First Swim meet done!! Woohoo!!! Stood the WHOLE time. Was helping out by timing. Which was a good thing, but it was very long and tiring. And I had a good workout at McConnell Health Center this afternoon. Which just led to me being even more tired. My back and neck hurt. Probably not standing with good posture.

But, so far, it has been a good summer. All two days of it. Yesterday we went to the bowling alley. We got in on a Groupon for $42, we can bowl every day for one hour, up to 6 people including shoes. From June 1 through the end of August!! So, we need to go bowling a couple of times a week!!!

I have not gotten into exercising, yet. Which is bad. I need to. I have no problems getting over to the gym when I have an appt., but not other times. And, I have an Airdyne at home, so I have no excuse. Marcy and I are working on it. Something is not clicking for me. I should be doing SOMETHING every day. I've been having great weight loss but that needs to be accompanied with exercise to get rid of my wings and when the weight loss slows down, the exercise will keep the momentum.

As far as eating, I eat whatever I want. Pretty much. Don't do sugar. And try to limit the carbs. Stay away from bread. But, I can sit down with a couple of crackers or chips and salsa. Amazing how my portions are normal now. I no longer wolf down a sleeve of Townhouse crackers. I eat 5-7. And feel full. That's the best part. Actually feeling full. I'm very much a snacker. Which is not a good way to eat. But, it fits in our lifestyle. And, I'm snacking, but not grazing. I'm sure I get FAR fewer calories than I'm supposed to. Which is part of why I still don't have a lOT of energy. That and not exercising.

It is very nice, though, seeing people I haven't seen in a while. At the swim meet, I saw a woman I haven't seen since the Fall. She didn't recognize me. :) Then I saw another woman whom I haven't seen in probably 5 years. She didn't recognize me either!!! YAY!!! I still hate pictures of myself, but that will come.

Wow. I'm so bad at this whole blog thing!!! I will have to write more later. Need to take Alex to Swim Team practice. But, I was so excited at being almost 70 pounds lost that I had to post it!!!
