I see the other groups are having optional daily challenges. Will we be having those as well?

I fell into an emotional eating rut yesterday and it wasn't worth it.

What a day! Started off bad, but it ended up pretty good.

I had planned to get up very early and walk before swimming, but that didn't happen. I got up at 5:30 to drive 42 miles to swim in a heated Olympic pool at 7:15. I'm getting my gear together and find that my waterproof MP3 player got stuck in limbo while charging (this has happened before; gotta wait for the battery to die, then try again). So, I'm sorting through stuff wanting to take only what I need, and in my early morning foggy brain (that's foggy brain, not foggy morning), I somehow think because I'm not bringing my MP3 player, I don't need the strap that holds my swimmer's snorkel. I realize this half way to the pool; without a snorkel, I'm limited to swimming side stroke. Oh well, do better next time.
I get to the pool and find out they've cancelled swim time due to being one lifeguard short. So I drive to a nearby Starbucks and console myself with an iced coffee and a chocolate croissant. Then I drive back home, arriving around 8:20. I decide perhaps I can get that walk in now. Today's high will be ~96 degrees, but it's only 75 degrees at 8:30. So, I begin my 2 mile walk, and remember that I have a challenge to do a 3 mile walk either Fri, Sat or Sun. So I walked 3.25 miles (that's a new record for me: farthest walk).
I find some swim times available at my gym and book them. Before swimming, I did a 34 minute strength training routine, during which I bumped up all my resistances. When I started swimming, I seemed to have an unusual amount of energy. I normally swim ~1600-800 yards in 56-64 minutes (pace: 3:22/100 yards), but today I ended up swimming 2650 yards (1.5 miles) in 87 minutes (pace: 3:16/100 yards). That's another record: farthest swim!
Then, I saw that I was close to breaking my "most steps/day" record, so I just walked another 0.77 miles to set a new personal steps record of ~12,500 steps.

So today, I set new personal records for walking, strength, swimming and steps. I'm wondering what I'll feel like tomorrow!

And as it turns out, I drove 42 miles... for an iced coffee and chocolate croissant!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hormones, kids of school, no time to exercise and eating off plan all contributed to this gain. But I'm focused now and ready to get back on track. Here's to a good week!😊
