Update.
Proud to say after 58.78 miles in the pool over the course of nearly 10 weeks I am down 8 lbs.
I haven't lost weight in years. And I mean, years. The last time the scale was going downward was right after Liberty was born. I dropped a decent amount of weight. Did Weight Watchers. Counted calories. Exercised whenever I could.
Then I went back to work. And it all piled on again. That was 6 years ago.
So it feels good to be down 8lbs.
I need to tighten up my diet though. I should be down about 12-15 at this point. It's eerie I have lost exactly what my dailymile.com journal says I have burned. So I am burning off enough to lose but not restricting my diet enough to lose more.
That's my next challenge. To eat less..more healthfully (although give me kudos for my lunch today..homemade minstrone soup! Fiber! Anti-oxidants! Veggies!). I will check in again at the end of May...the summer jumping off point. I want to be down 20lbs total by then.
Can I do it?
Yes I can.
