Water polo swimming starving as well (early 2000s). Safeway 79 cent 2 liter cola, 7 dollar 18 inch combo sandwich (pre made, grab extra mayo and mustard on the way out) and 5$ hot and ready little Caesars was the daily intake.
Unfortunately it remained the daily intake long after I stopped swimming. But now I’m swimming again and I’m back to being less than twice the person I used to be. Looking at pictures of myself back then, I was unhealthy skinny. Then I got unhealthy fat. Now I’m working my way back down at a healthy rate. Gotta get there before my heart (or colon now I hear?) gets me.
I was 6’2” and 135 pounds. I gained 50 pounds in three years after turning 30. It felt awesome. Now I’m just over 200 working to maintain that. Any less and some health problems come back. Any more and new ones pop up. 200±5 is kinda my ideal zone.
Find your zone. Sometimes you need just three rolled tacos. Sometimes you need 10. Sometimes you need just three and a beer backer.
