trying to plump up

In anticipation of Brett's arrival I have been eating as much unhealthy food as possible with as little exercise as possible. This may sound easy, but it takes a lifestyle change. The plan is to plump up as much as I can now, then start hitting the weights. I think it is kind of working, my tummy looks softer. Yesterdays workout:
double cheeseburger, fries, and a bucket of soda for lunch
lots and lots of beer and two hot dogs for dinner
two slices of pepperoni as a midnight snack on the way home

Too nice to be indoors

I biked over 2 miles to a pond with my fishing gear on my back.
I fished for a couple of hours and caught two bass.
Then I biked back home and had dinner. All in all, successful afternoon.

Holy shitballs

This may come as a surprise, but I've been swimming four times a week for the last month. I don't do much, 1200-1500 yards per, but I go right after work and have been enjoying it.

Today:
200 swim
200 pull
4x25 breast/free, I pull out, three breaststrokes, and free the rest of the way
6x100 pull on 1:40, I try to hold it between 1:15 and 1:20, which is basically light speed for me
100 breast/free
100 pull warmdown

Then cigarettes, beer, and chicken wings, but still.
