i won a new watch...


a polar F55, it is pretty cool. i got it because i won a contest a bunch of friends did for losing weight back in january. i lost the greatest percentage, losing 13% of me. so i bought this watch because i can swim with it on, and that was more important to me than be able to track where i run. i like to swim more than any other type of exercise. oh yeah, i did buy it a month prior to winning, but i knew i would win. i know that sounds presumptuous on my part, but i was able to motivate myself with my watch and that helped me win. so i guess all is well. thanks guys!


for those of you that have never seen these straps, you wear it around your chest and then it tells your watch what your heart is doing. i love how it constantly monitors my heart, keeping me in the right zone for working out and keeping track of my exercise minutes each week. i can download the information to my computer and watch my progress. a valuable tool. i ended up winning $450 so i'm trying to figure out what else i want to get. maybe i'll go gadget shopping at williams-sonoma.

today i drank 60 ounces of water
i swam 30 minutes
i was 207.5 today
i ate hires drive in french fries with fry sauce my favorite, i haven't had fries for so long. they were so good.
