Despite the fact that I have a long way to go to get my endurance to the levels necessary I am generally happy with my fitness. I am doing so many things better then I ever did before and as a result am getting results I didn't before. Considering where I was 6 months ago the progress is good. My resting heart rate is quite satisfactory and my strength particularly continues to improve quickly. I admitted to Claudette yesterday that I believe diet has been a big factor. I consume more protein than I did in the past and as a result it seems like I can eat more and gain muscle only. Of course she's been giving me that advice for years. My body fat clearly continues to decrease and yet my weight holds very steady. That's a pretty important element as fat becomes only baggage when running or biking.... although it doesn't really hamper swimming much.
So thats my message for today....listen to your spouse, and eat more protein.
I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow, which is like the middle of the night for me so I'll talk to you tomorrow.
I wish to dedicate day 82 to my nephew Kevin who was a surprise to his mother when he was conceived but a gift ever since.

so, what if I have taken many, many more than 2 pills(in the past that is), and if I feel the urge, I climb 4 or 5 stairs at a time now? does that make me a superhero, or a fool? Who knows eh? oh and easy on the smart ass comments, to my dearly loved aunts.
It's true that one of the only benefits that I can think of about being overweight is that you float easier. There have been times when I could almost nap!!
love you always!
