(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think it's something to do with how swimming uses nearly every muscle in your body, or something-it's definitely very tiring! There's that, and the fact that you're often colder in the water than you realise. Also, you don't notice how much you actually sweat while swimming - I always get so dehydrated after swimming, despite swallowing half the pool in the process (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Had a call from BT about having broadband from them......
Since all the connection problems I have are down to what's happening at the BT end of things how am I supposed to believe that they can give me a more reliable connection? Unless it's a marketing ploy and they regularly cause problems on the line if you are not getting broadband from them to try to make you want to change? In which case I STILL don't want to change to BT! |

So that's meant that I prioritised music in my spare time so I've probably not being doing the exercise I should have been and also I think I eat more at home on study leave (my parents are good cooks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) Anyway, I'm attempting to lose some weight over the summer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (you should probably expect to have many posts from me along these lines now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) |

I'm planning on swimming another 2km tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Yesterday I managed a mile, because I didn't know I could do the extra 400m (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Also, my mum has very kindly said she'll go on a health kick with me, so tomorrow we're going to the supermarket to buy nice healthy things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Definitely remember the nice in the healthy things. There are some great fruits in season at the moment.
