Thumbs up

Ok, I joined the YMCA about 3-4 weeks ago. I really like swimming laps and didn't think I would enjoy it. If I go to the gym, there are others there who can watch you. There are the muscle guys who look at the women, even old ones like me. So I don't really enjoy the gym much. But I go into the lap pool, especially the shallower one and swim laps in the free lane when little kids are having lessons in the other lanes. Nobody pays attention to me so I can relax and concentrate on the water and my movement. I'm getting a little better each time and moving faster. I really enjoy it and I just never thought I would! And I got free registration in July!! It is very relaxing so I recommend it highly to anyone considering!!

Walked on the treadmill today. Actually felt pretty good today. Managed to walk for 23 minutes, and I did something I've not done before. I upped the speed on the treadmill to a speed that I havent gotten up to yet. (whatever the machine default is, I pressed the speed up button four times.)

Also managed to do that particular speed for most of the walk.

So, I did 23 minutes, and did .48 of a mile. Ever so much closer to the half mile mark that I havent been at for awhile.

Legs got tired, but I didnt feel quite as tired as I usually do when I was finished. Maybe the fatigue monster is on vacation?

Exercise kills Mr Fatigue Monster I would feel sick (fever/aches ect) if I swam 20 laps 2 days in a row. 1 yr later I do 30 & want more. 35 today.

new day has dawned, and I slept right thru it. I was too tired to get up and walk, and chose to be a lazy bum today. I mean I do have other things to get done, but just didnt feel like a crack of dawn walk, so DH went without me. Hurrray! DS went to church, and I get to do some ME things. Of course most ME things involve getting others ready to start their week. Lunches, clean clothes, clean beds, clean showers...you get the idea.

Maybe tomorrow I will walk. for today I am on strike.
