Third Time's the Charm

Last week, my biggest accomplishment was that I managed to get to the gym five days in a row. I would have made it on Saturday too, but Jen was like that little voice on my shoulder on Friday night, saying, "you should just sleep in tomorrow. You need your sleep." It's amazing how fast I caved. She had some good reasons, and I did have a lot of activities going on, but I should have stuck to my guns. If nothing else, the 18 holes of golf I played were great. I think the temperatures were in the low 70's, just a slight breeze, blue skies... sounds a lot like Ohio and Idaho right now. Have I mentioned that I also golfed on New Year's Day and on the weekend of February 14th? Houston certainly has its advantages.

My second biggest accomplishment was swimming 400M in roughly 20 minutes. I didn't have a lot of time, and I wanted to get in 400M, so I did what I could. Again, it got a bit easier toward the end as I found a little bit of a rhythm, but I'm still fairly Volkswagon-esque. I'm looking forward to Wednesday of this week where I'm hoping to go a bit further and work on some of the things I'm learning.

My final accomplishment of the week happened today during a phone call with a work-sponsored health advisor who told me I wasn't that overweight compared to some people she works with. Comforting.
