so she conditioned, deep conditioned, nipped off the ends, and applied a miracle product which made my hair softer than it's ever been! i was a walking pantene commercial.
until i pulled on my swim cap and dove into the pool. my hair was perfect for all of 20 minutes.
but a girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do. and i had 900m of swimming to do. here's how it went down:
warmup:
1 x 25, 1 x 50, 1 x 75
main set:
3 x 25: fingertip drill
3 x 25: lead left
3 x 25: lead right
3 x 25: freestyle kick
3 x 25: pull
3 x 25: butterfly kick
easy swim:
3 x 50
cool down:
2 x 50, 1 x 50
i didn't have my watch so i couldn't time it, but it felt easy. i had plenty of gas by the end of the workout. woot!
swimming after work is so relaxing and refreshing. BUT. there are some weird characters at the pool. i've mentioned some before. but tonight, there were 2 lovebirds splashing in the deep end of one of the lanes. dude had on so much cologne i could smell it over the chlorine. i was just praying that there was no way i would get any stds by sharing the same pool water. ick.
so let's get that image out of our heads with a pic of the monchichi from this weekend:
yes, his shirt says, "ladies man". on saturday, we went for a walk, had lunch, spent the afternoon at chuck e. cheese, then napped for like, forever! on sunday, i took him to his first movie. and he LOVED it. at least the popcorn part. we went shopping and walked away with a little duckie that danced the chicken dance. then we went to the park before yet another long nap.
this weekend was the best birth control ever. i love the kid more than anything, but man, i could barely keep up!
p.s. my mom's watching the bachelor, which i NEVER watch bc i think it's just so embarrassing, but one of the girls, i went to high school with!!! she's the bush aide. seriously, is that the first thing you want to tell someone? to impress them? she's exactly as i remembered her from high school. except that she didn't try to sing to him. she was ALWAYS singing in h.s. i just googled her and it turned out she's been in d.c. and studied for the bar while on the show. craziness. who knew d.c. law firms were keen on their associates appearing on reality shows. oh and she's a marathoner.

the little ones are draining - supposedly one grows accustomed to it.
my hair is definitely drier due to the chlorine, but somehow that balances well with all the humidity down here. Not sure if that makes any sense...
Wendy is right, plus when they're actually YOURS you have soooo much more patience for them.
LMAO at the kiddie's shirt! Too cute!
Awe he is too cute! Nice job getting the swim in even after having your hair look super nice!
I think other parents (aka, Marcy) tell you lies about how "when they're your kids, it will be different" just so we're all suckered into the same kind of misery.
I guess the dry hair is the reason why most swimmers keep their hair short, huh?
Great swim! You're becoming quite the little fish.
I've dealt with swimmer hair my whole life (I have dark brown hair, but the pool turns it an awesome orangey color that makes me hate the world), but it was just recently that my new stylist gave me a useful approach to protecting it.
Obviously you want to use a really good conditioner right after you swim. She also recommended always blow-drying your hair after washing, using any type of styling product (volumizer, gel, mousse, leave-in conditioner; gloss). Apparently using the product protects your strands as the water leaves it.
I'm not going to lie: I don't understand what I just typed or what the stylist actually said, but it works.
The little on is adorable!
I hope the girl you went to high school with wasn't that drunk Stacey who passed out on a bed somewhere.
That's so crazy! I was watching the Bachelor randomly and she's probably one of the three girls I could remember (they all seemed to have the same "I'm going to win him over with my stereotypical, noninteresting personality except for said few)
Anyway, way to go on the swimming! Sometimes (rarely) when I feel like I look nice, it is such a torment to have to do exercise. But I started telling myself "who wants to go to sleep with good looking hair?" and as stupid as it sounds it would motivate me to get goin'!!!!!
You should post a pic of your gorgeous hair!
Great pictures- what a sweetie.
I really need a haircut- I'm jealous!
Keep up the great work. :)
He is cuuuuuuuuuute!!
OMG -- What a CUTIE!!!!!
Do you wear a swim cap? I was worried that my soft hair with its impossible-to-maintain red dye job would depreciate faster than a new car fresh off the lot. But I've convinced myself that if I wear a cap religiously I could prevent that. True or false in your opinion? Am I in for a shock?
