Thursday swims

Swam with the swim team this morning. Well I started at the same time, 6:30 AM and was in the same pool, but that's where the simularity ends. And they swam for 90 minutes and I did 30. But I was swimming.
Then I got invited out to a mexican lunch where I indulged far too much and decided to swim another 30 minutes when I got home. I can't remember the last time I have done that, but it felt good and wasn't too taxing. I think it may continue it. And yes, another day without chocolate. No big deal. Scale this morning said I lost a half a pound. No wonder people on a diet give up! I have exercising reasonably for almost 2.5 pounds and lost 1/2 pound, and haven't been increasing my caloric intake. Strange but true. I should end this week at about 140 miles on the bike for a total of 10.5 hours of exercise. That should have burned off 5000 calories or about a pound and a half. But it doesn't seem to work like that. My body seems to have adapted and is holding on to what it hs. It may take the ragbrai to really shock it.
