This went well, I feel so good AFTER I swim every time.  I did have to stop and catch my breath a lot and found I kept forgetting to really kick.  I do that without the fins sometimes too.  But when I do focus on the kicking I get so much more out of breath.  It's a work in progress.  The ankle had a slight set back d/t some shenanigans over the weekend.  We had our work Christmas party and somehow the night lead to 80's dance night at a venue downtown that has a 'springy' floor.  The combo of my shoes and my lack of dancing grace lead to some increased swelling and soreness over the last few days.  I ran it by a doc at work and he said he doubted the bone itself would move at this point and it was probably just swelling and I should lay off the dancing.  Also, I completed my third bodpod body fat test for the year today, here's the summary:

April 2017:
151.7#
24.5 bf% (37.1#)
75.5% lean (114.6#)
1409 kcal/day

July:
149.9#
22.4 bf% (33.7#)
77.6% lean (116.2#)
1423 kcal/day

December:
139.0#
19.2 bf% (26.7#)
80.8% lean (112.3#)
1362 kcal/day

So...I lost 12.7#'s, 5.3%bf, and 10.4#'s of body fat.  Also lost 2.3# of muscle but I like to think that is my right calf :).  Thanks for all the help with this.  I feel really good right here and just want to maintain it.  It is super satisfying to reach a goal.  Thanks Max!
