"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
get fat = consume more calories then you burn
cardio is an aid in burning calories to get "lean" and if you choose swimming as your cardio then do around 30-45 minutes of swimming laps at a moderate intensity.
How much so you weigh?
I have been swimming for years (1-2 hours per day). I rather gained weight because there are few activities that make you more hungry. After I got out of the pool I used to eat really much. IF you have enough discipline (eating little) swimming is good. Personally I would recommend running (1-2 hours per day) because it makes (at least me) less hungry.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

According to a lot of knowledgable people here it's recommended over endurance work because you burn calories yet maintain/improve musle mass.
5 min warm up
10min easy up, fast down
15min 50m sprints with 1min rest
10 min start easy, build up pace, push hard last 100m
5 min cooldown
Don't increase the total time.
Mix up the strokes, for instance up easy breastroke, fast crawl back.
Train 3-4 times a week like this and lower your base cals by 200/300 and see how your body changes, make adjustments there on in.
Don't do this first time round but in the future you can try first thing training on an empty stomach and black coffee.
Allegedly the muscle is not broken down, yet fat stores are utilised more. Not all have the balls for this though.

I'm 5'10 and 190 lbs. I used to swim a few years ago and I was 175lbs.
Of course I felt lighter and great. Although I did not have a specific routine and just increased my endurance up to 45 min.
I plan on starting again in Jan and I think I have a good plan thanks to your responses.
