7 Week Break

So I wasn't planning to take a break from swimming, but I did.  I finally got back in today.  I swan 4,000 yards.  I did 2,000 then a 1,500 with paddles, and 500 cool down.  It felt really nice, until I went to the store and my tailbone freaked out on me...But that is my fault for not exercising like I should be.

During my time off from swimming, I did a fitness challenge.  It was a month of daily exercises.  I did all but two days.  I missed the last one because I hurt my back.  But I completed the rest.  I think that I will try a different month-long challenge soon.

30 Day Challenge

I decided to start a 30 day fitness challenge.  It is only 2 little exercises a day.  I have been doing it for 15 days now.  Unfortunately I missed yesterday.  I promised myself that if I skipped a day I would have to make it up double.  Well, yesterday I was supposed to do 50 squat jumps.  So I had to do 100 squat jumps!  They kicked my butt the first time I had to do them and I was pretty worried about completing that many, but I was able to do it.  I just broke it down into groups of 25 and rotated it with the other one I missed from yesterday and today's exercises. 

When they say "50" of some exercises that are side specific I always double it.  I like to do extra, and that way I make sure I am not missing any. 

Here is the website that I got it from:  www.30dayfitnesschallenges.com/30-day-beach-body-challenge/

I like it so much that I am already looking for my next monthly challenge.  This is the one that I am considering:  http://theysmell.com/january-2015-workout-calendar/.  Does anyone want to join me next month?
