Today, I successfully stopped at the gym on the way home and swam. (Because I had forgotten to pack my exercise clothes other than a swimsuit, there was no option of doing anything other than swimming.) So I went for 30 minutes and did 21 laps - 1100m. (36.6 meters per minute). I actually got faster as I went further! Awesome.

I feel pretty good. And I think it's kind of awesome that when I'm done with a workout and I am hungry, I crave good for me stuff, not bad stuff. Nice side effect to voluntarily chow down on a couple of freshly peeled carrots and a bunch of water after a workout instead of sucking down a big bag of chips or something.

My insurance will pay me back $20 for each month I make it to the gym 2112 times. It seems unlikely for that to happen this month, what with a week in Chicago in there, but I kind of like that added incentive.

Oops! I realized it's not 21, it's 12. Ha! Didn't think I was that dyslexic, and 12 is much more manageable!
