Ben and I went to the gym today. We have been really, really bad about going regularly. Things have been coming up recently: grocery shopping, oil change, training, etc. It's really no excuse, but it still happened. Anyway, we went swimming again.
We got in the pool around 8:53 or so. The clock was on the other side of the pool and I couldn't see it exactly, but it was definitely after 8:50 and before 8:55, closer to 8:50. The pool closed at 9:30, so I figured I'd try to get as much done as I could. At about 9:10, I had swum 800 meters and decided I could get done by 9:30 with a mile if I pushed myself a little. (Granted, that first 800 was with a couple times stopping to talk to Ben and give a couple smooches.) It was cutting it really close. I got done basically right at 9:30, which put my mile at 37 minutes, plus or minus a minute or two (more likely toward the minus, which makes me even happier).
Even better, I weighed myself before I went swimming. 153 lbs, which is the best it's been in a month. I'm going to measure the circumference of my tummy/thighs, since I haven't done that in a while. Give me a sec. It was 37 inches on my tummy and 22 inches on my thighs. I don't remember how that compares to previous measurements, so give me another sec. The stomach...eh, could be better. It HAS been better, but it also has been worse. The thighs are better than they were. Gotta keep truckin'.
Hi Janine!! Just keep it up one day at a time, one decision at a time. Best of luck!! I hate losing weight and need to lose about 6 lbs. I won´t be going to the gym today because I feel sick from the change in altitude. I just got back from Houston late last night. Anyway, I will be back at the gym tomorrow to try to lose some weight myself. Good luck and I know you can do it!!!! -Jennifer
