I feel really good today.  I swam for 30 minutes this morning, then got a haircut and an eyebrow wax.  Tonight for dinner we all had chicken and salad - it’s the first night op that I’ve eaten the same meal as the rest of my family.  I usually make something just for me, like a pita pizza or something.  It was nice to eat what the non-overweight people were eating. 

I tried to increase the intensity of my swimming workout by swimming faster (’cause I don’t want to swim longer).  I got a cool Speedo watch for Christmas that’s waterproof and has a stopwatch on it, and I decided to wear it in the pool today to see how long it normally takes me to get to the other end of the pool and back and then try to go a little faster.  But it was too distracting.  I kept feeling like the buckle was going to come undone, so I kept looking at my wrist while I was swimming (awkward).  Then just thinking about how fast I was swimming the whole time was unpleasant.  The fun part of swimmimg for  me is getting in a groove and letting my mind wander.  So I ditched the watch after about 10 minutes and just did my thing and every once in a while tried to go a little faster.  Oh well - it was a good thought anyway.
