Swimming: Day 1

I am fit, healthy, happy......................or at least on my way to it. Currently I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been (which still is realistically not that much) - approximately 155 lbs. at 5'6" tall (I think, but when I last went to the doctor she measured me and said I was almost 5'7"??). Definitely it would be to my benefit to either get a scale that works or get my measurements and weight done at the gym. I am really not happy with how I have let myself become - lazy and inactive. I used to be a Personal Fitness Trainer, but maybe the reason I was so interested in fitness was because I have never been consistent with it.

Recently I decided I am going to take up swimming again. My mom has swam for years to stay in shape and I used to back when I was in middle and a bit in high school. It was great for me because I love swimming and I can work out hard and not feel it as much. Not like running - ugh how I do not like running. Anyway, this morning I went to one of the local pools at 8 am and bought a 10 day pass. I want to make sure I am fully committed before buying too much time. I bought my goggles, latex cap and ear plugs so that I am fully prepped and prepared. Today I  swam for 20 minutes at full speed and then cooled down for about 5 minutes. I was happy with this amount of time for my first day back. The biggest thing I noticed today was that my arms starting feeling weak and getting tired way before I was starting to feel out of breath. I enjoyed it today. Tomorrow perhaps I will add 5 minutes. :)

Until then...cheerio.



God bless,
