Some times it is good to be off :)

[Guest guest]

Hey! I just got some really good news this morning. I have been faithfully

swimming 1 mile every morning since the beginning of this month. Well, I've

been swimming since the end of August, but as of the first of December I

bumped my laps up to do a full mile every week day morning. I have been

swimming 53 laps (2 lengths) thinking that the pool was 50 feet long. Well

this morning I found out that the pool is actually 25 yards or 75 feet,

meaning I've been doing 1.5 miles instead of only 1. Yay!

Other than that, I'm still just hanging in there. I can't seem to get a

handle on my eating. Every day while I'm in the pool I convince myself that

today is going to be it - I'm going to eat what I'm supposed to eat and not

any extra crap. But then I get home in the chaos of daily living and find

myself eating crap anyway. I need to go back through the house and get rid

of all the crap I have around. That would help.

I'm still maintaining at 192 pounds. Part of me thinks if I can hang on

there, maybe I can get motivated to really kick the eating better in after

the first of the year. The other voice in my head - asks Why would I wait

until the first of the year?

I've got to get back at it. Even though my cholesterol and blood pressure

are much better and I feel better because of that, I don't want to live the

rest of my life at 192 pounds. So I've got to get more serious about the

eating.

What was the name of that site that I've seen talked about here - where you

can enter your daily intake & it will tell you what your calories, fat,

carbs, etc., all are? Maybe that might help me get a better picture of what

I'm doing, which would in turn help me to do better.
