Week 6

Week 6 is a week of records and the start of a plateau.

My weight program has me where I am now for at least 2 more weeks before I'm supposed to tweak weight or rep count.

I don't intend to swim more than 36 laps in the near future either - I want to get better at the ones I'm doing, make sure my shoulder gets with the program, maybe take a lesson or two, increase the number of laps i can do at once, and start increasing my speed before I try for additional distance.

I'm glad - I feel my body has responded well to the aggressive program so far, but I also don't think I can push it much harder without repercussions.  Giving it a few weeks to settle in will be nice.

I haven't lost any weight, but i am visibly slimmer around the midsection - so i guess i am losing fat.  I know i'm gaining muscle - i can feel it in some places, see it in others, and prove it with my improved lifting.

I'm pleased and will continue.
