I feel old
Oww. Everything hurts today. I went to the gym/pool yesterday. I did the usual 45 minutes of stretching and lifting and riding that whore of a stationary bike that hates me and the feeling is mutual, that piece of whore thing. Then I went to the pool.
And swam for three thousand feet. Over a half-mile. Me! Mr. Winded From Peeing Too Hard. I swam .568 of a mile.
Now I feel like my arms are made of a new, super-heavy alloy designed to change the mass of the earth, and my back is made of slow-roasted old man flesh. It’s all the good kind of sore-as-hell though, no injury-type pain. Just feel like a big fat guy that swam a half-mile.
The reason this is worth it? I’m one decent workout from having lost a total of 30 pounds. And I ate like a pig this past weekend! Corned beef & cabbage. Had to be done. You can’t eat small portions of that, you just can’t. I think it might be genetically coded in my DNA.
Now if I could just get a decent night’s sleep....

You’re doing great, my friend! I’ve been eating high sodium lately, so I’m not sure what I’m down to, but I’m only going to weigh myself once a month now. The whole retaining water thing keeps me from really know what’s going on.
I’m keeping myself to between 1800 to 2000 calories a day, and exercising at least 4 times a week.
I’m really proud of ya for sticking with this, and if you think 30 lbs feels somewhat better, wait until it’s 60. You’ll feel amazing in comparison.
Last Sunday I cooked dinner...while standing. I’ve had to sit for the longest time. :)
