Exercise Log 6

Oops... it's been over a month.  I HAVE been doing stuff though, so this will be a dates and laps/minutes post.  The pool was closed for a week and a half the end of July - worked out well, because that's when I burnt my finger so badly.  It's been a lot of work.  I've had a comment or two that I look more toned, but the scale still isn't moving.  I just started using My Fitness Pal this week to try to track calories and exercise.  We'll see if knowing what I'm eating helps or not.  Some days I don't even hit the base for what they suggest I should be eating, which could be part of the problem!

There have been great days and slow days, but for the most part it's pretty consistent.  I'm excited to keep it up through the school year.  I never get the "runner's high" or a boost of energy, but mentally I know I'm doing something good for myself.  Makes it worth getting up super early!
