    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Not enough water or exercise

    Mood today? Hope to have a better week. I got most of my continuing education out of the way. My mothers health issues delayed my starting on this earlier. Alot of my recent work issues have been addressed so things should settle down. The two things last week that were positive is that I did some strength training in the afternoon on Wednesday when I do a small interval run in the morning and we went to Aquafit on thursday as well as our usual Tuesday and Saturday. Yesterday I didn't get any exercise but did classes on line instead.

    Mood today? :)

    My friend from high school emailed me asking if I would be interested in doing a Save the Bay swim. I'm a decent swimmer but not a fan of the ocean, bays, rivers, and so on... You have to swim 2 miles in 60 mins to qualify. I think I'm going to step out of my comfort zone and try to qualify (hence the swim yesterday). I have time to get that time down and increase it to two miles. Funny thing - at the end of the mile I pictures myself in the bay sinking to the bottom because I was tired...LOL The swim is in July.

    Sun - 1 mile swim - 35mins
    Mon - um...shovel :-)
