Hey!!!!!! I got asked at the pool tonight how much weight I'd lost 'cause my face was looking skinny! :D They didn't believe only 1lb. :D

...and... I gained 10lb since last summer which is when these people really saw me last so I might actually weigh more than the former me they are comparing me with. That muscle sure is heavy, huh? :lol:

Yups, muscles sure are damn heavy. At least that's what I'm maintaining since I gained back my weight but somehow some people think I look thinner and there's no more bulge in my midsection. :D

Anyways, back to you, Monster. :D You go girl! :cheerldr: Just keep up with what you're doing and before you know it, the weight and the rest of the body will follow suit. ;)

shhh...... it stayed gone and took a buddy with it....... I'mm'a pretend not to notice maybe it won't sneak back... ;)

I did just have a bacon buttie for ten-o-clocksies, though. That's the problem with getting up so damn early, lunchtime is way too far away......

heheh....should've had that bacon for breakfast and fruit as snack. Or yogurt. I don't eat fruits either, just preaching. :p: :lol:

And yes....ssshhhhh.....let's not say it too loudly. They're spiteful little buggers. They'll come back so that we wouldn't get too happy. :rolleyes:

I think I'm just forgetting about the first breakfast and pretending that was it. Now I'mm'a mow the lawn, that's good exercise. Fruit slad is what's for lunch. With chocolate sauce. or something :lol:

So now that you are a jaw-dropping buff nugget you aren't gonna post any more RFN pics for us? :mad:

Personally, I think it'd be fun to see a movie of you bicycling to the pool no-handed.

hmm. take too much staging. I went by myself today, so only used the handlebars for the 100 yard on the main road. Fun fun fun, irresponsible fun. I didn't wear my helmet either. :p:

I swam over two miles today! I have swum over 21 miles since the pool opened on memorial day weekend, and I am 7lbs lighter than I was on this day last month. :D

I'VE SWUM A MARATHON!!!!!!
 

26.25 miles since May 28.

:cheerldr::cheerldr: GO! MONSTER GO!:cheerldr::cheerldr:
:cheerldr::cheerldr: GO! MONSTER GO!:cheerldr::cheerldr:

:D

Thanks Lola. :)

And today is Swim-A-Thon for the kids so who knows how far I'll go (Parents swim during the dinner break). It won't be that far, actually, because the water will be ful of people swimming at different speeds and there's only an hour -usually less for me because I'm busy being bossy......

yeah, and now you look like a pink prune.:p:

Hey monster, have you ever considered swimming the English Channel?

God no, it's full of sewage and jellyfish and insanely busy with ship traffic.

(Psst, um, Monster... ahh she knows that. :( )

It's like telling kids: go play on the highway, will ya? ;)

No, I did read about the ship traffic but that's why you have accompanying boats. I had no idea about the sewage and jellyfish! :eek:

It was just something we always heard, that swimming the English Channel is a big feat. A featfeatfeat, even.

When I was a kid I thought one day I'd accomplish everything. that was definitely on the list of everything even though I could only just swim. If it wasn't full of sewage and such, or so goddamn expensive to organize, I'd definitely consider it now. I'm aiming for a mini-tri right now though. It's a distant aim, still....

That's wonderful. I need a goal, too. A much smaller one, but a goal. Like, a 10K by summer's end?

I'll run it with you if you do.

It's a deal. (if I do!) :blush:

the entrance fee for mini-tris is $70ish. :/

How's ur swimming and biking coming along, Monster?

not much on the biking, but I just went past 35 miles and and the scale hit a new season low this morning. :D hot as Hades today with thunderstorms threatening and shitloads to do. not sure how that's going to pan out with getting a swim in. Thanks for asking, Lola Skinny :D (that was meant to be affectionate as a mark of your progress, just in case it comes across any other way)

Lola Skinny here will accept your affection. ;) :lol: That is way cool to see the numbers finally doing a steady drop. Did you change your diet? I'm asking cuz I think eating pizza and cookies might not be the thing to do. :eyebrow: :lol:

bah. found three this morning. I don't eat the pizza and cookies so much... I have tried to eat smaller portions, but mostly, it's all exercise. But, skinny bunny, I do weigh nearly two of you, so i have loads more wiggle room, so to speak :lol:

Maybe the three are from muscles. :D As for the pizza and cookies comment, I was talking about myself. :blush: :lol: Sorry for not being more clear about that. :p:

Oh I know, I meant I don't know if that would help because I don't do it. But I didn't give up beer in any way, shape or form. :D ....Well maybe form -I switched exclusively to a 99cal beer from a 150 cal beer. Maybe makes a difference when you consume as much as I do :D:D

41.55 miles swimmed

WOOT! :jig: WOOT!

Pool Status: open. Monster swimmed.

I have lost 10lb, but no more. I would love to lose more, but that's OK, I'm "big-boned" and muscular and no-one believes I weigh what I do. Even my doctor. at least the 10lb didn't pile back on while the pool was closed/I was on vacation.

That's very important! And now, time for the next 10 lbs. :D Seriously, that is very difficult to do. Good for you, Monster! :thumb2:
