Thanks, girls! And, Mel, I didn't even realize it's been a year! Wow, time sure flies! Looking back, however, I am quite happy with the changes I have made and the goals I have met (and even surpassed). Now, if I can just get this swimming goal met, I'll be REALLY psyched. I timed my classes to begin in August because I know that the Olympics will get me really motivated to swim!

That is really clever! I am SOOOO excited about the Olympics. The summer Olympics are the best and we'll be tivo-ing them non stop during those two weeks. I'll be watching them til Christmas
I'm sure you will master the swimming thing. I have always been a fish and I absolutely love to swim. I think it's great that you're taking it on now, since I know a lot of adults who will not learn since they didn't do it as children. No reason not to!

I tried the gravitron for the first time today -- just for kicks. I needed 64 lbs of assistance. Have no idea if that is good or bad, but will try to keep improving on it.
Blah day and weekend. Good workout yesterday, but still blah today. I have been obsessed with death (mine) this weekend. I can't stop thinking about it and it's bumming me out. I do this to myself once a year or so and can't stop thinking about the meaning of life and being gone and dying and on and on and on. UGH! I need to snap out of this.

Nearing your birthday? I ask because usually around that time I'm more introspective than normal. No matter, you'll snap out of it I'm sure.

When I feel like this I tend to watch movies like The Seventh Seal.

Snap out of it, Jane! I know we all have times like this, but my goodness, look at your workouts! All the red is quite impressive. I say find a good chick flick on or a good book and just veg.

I know, right! It's crazy that I get so obsessed with this once a year or so. It's not close to my birthday. I don't know what prompts these thoughts. It's terrible! But, I did zone out on a chick flick -- "Definitely, Maybe" I think it was called. But, all it did was make me sad. So, then I decided to color my hair and I got it too dark. Shit. Shit. Shit. So, now I am switching to a book. Maybe I oughta just go to bed!

LOL @ the hair coloring. That sounds like something I would do. Sometimes, I just get in the mood for a change. I am contemplating the going to bed with a book, idea.
Hope your funk is gone by morning.

Sorry to hear about the funk you were in... I get those every once in a while... not about dying, but about life in general. I tend to over-think everything sometimes. I hope you snap out of it soon :-) Sending happy thoughts your way!
Jane, Congrats on your "baby"--hopefully your wait will be easier than Diane's...
I know what you mean about the overthinking...sometimes the best thing is to take one day at a time. (although pondering and analyzing have their place too if they can bring you to a conclusion) I suppose that made sense? Oh well, happy Monday!
OOPS! My dinner was WAY more calories than I though once I calculated the recipe up. I had it divided into three portions -- one for tonight and two for another time and I should really have done 4 portions. I'm about 275 calories over for today. Still under my maintenance, but this is the highest I've been calorie-wise on what should have been an "on" day and NOT a refeed day! Macros came out OK, though (36/29/35--P/C/F). Looks like tomorrow will REALLY be a deficit day!

I think that's where I've become the most compulsive. It's rare for me to make something new without putting everything into the computer first. I'll overestimate what I think I might use (since I sometimes change things as I go), and then adjust it afterwards. I don't want to have to do something rash like drop my evening snack (not sure I could). Hey, it could be worse... I could take the laptop to the kitchen...
(I'd have to copy FitDay onto it though and make sure that the file was available through the network...nah, that would be too compulsive!)
I HATE when that happens. It's usually not with food I cook (sometimes, though, and that pisses me off even more!), but it's so frustrating. Especially when you're doing well and you had no intention of going over, but you thought you were doing well.
But you can't beat yourself up over it. Try to squeeze in some extra NEAT and lower some snacks down and you should be ok. Congrats on the workouts, looking good!
