Swim Clinic

Last night, I went to the University of Denver for a Swim Clinic that was being held for women doing the tri-for-the-cure triathlon ... which is just 2 weeks away.

It was super awesome.

The pool at DU is beautiful! It is a 50 meter pool, double the length that I swim at the Y. The woman that was coaching the clinic is a professional triathlete, very "Colorado", down to earth and inspiring. It was really cool to have someone take apart my stroke, really analyze how I can improve and teach me drills to do so ... I learned a lot.

This morning I weighed in and was down 0.4. I knew it'd be a small weigh in, and yes, a loss is a loss ... but that's how I roll ... after last week and losing 2.6, losing 0.4 today was not a surprise. I am proud of myself ... 0.4 or not ... these are lifetime changes that are making such a difference in my life. I am a better Jessica, wife, mommy and friend because of my physical and emotional healing. I mean, c'mon, I've always been awesome ... I'm just more awesome now.

Ha.
Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

We are going to go camping today ... not too far from home, by a river ... this is our 1st trial run with Grace not sleeping in her crib, so we'll see how this goes. We'd love to get into some great backpacking, and living here we are surrounded by amazing places to do so ... but Grace needs to get in the swing before we attempt some big trip!

Thank you Lord for the swim clinic, for Melissa that taught the clinic, for her wisdom and experience. Thank you for a loss on the scale today ... and the work You are continuing to do in my body and soul. Thank you for my Book Club girls last night, for the honest conversation, laughter and depth that we can share together. Bless this family tonight Lord, as we camp for the 1st time with Gracie, that she won't be scared and she will sleep as soundly as she does at home. (wishful thinking?) All things are possible with You. Amen.
