@mortonpixie - I would stay in all day if I could. I love the water. Plus I didn't do as much 'work' as I probabaly could, but I was feeling out of breath a ton. I finally bought some nicer swim goggles this year (a 'waste of money' as far as my mom is concerned but I use them constantly!) and I spend a lot of time with my head under, just looking around, and watching the other kids (a. lot. of. kids. yeesh!) swim around and feeling uber jealous of their ability to swim down to the bottom of the deep end (8 and a half feet deep) ... I've tried but I've been having issues with the water going up my nose... last time all the chlorine up in my sinuses gave me a monster migraine, so I've been avoiding going down trying to touch bottom until I can buy a nose plug.
Yah, tuna salad was good. I'm thinking I'm going to start making YouTube videos of how to make some of my favorites.. my family is always afraid of my cooking for some reason (I think because I'm brave and try new things- also, I had a habit of taking slices of american cheese, a saucepot and putting the saucepot on the heating vent as a little girl and melting the cheese into itty biddy balls and eating it... my mom was so frustrated at me some times I swear...) But today for breakfast I had coffee (sweetened with Splenda of course) and then I made basil vinigerette beef stirfry.. Is there a board here to list recipes? I'd love to share it.
YMCA night? I'm thinking of joining the one in downtown, but I can't afford it most likely, being on unemployment and foodstamps right now until I get a new job... (I am realllllly going to miss food stamps when I get that new job. ;-; Food is so expensive now! And it's only going to get worse because of the drought!) How much does it run to be part of it near you? I've been wanting to join because the one near me has a year-round pool and I want to be able to keep swimming. The one near my house is only open for a few more weeks before it closes for the summer.
As far as swimming, lol, it doesn't make me hungry, it does make me have to use the loo a ton though, can't seem to figure out why. Oo; Oh well. I've always had a weak bladder and issues with those pipes. >>;
@ThousandSunny - XD I have no idea where I got it from but yeah, you're welcome to steal it. That's what they are. Lovely, adorable fluffbutts!
@MortonPixie *AND* ThousandSunny - You two are both super-brave. I never go outside to work out while it's hot.. I always wait till after midnight to go on my walk with the dogs so I don't sweat.. but then again, I've been becoming really effected by the heat this year.. Sean Casey from StormChasers came to Syracuse recently and I found out last-minute and managed to head out there to meet him with my sis (he was always my favorite of all of the 'teams' on that show) and just going to the MoST here and back with my sis (IN THE CAR!!!) and a stop to McDonalds for some soda made me go into heat exhaustion and dehydration and I nearly puked all over! so.... I always swim during the day (because the water keeps you cool) and go walking at night (because it's usually in the 70s after midnight and much easier on me.) .. so.. you two are damn brave. o_o Kudos to you both!
@ChubbyGirl253 - I hope you go down! My scale is kinda funky though it did record a 2 pound drop over the last 24 hours. But we'll see what my mom's scale says, that's the one I go by. We even have a paper on the fridge at home that we're using for when I weigh myself so we can keep track of it (we tried this last time but without paper to track it, and we got into a huge argument because I had gone down 3 pounds and my mom said I stayed the same, but she's older and her memory has really been getting bad as of late, but of course she didn't want to believe me.. so now we're using paper and writing it down so there's no way to argue about it.)
I'm excited for you! I hope you've gone down! ^_^ I'm really excited because my scale said I was 300.6 exactly...... I'm about to be under 300 pounds for the
first time in 5 years! I think I'll be treating myself to a new swimming accessory (my nose plug!) when I hit it! Maybe a swim-cap too so my hair doesn't get so messed up!
as for me and for yesterday and today - about to go walk to the pool for the afternoon. I didn't end up walking yesterday at all but, I did walk to the pool from home when, other days, I've been driving the 2 blocks. I'll be walking again today, and my neighbors will just have to deal with my chubby butt in just my swimsuit walking on down, and my.. Pokemon beach towel with Mewtwo and Pikachu on it... I'm such a nerd.
(Like I care anyway.)
Have a great day and I'll catch up with you all after I return home from the pool. ^_^
