[speaker001:] Of a exercise program you have.
[speaker002:] Well, um, [throat clearing] I have a, a, a former exercise program. I'm a graduate student, and this semester, I'll tell you what, I, it's been almost impossible for me to get, you know, back to regular exercise.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] Um, [throat clearing] last summer I was a, a swim instructor all summer and, and life guard, so it was really easy for me to get quite a bit of exercise swimming and, um, and since I worked at a recreation center I could, uh, you know, use those facilities quite often. But, um.
[speaker001:] Well, swimming is, uh, one of the best exercises you can do.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] [Baby talking] I mean
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] as far as for, uh, cardiovascular and
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, and there's
[speaker001:] and it's
[speaker002:] and there's no jarring on the.
[speaker001:] least hard on your body, I,
[speaker002:] Pardon?
[speaker001:] It's the least hard on your body
[speaker002:] Exactly, yeah, um, flu-,
[speaker001:] as far as, uh, impact and
[speaker002:] yeah, fluid resistance.
[speaker001:] Right, right.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh. How about you?
[speaker001:] Well, I do, uh, little aerobics, oh, three or four times a week, but it's not enough to, boy if I go, in the summer time I try to jog, jog a couple of miles
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] and, uh, well, you know, even doing that three or four times a week, when summer hits, that's a hard thing to go out and
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and go jogging for, uh
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] half hour or so, but
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] so, I'm not quite getting the level that I need to.
[speaker002:] Yeah. Do you, do you kind of think it's a chore, or do you enjoy it?
[speaker001:] I like it.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I like it, uh, part of my problem is I have small children, so, uh, to do a whole lot just requires a lot of, oh, coordination as far as
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] scheduling and
[speaker002:] Sure, yeah.
[speaker001:] that type of, uh, deal, you know, uh, when you're in college, boy.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] You got a hundred things going on. Of course, you got a little different direction going, but, uh.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, yeah. Uh, I, um, I used to, uh, I used to weigh, uh, two hundred fifteen pounds, and now I weigh only about one, about one seventy-five. Um, [throat clearing] so I drastically had to change the way I ate when I, when I first moved to college, and, uh, I had started weight lifting quite regularly, and so I got my weight down, and it's kind of easy for me to forget about it now, because, uh, you know, when I'm not fat like I used to be
[speaker001:] Right, you don't notice it
[speaker002:] I don't worry about it , yeah.
[speaker001:] as much, yeah.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. Although lately I have noticed, you know, even if I gain, like two pounds, I start, I start feeling it and,
[speaker001:] You feel it, don't you?
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] It's amazing how, uh, how much, uh, it changes, and I weigh probably about the same I weighed for, oh, I don't know how many years, but, uh, it's changed places [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] And things don't fit just quite exactly
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah.
[speaker001:] fit the same.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] But, uh, so, do you do, uh, in Texas, uh, does there, probably quite a few facilities.
[speaker002:] Yeah, there are. Um, I'm living in a dorm right now, and so right downstairs there's a facility. And I really feel kind of guilty for not working out more than I do because there's a facility right downstairs where all, you know, all we have to do is, is, uh, run down there and.
[speaker001:] Do you enjoy it, or is it, uh.
[speaker002:] I really do if I have the time to.
[speaker001:] If you can have, find the time
[speaker002:] Uh-huh
[speaker001:] it's just the.
[speaker002:] yeah, I really do, because I like to get, you know, get off alone and just do that for a while, but that's hard, [LAUGHTER] you know.
[speaker001:] Yeah, it is hard
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] it is hard. It's, uh, like anything else whether or not you want to
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] sacrifice another half hour. My problem is I don't want to wake up another half hour earlier
[speaker002:] Exactly.
[speaker001:] and do more [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Don't get enough sleep as it is, right
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] and, uh, kind of have, if you're having the pressures of school and, uh, everything else, it's kind of, course it's really, you know, as soon as you do it, it's really a release.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] You feel invigorated and you feel
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] [Inhaling] oh, you feel in a lot better shape
[speaker002:] Yeah, ready to go another twelve hours.
[speaker001:] just like eating right foods.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] If I eat very much sugar, boy, just does something.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. Do you have to watch what you eat pretty regularly?
[speaker001:] I do. I have to be real careful.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. I stopped eating meat about, oh, uh, must have been eight months ago.
[speaker001:] Did you?
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, completely. I mean, any kind of meat or, and I, and I really feel a lot better [throat clearing] now.
[speaker001:] Makes a lot of difference.
[speaker002:] Yeah, it really does.
[speaker001:] Well, there's a lot of fat in meat.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, yeah, that's it, I mean, that's about where almost all of the fat comes from
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] and so. I found that really helps.
[speaker001:] And unless you really like, uh, fish.
[speaker002:] .
[speaker001:] Fish is pretty good for you, but, uh.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I eat that, I think I've eaten fish like twice since. I used to eat a lot of fish, too, but [throat clearing] I just tried to cut it all out for a while and see what happens.
[speaker001:] Kind of see what happens.
[speaker002:] Yeah, and I like it.
[speaker001:] I've tried to do that with sugar and,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] it's almost impossible
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] I don't know if I'm that brave yet.
[speaker001:] everything has sugar in it.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] I mean, if you go, your ketchup has sugar in it.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Course, and I like sugar, too, that's
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] that's a problem, but.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Anyway, well, it's, uh, nice talking to you. Think we've, uh, covered all the subject.
[speaker002:] Okay, yeah, it sounds good.
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] Well, good luck to you there in Idaho.
[speaker001:] Well, you, too. Good luck, uh, enjoy college while you can. Let me tell you it's, uh.
[speaker002:] Well, I'm in graduate school now. I, [throat clearing] I, I kind of feel like I wish I could have gone back to undergraduate now [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] It's a little different, uh
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] challenge, isn't it?
[speaker002:] Yeah, it is. Well, it's good talking,
[speaker001:] Where are you going
[speaker002:] Pardon?
[speaker001:] studying?
[speaker002:] I'm studying speech pathology.
[speaker001:] Right.
