Finished the swim challenge + an outfit?!

After I completed my swim challenge on Monday, I started feeling awful! Really sick. I missed out on some work and spent major time on the couch. In true granny style, my pajamas were pulled sky high...sexy.

To be honest, I'm probably battling a case of adrenal fatigue. Quite a humbling experience I should mention. I think I let my motivation get the best of me and worked too hard for a couple weeks there. I pull long hours and the combination of job stress and exercise was a little much. This swim thing came at just the right time because it wasn't too taxing on my system. For the remainder of this week I'll be doing yoga and giving myself a much deserved break :)

Now, if you still care, here are my highlights of my 7 day swim challenge!

• First of all, I attempted to take a picture of me in my speedo and swim cap just for blog fun and humor, but I decided that was an absolute negative. There's no way in the WORLD I'm going to expose myself like that. I mean, I'm down for a fun picture on the beach and all, but me...in a locker room...with my swim cap and a one piece? Um. No. Just no. I look like a navy condom, so NO.
• Swimming is cold. Like hair grows back on your legs as soon as you put a toe in cold. Shaving becomes so so pointless, but so so required. UGH.
• Swimming is hard but good. For me, it's harder than running, but easier to get better at than running. You know how running is just plain hard most days? Running is awesome but it's never like, "Oh, I'm in such good shape I feel like I'm walking right now!" Swimming is different...it's hard, but then you get better at it the next day. And then it's even easier the day after. Then you're Michael Phelps and can eat 20,000 calories. Ehh, never mind.
• I really like swimming...if I didn't have a job. All of the time getting in, getting changed, getting my hair wet and then dealing with it after is kind of sucky. A Sunday afternoon swim, however, is my cup of tea!
• Swimming makes my bumps look smaller. Bumps as in cellulite. The only body difference I noticed was cellulite was looking a little less noticeable. Are those things ever gonna go away?
  

I'm trying to decide between starting Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer or the New Rules of Lifting for Women. I want to start sometime next week but haven't decided which one yet! More on that jazz a little later.

Last weekend one of our friends got married (30 years later...literally!) and I couldn't have been happier for him. He is seriously such a sweet guy and a great friend to me and Charlie and we're so glad that he finally found his other half! Here was my outfit, I bought this top at Old Navy last week, so if you're crushing on it- what the heck are you waiting for? Go buy it!

top: old navy $19 skirt: loft $30 jewelry: forever 21 $5

Another recent purchase of mine were these nine west shoes that I'm SO freaking excited about. If I could marry shoes, I'd marry these leopard wedges and my nude louboutins.

And just for a little shoutout, here's a picture of me and Kevin...a life long friend who introduced me and Charlie in high school! He reads my blog and loves to randomly turn to me and say (in his girliest voice) "THINK PRETTY THOUGHTS." He's such a nerd but I love em! Hey Kev!


PEACE!
