    I didn't participate last week officially, though I did burn 4500 calories. This week's goal is 4500 again. Hope I can make it! I already did 40 min of swimming this morning, but will do my Monday update this afternoon after my cycle.

    I took my first adult swim lesson on the weekend and went out to practice some techniques. It was exhausting, but unfortunately my HRM wasn't accurately reading for most of the 40 minutes. Had to estimate based on the readings that did come through.
