things that go through my head

i've been writing my posts at night, and last night i was just so friggin tired i couldn't even think straight.  yesterday was a great day at the gym!  i swam 22 laps, which is the most i've done so far.  don't get too excited, other than the first two, i take about a 20-30 second break in between each lap.  swimming is one tough workout!  and i know i'm done when i start swallowing water because my breathing is all out of rhythm.  so before i drown i make that my last lap!  and thankfully i can swim during the morning, because the lifeguards are adults.  i don't trust the teenagers that work at night.  i mean, they're teenagers.  one time when A was taking swim lessons at another Y, i actually saw one of the lifeguards sleeping in the chair.  while there were children in the water.  anyways i'm digressing!  so then after my fabulous swim i did the hill program on the bike for 30 mins.  and that was about good for me for the day!  but i felt great afterwards!  

oh, plus i weighed myself in the AM and lost another 1.6 lbs!  woo-hoo.  actually, its a funny story.  so although its plainly obvious that i'm significantly overweight, i haven't actually told mike how much i weigh.  and we are doing this contest together to lose weight, we have to lose at least 5 lbs a month and we get to treat ourselves to something at the beginning of the next month.  (we both made it this month!)  so yesterday was march 1st, weigh-in day.  he was in the shower when i got on the scale, and seeing that i lost another 1.6 lbs made me excited that i actually said the number that was on the scale (so not ready to reveal that to the entire world), and then said yay!!  so of course he heard me, and i was like, shit, i just told you how much i weigh!!  it was kind of funny.  also, i thought about that afterwards, and i was like, wow, i must be in a good place.  i said "yay" after that number.  and that number is horrendous!  so to say "yay" after that must mean i'm feeling good about myself!!  

i had a funny thought as i was driving home from the gym.  i've always had big boobs.  and i know when you lose weight they get a little smaller, but is all this swimming going to make them a lot smaller??  i hope not.  you never see swimmers with big boobs.  i'm not sure how i would deal with that.  no offense to my smaller-chested followers, of course.  

well today i have training.....waaahhhhh.  love u D :)  btw, she does rule.  she writes me the nicest stuff.  so do my close friends.  love all of u too!  so more later if i don't die today.
