Day 9

It's weird how my body is adjusting....I am not craving unhealthy food at all.  I have been drinking a ton of water so I think that probably helps.  Yesturday was my lowest calorie intake so far.  I am feeling really good today.  I am going to try to swim a mile and a half.  We will see...my goal is to try to swim my mile in under 39 mins since that is currently my fastest time.  I made a new playlist on my ipod and I am hoping that it helps me kick as in the pool.  I still haven't finished my living room (still have a little painting to do and I haven't found the table I want yet...but I guess all that can wait...my body is more important.
