The only thing out of this is that I LOVE that someone else knows the term Swole!

I lift fairly heavy twice a week (heavy for me means I’m struggling just a bit to finish a rep). I try to focus on tri-specific movements: squats, lunges, tricep extensions, core, etc. But the eating thing, OH the eating thing. I am the kind of girl who comes back from a tough workout and eats a slice of cake. Eating a lot of CAKE is not the same as eating a lot of healthy fats. Unfortunately.

Love it! I love lifting weights…especially since that’s all I was able to do during my injury! I love lifting my chest! and I love squats too. Being sore is the best feeling ever! My fiance is so lazy, I should read all of your excuses to him and tell him that’s exactly what he sounds like! Happy Monday!

@Susan – True story!! I can’t believe how much gym memberships (/parking/rent/laundry/LIFE) are in NYC. Makes you 10x more grateful that running is free.

@Lindsay – Hahah… it’s the same with the arm cycle. When it was the only thing I could do for the first 3 weeks, I was all about it. But since I’ve been “granted” the pool and the bike? Mmm not so much. Pool running though… should be getting back on that about now. Accountability buddy?

@Twizz – I WILL bring it when I come to Cali!! (True story: I might be there in April.) I never really thought about the transmission through your skull thing… but pretty sure it’s straight up soundwaves. Or at least I’ll tell myself that.

@Rachel – Agree with the group swims. Even if its just you +1 other person, it makes a huge difference! (See note regarding hot lane partner.) I gotta pick up a new pair of fins… any recommendation?

@D – A guy I was talking to at the pool the other day had a waterproof shuffle… he said it was awesome. The earphone thing would still nix it for me though.

Marriedwithkidsguy. Apparently not pertinent enough information to tell me on the first date.

@Wendy – The play day only happens for me when I have a certain 7-year old in tow… otherwise it’s strictly tricking myself that I enjoy being cold/wet at the same time. But music helps with that delirium, so I guess I’m on the right path!!

I swam when I was injured and really liked it, but the second I was back to running, I stopped! Maybe if there was a pool in NYC that didn’t cost an arm and a leg…
