. it's a little swollen and i'm pretty sure it's going to bruise, so shoes aren't a pleasing option either. ah well, roll with the punches, right?
