    I just did an hour on the elliptical, deadlifts, crunches, reverse crunches, twists, and planks today...then I went and ate unhealthy foods and got drunk...

    prolly won't be working out tomorrow, getting my hair cut/colored in the morning...

    Oh yeah, I had peanut butter M&M's yesterday.

    Today it is pouring down raining so I guess I will be on the trainer (bike) this morning. We still don't have tv yet either after the storm. I am just about out of DVD's. I may watch Touring Band 2000 again.

    I can beat that, the unhealthy food I had yesterday was PUMPKIN ravioli in alfredo sauce! I went to get dinner at this like italian take-out place down the street, and I had intended to get a veggie wrap. and then I'm standing in line and there's this huge sign that says "pumpkin ravioli in alfredo sauce!" and I'm thinking, "I have never heard of pumpkin ravioli...well, pumpkin is healthy..." Anyway, I'm sure the gallons of sangria I also ingested last night did worse than the pumpkin ravioli.

    oh well, sometimes you just have to socialize.

    mmmmmmm..... pumpkin ravioli sounds awesome! I would have ordered that too, but without alfredo.

    I swam 1750 yards this morning - slow, slow, slow, slow. I ordered a DVD from Kiefer on swimming. Hopefully that will help.

    I was on the bike last night (trainer). I had to take out my frustrations with a certain fan club ticketing process on something. I did feel better after sweating a bit.

    it's amazing, I swam from age 8 to age 18 every night. Last year when I was at school and had access to a pool I started swimming a bit. I'm a better swimmer now than when I was competitive!

    swimming is so boring though...and makes me way too hungry after!

    Not so. I am the worst swimmer EVER! If you slog out the laps there is no doubt you can do more and faster! My only swimming attribute is I float well so I don't worry about drowning, and I'm not scared of open water. However, I can't seem to move forward very fast. I get really disgusted.

    At triathlons it is always those who swam when they were young that do the best in the swim portion - even if they haven't swam much as an adult. Those of us that start later in life seem to be at a distinct disadvantage!

    I am a bit jealous of you good swimmers.

    And yes, swimming makes me hungry. But then again so does everything else.

    haha I've only done one triathlon, and swimming well was not an advantage- not being swam over was the only advantage! ugh it was murky water and you couldn't see where you were going and everyone was wacking each other and it was virtually impossible to swim in any sort of a straight line!

    the thought of the murky water is probably my biggest reason for NOT ever wanting to try a triathalon.

    I'm actually surprised we didn't start a bull shark feeding frenzy! :)

    There are many triathlons that have pool swims. We will be doing one the end of this month and another at the end of April. Personally, I prefer the open water. I get really bored swimming in the pool. However, it is not pleasant to come out of the water with mud between your toes and/or algea hanging off my arms, back, etc.

    and swallowing salt water because some dude swam over you and then trying to run...not fun, trust me.

    Yuck. I always swallow water in a tri so I would be really grossed out!

    There really weren't dead bodies found during the tri, right?
