Day 482 - Let the maintenance begin

So I get really hungry after I finish swimming.  I have listened to people say eat protein, drink water, eat carbs, but the bottom line is the hunger is overwhelming and I give in to it.

But lately the hunger is turning to cramping as well.  I came back from Ohio where I hadn't swum for 2 weeks and planned on getting in the water the minute I got back, but I got sick so I didn't get into the water until Monday before my lesson.  Then I started to worry that is three weeks and I will have to start all over.  Doing 2:30 in the hundred free and all.  But I didn't I did 1:41.  Fastest yet.  And I am all fired up ready to swim hard.

But I couldn't wake up early enough on Thursday to get to the pool, and when I forced myself to the pool on Friday, I was stiff, sore and tired.  But I had a good swim and then I took a walk - because I knew this weekend was going to be filled with food, and if I am not going to lose I am going to maintain - somehow.

But I found I had this I don't give a crap attitude later in the day, and I am wondering am I going to fall into that pit and end up where?  Back were I began?  That just won't work for me.

  1. We both need to get up early with T3 off to the pool & Whitemop off to walk to work and/or use the eliptical.

    T3 needs more BANANAs - they cure cramps.

    T3 also needs more protein to get her 100 time down further.
