Yay, I have returned to swim practice. whee Yeah, being sick sucks. Also, my lunch today wasn't that great, but I blame the school cafeteria and me & my family being too sick to go to the grocery store to buy lunches. Also, I have a couple small goals (that are unrelated to each other): eat more dairy and get more sleep. I have had like, almost no dairy lately. I don't know why... also, I've always struggled with getting enough sleep, but I found out recently that a lack of sleep can make your body hang on to fat, so it's actually relevent to this journal. surprised

Seismic Schist: If you really wanna swim (I reccomend it, it's GREAT excersize, and you get a nice tan!), it's almost summer and most public pools give free or cheap swim lessons in the summer, even to teens/adults. 3nodding Oh, and super cute avie, by the way! biggrin

I had a pretty good day yesterday but I forgot to record it... oh well. I got a new dance mat (my old one was so bad that it pissed me off too much to play DDR anymore), so I can start playing pretty much as soon as the swim season is over on May 1! biggrin And... I needed moar dairy, fruit, and vegetables today. confused
