So I swam at the indoor pool at Rossmoor yesterday and though not as nice as the outdoor pool it was adequate. I haven't swum for a week, so I was not expecting miracles, but dang it wasn't a great workout.
I was amazed the pool actually had a current - so swimming one way I was in misery and swimming the other way, well I hardly had to swim. But the feel of swimming with the current was wonderful. I felt fast and furious, and I could take one stroke and pause and go a whole yard. Yes that is how strong it was.
We proceeded to the Cheese Cake Factory after the swim - big mistake. Swimming makes me really want to eat, so I didn't exercise the best control, all my hard work in Ohio is slowly disappearing. Bah.
One thing I noticed having K here and Tbaby in Ohio, that people of normal size really don't eat a whole lot. The house in Ohio was filled with potato chips, ice cream, candy, cookies - everything an obese person would want and I think I saw Tbaby eat one cookie and had one bowl of ice cream, but very little else. Here we bought K all sorts of food, and she eats infrequently. I have found myself asking her are you hungry do you want something to eat. Finally I told her that I was going to rely on her to eat or not, but I found myself that night asking her again.
It is more then a hostess thing, but I don't really know exactly what it is. I am like the mother who says eat - eat.

That's very insightful & I suspect true. I don't know what's "normal", but smaller/average sized folks just don't seem to eat as much or as frequently.
ReplyDeleteI'm always hungry & am easily tempted.
Thanks T3!
