My roommate walks in right after i got back from my workout tonight and flips out when i’m still too tired to keep up a good conversation. Then she hears what I did tonight and goes “You’re turning into one of those work-out freaks! I’m really worried about you. Next thing I know, you’ll be anorexic or something…” I actually fee hard core tonight 
I love leaving to swim in the morning knowing that most of the people I see haven’t gone to bed yet. That makes my morning.
Congrats on a good workout! It sounds like your roommate is jealous.
Just becareful, my old roommate was a great athlete but it turned out that she had a serious eating dissorder. In the long run it kept her from performing, being happy, and created serious health problems.
swim team is in the water then and i have an 8 AM or else I would. Instead I’m stuck with the swim/run back to back thing. Oh, and it wasnt that bad. 3000yd swim. 10 mile run. And I eat a lot, always.
She ate lots too…just lots of salad and nothing else.
that sucks. eating disorders are really scary. Tons and tons of girls at my college have them cause they want to be rich housewives.
I’m really not trying to imply or say that you do. I’m just airing concern because I’ve seen it affect a VERY good friend. Please feel free to ignore me 
well thanks for the concern either way
.
along those lines:
last year, i lived in my frat house, and did the whole triathlete thing … swimming every other morning, riding on a trainer in the lounge, running whenever i could, you know the drill. of course the guys were confused as to why anyone would subject themselves to that, but they were not surprised when i ate 3/4 lbs of pasta a night, a loaf of bread a week, etc.
this year, i live in an apartment, and only my roommates see my training. when i go back to the frat house and eat with the members of the new class, their eyes bug out at my servings.
one night, one of them pulled me aside. he’s a very serious, sympathetic kid, but an under-informed freshman. with a concerned tone, he said “don, i know you’re skinny now, but someday, your metabolism is going to slow down, and dude, you’re gonna get so fat. it’s real bad for you to practice habits like this now. i mean, i never see you at the gym, do you even work out?” hehehe

Love it! Did you tell him your “average” work out day/week is? You should have agreed with him and suggested the two of you go for an easy jog the next morning.
BTW…what ever happened to that tart that was flirting with you so much last spring? (you’ll probably tell me she’s now your girlfriend and I’ll have to remove my foot from my mouth)
“Did you tell him your “average” work out day/week is?”
nope, i didn’t want to burst his bubble. i was impressed by his compassion and his having the balls to pull me aside to try to correct me. let him have his moment, i thought.
"what ever happened to that tart that was flirting with you so much last spring? (you’ll probably tell me she’s now your girlfriend and I’ll have to remove my foot from my mouth) "
ugh. no, your foot is firmly planted on the ground. i guess i dodged a bullet on that one. i just sorta disappeared from the social scene for like a half a week after that, and when i came back, she was dating one of the fraternity’s summer boarders. a fat slob, absolutely lovable but physically unimpressive. now, ~5 months later, she’s gained a lot of weight and has a really bad attitude.
no “i told you so” necessary. i prostrate myself before the concentrated wisdom that is Mom.
Good boy, VB. You’re wise beyond your years. I’ll never ITYS…had too many of those in my life. Mom always has good ears.
