Either it's the lessened food or the extra laps that's causing the tiredness I am feeling today. It's crunch time so me and wifey (yes, her role is very vital in this little quest of ours) devise the most stringent plan to win this and take that coveted bragging rights.
I haven't weigh myself since the last time which puts me at 238 pounds of monster fat. People who see me though has noticed the weight lost. and so, I am quite please with the route we took this time around.
Win or loss, it's still a worthy endeavor since I really, really need to lose the excess pounds. After this, I won't be doing an everyday swim. It's not good for my age and my body with those huge swimming pads that makes it really harder to paddle through the water, It will wear out my shoulders and elbows mechanism in no time. Three times a week would suffice and alternate it with some gym workout. I cross out the gym for this 3rd attempt of joining a Biggest Loser contest because I can't keep those muscles on since we wanna lose weight - muscles included. And newsflash, muscles are heavier than fat!
Anyway, tomorrow will be the last swim before we weigh in on Wednesday. I'm thinking of pulling some Michael Phelps of a kind effort. Definitely, the weariness has set in so that swimming for more than a hundred meter requires a gargantuan amount of effort. But, like I mentioned earlier, there were additional laps added to the usual 2.5km course. Not much really, but somewhere in the vicinity of 500m.
Just a side note, while other countries are yet to win a medal in the Rio Olympics, Michael Phelps has taken 23 of 'em as of this writing. The Philippines is lucky to get one silver, Singapore had one gold which ironically they got at the expense of Phelps. And the rest, well, they are still hoping to snag one.
That's it for today, folks. You'll find out come 17th the outcome of this quest. I hope the cameras would get me on my good side. lol
