Notes:
- Friday was tough. I wasn't able to get to the gym at lunch, so I wasn't able to lift until evening.
- Monday felt great! Every exercise felt not too hard and not too easy.
I'm wondering what made the difference on Monday. Maybe because I skipped Saturday, or maybe I was just under the weather over the weekend? Thursday's run took everything I had and Sunday I had to keep going slower and slower to finish. Overall, I wasn't very motivated and physically felt tired. Then today everything seemed to click back into place and it felt good again.
It felt really good to swim, until I got to the end and found I had lost one of my earrings. (My diamond stud earings that DH gave me when my twins were born.) Verrrry bad! Fortunately, there was no one else in the pool and my eagle-eyed gym buddy spotted it. Turns out the back had broken, so I guess I'm glad I lost it there - so I knew where to look - as opposed having it fall out in the shower and go down the drain!
