going from a pretty lazy life style that i had to swimming about 2 hours a day 5 times a week, should i consider changing my diet some?
How did you build up to that 2 hours a day 5 days a week? An increase from nothing to 10 hours a week is a big increase. I've always heard that when you are building up distance or time, you need to do it gradually--I think the figure is about a 10% increase per week. That way, you give your body a chance to adapt to the increased demands you are putting on it.
If you didn't build up to it, then that could possibly explain why your endurance level varies so much from day to day. It may be that your body is hasn't had a chance to adapt fully to the new demands and you need to build in more rest to help it get there.
