I started working out with my s-i-l at the local ymca starting the beginning of the year. She and my m-i-l work out of their house babysitting so the best time for her to go to the y was just before she would be picking up the kids from school in the afternoon. Since I don't work a full time job, I said that'd be fine. Little did I know that splitting my day up like that would take a lot of adjusting!! Plus I was sick with the flu for a solid week - it was horrible. I prolly went through 3 boxes of tissues!! But this middle of the day thing has messed me all up!!
I do enjoy working out again. And yesterday we started a routine in the pool. I use to be on the swim team back in HS and I have always been a swimmer. I've always tried to have a pool or a lake near where I live. Since I've lived here in IN it's been very hard to get to water and I've really missed it. But boy am I out of shape in the pool. I remember back in HS before school we had to swim a mile - this is before school - and then during school we had another time in the pool, so I use to swim a lot then. Then after HS I didn't swim as much but I did do a lot of other physical activtities - lots and lots of hiking (I lived in the desert and we use to hike the hills around them) and I worked construction for many years. I was (key word: was) in good shape. No longer am I in anywhere near good shape. I've gained about 25lbs in the last 10-12 yrs and although I'm tall and most would say not super fat, I haven't been comfortable with myself in a long time! So this whole working out thing is a super thing - other than I have got to figure out how to manage my time much better!!! My shopping has suffered!!! And now we just got tons of snow and I have no food in the house - my DH is gonna be soooo mad! :-)
Have a blessed day!!
