its a whole new world... amazing

so, i am amazed at this new world around me. have any of you ever read any of those labels on food that tell you about calories, fat, carbs, sodium? i went to the grocery store tonight and realized i was like in a library... LEARNING! i was craving some of my old friends; the chocolate wax donuts, a coke, and they were so sad when i (like dion warwick said) "walked on by..." i had to, i had soup labels to read, salad nutritional data to think about, yet, i did grab a nice summery treat. WATERMELON! i love watermelon! i also swam for 30-35 minutes in my hotel pool (funny, the pool has been here forever, and after staying here every week since january, i finally took a dip!) and cooled off the swim with a nice relaxing soak in the hot tub and some stretching. ME? stretching? true! my body hates me, it is not up for this. too bad, el heifer - its about taking control, becoming "the boss" -- hence... el heffe! it won't be long now! (actually it will, the rest of my life!) and i am so excited next week, its Banks Lake, and i will be swimming the entire lake! i've done it many times before and yet, this is the first time i am actually planning it, and thinking about it. i may not be an IRONMAN, but maybe i am a tinman?
