Day 46

Swam - only 27 laps, but faster than ever - 2 minutes flat per 100yds.

My will to swim has all but faded.  I dread it the day before and before jumping in, and then long to get out while i'm in.  I don't think I hate swimming entirely and forever, I just need a break.  Fortunately my swim-angst comes as my ability to jog is on the rise and I'm keen on lifting again.  So for at least the next few weeks I'll try:
  • MWF - Jog.
  • TR - Lift.
Essentially following the pattern i've mostly done, just replacing swimming with jogging.

My average weight has been trending slightly downward over the last 10 weeks:
I credit my scrupulous weekday diet, which has become even more abstemious in the last two weeks.  I stopped eating breakfast because i work out so early, and bring a variety of things to eat, but found that by eating those i didn't need as much lunch.  So now my total caloric intake is down, but my exercise is up.

I think my jogging is also more aggressive in burning calories than my swimming.  I'll be interested to see what happens over the next few weeks as I step up jogging (burning fat) but also add lifting (building muscle).
