I'm switching to every other day for this, i.e. my regular lifting days. Between swimming and lifting, doing this every day is too much. I don't want to overtrain. :smile:

I'm going to start doing this every other day, with my regular lifting. I can't lift three times a week, swim five times a week, and plank everyday. Maybe I'm too old. :wink:

Got half an hour of practice in today; my crawl stroke seems to have recovered from the kickboard fiasco, and my whipkick has gotten better, as has coordinating arms with dolphin kick for butterfly. But the only two things I can keep track of arms and legs for entire laps, are still crawl and backstroke. :blush: I was glad…

Hey, there's plenty of value in lifting lighter weights! Plus, you're not sitting on the couch. :wink:

If you lift heavy enough, they kinda do :tongue:

Miriam, soo sad about the wee kitten, and also glad he had you pulling for him until the end. :cry: Janetr, looking great! Cute top! A big hello to everyone else! I'm studying for a very exciting job interview on Tuesday; they're talking to me even though I have no direct experience in their specific technology, so the…

Orrr not. I swam and lifted today; stick a fork in me! :sweat_smile:

Day 6: Rest day. Thank goodness; I swam and lifted today. Which tends more to be followed by going to bed early, than planking. :wink:

I made it today; I walked (carefully) for 18 minutes. :smile:

Dang, fishgutzy, I hope you feel better forthwith! New instructor today; my old instructor got a promotion. I will miss her, but it's hard to begrudge her that acknowledgment of her awesomeness. :wink: The new instructor isn't bad; I feel like what she had us doing with the kickboards, helped my stroke rather than ruining…

Happy Sunday, Ladies! I'm trying to keep up. :smile: Prepping for job interviews, doing my existing work, keeping my garden watered while we have August heat in June, swimming, lifting, and walking, are about all I can handle right now...but I'm skimming through your posts each day, glad to have you in my world, however…

Day 5: still sore, still only 60 seconds. That was last night. Next attempt to hit 75 seconds, this evening.

Day 5 done. I was still sore from lifting yesterday :sweat_smile:

No walking for me today. My hip is angry. I did swim for an hour, mostly butterfly, because, again, hip...

I swim indoors. I'm a redhead; I do outdoor stuff in sleeves and a hat. :smile:

Today I started putting arms and kicks together for butterfly stroke. I believe it's going to work!

Happy Saturday!

:smile:

Day 4: Did 60 seconds yesterday but was happy to get 35 today, after a hard day at the gym. :wink:

Day 4: Only made it 65 seconds today, after a hard leg day at the gym. Will go for the full 75 tomorrow, and hopefully 90 the next day.

I walked into the gym and people's jaws were dropping at how lean I looked. I haven't lost weight in a month, but obviously recomp is happening. :smile:

Day 3 60 seconds.

Day 3: 60 seconds.

Thanks! I limped half a mile in 14 minutes. :neutral: It was pretty painful...but I tried. Yay me. :smile:

Busy and stressful day. I'm afraid I might not get my walk in! Wish me luck for after 7:00 p.m. tonight. :neutral:

I hear that! My goal weight is in the 180s somewhere, TBD. I know women starting out at 180, looking to get to like 110. Yah I think my left thigh weighs that much. :lol:

Hey I'm 5'11". Nice to "meet" you all. :smile:

To join, you just say you're joining, and then you do the walking and post it here. :smile: To find more, look here: community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/challenges

Day 2: 45 seconds. This is hard. :wink:

Day 2: 54 seconds. Hey, I increased by four seconds, after Butt Day at the gym. :tongue:
