swim music
So last Friday was my birthday and I had a really great time… My wife made me (at my request) the Chicken Pomodoro recipe on www.RichardSimmons.com for my birthday dinner and it was awesome! She made roasted vegetables and as a surprise, Fried Zucchini The kids all came over and gave me the BEST present ever! It is a waterproof enclosure for my iPod shuffle with waterproof headphones! Yes.. I can listen to music while swimming! I went the next day to the YMCA and used it… I realized that I don’t like swimming laps because it is boring and I have nothing to focus on except that I am bored… so having the music was GREAT!!! It took a few minutes to get the ear-buds situated so they were fully in my ears, but once I did the sound was really good.. much better than I expected it to be. In the end I had swam more laps that day than I ever have at the Y before! Great birthday all around!
The problem with my birthday weekend was my eating… it was out of control again. No reason other than I just ate.. and ate and ate… so today, I am up over 350 again. And back on the program again. I partied too much and now I have to recover from that by losing the weight.
