Just wanted to see if anyone here has noticed a significant change in their swim times after losing a decent amount of weight (at least 35 or 40 pounds). Did you notice minor time drops or major time drops after you lost the weight? Or did your times stay the same?

When people think of changing the daily nutrition plan to lose weight, most people think of the "D" words: diet, deprivation, dull, and dreadful!
During my weight loss journey I discovered I could prepare dinner in 15 minutes or less, for $10 or less, it could be 500 calories or less, and it could be full of flavor and color.
Rather than feeling deprived, I felt like I was pampering myself. It was truly remarkable!!
Anyway, here's what I had for dinner tonight (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO) -- arugula and watercress salad tossed in a fresh, homemade tarragon honey dijon dressing with grilled marinated flank steak and watermelon chunks. It was amazing!! There was no deprivation involved whatsoever. As I was dining, I felt like royalty!
By the way, I'm planning to post the recipe for the fresh tarragon honey dijon dressing on the USA Swimming web site in August. For those of you who don't already know, USA Swimming now has a section for Masters/fitness swimmers, and the section will include monthly nutrition columns with seasonal recipes. This month's recipe is cold Asian green beans. Check it out in the "Masters/Fitness" area of the "Swimmers" section at: http://www.usaswimming.org
Cheers!
