got all my paperwork...got orientation on Thurs. to talk about my fitness goals AND
they let me (even tho ins. starts tomorrow) start today....
I jumped right into the pool....swam laps.....LOVED it....sat in whirl pool w/some nice folks and chatted and laughed with a few folks, young and older
I spent well over an hour there and didnt even notice.....gonna start easy b/c i had this awful flu that messed up my lungs, so i have to "buld me back up" from winter being lazy and this danged flu i am finally rid of
it was FUN day today.....tomorrow I will be back, hanging out and swimming and i saw the neatest ride....the guy using one of them looked like a lobster, lol, with his arms holding the handles of this thing and his legs kinda spread out working the pedals....I want to "tackle" that funny looking machine tomorrow b4 my swim.....
OH it felt GREAT being in the water, swimming, and then lounging in the whirl pool......they have these shower stalls out in the open where you can clean off the chlorine right there b4 your shower.....Cool
I said this was gonna be MY year for getting a life and I must say it has been a GREAT start.....
now i got a steak w/my name on it and some BBQ pinto beans I am gonna heat up and maybe some froz. veggies stir fry in olive oil and I am gonna EAT....
HUGS to all...hope your eve is as cool as mine.....

Rose: You already know how I've been feeling about you getting back into the water again for one of your favorite sports! I'm grinning ear to ear because you get so happy in that water! Thanks for such a positive share of your life with us today! Sorry the steak was tough. What a disappointment! And then, you chose to focus on something that did turn out well for you. Love the program example, too! Happy New Year's Eve to you and a very, very happy New Year, too.
good for you, and how great they didnt say you couldnt start til tomorrow,
im another water lover (but one who hasnt been in the water for ages). I need to just get out there and get started working on my own health (cause if not now, when?)

I love swimming, in part because it is exercise but you never get sweaty :)
Also i love the sensory part of it; the way sounds are muffled under water, watching the bubbles of exhaled air, feeling the velvety smoothness of the water against my skin....

oh yea, like when i go under and "troll" the bottom of the pool i can sense my whole body being carressed by the water, knda sensuous......and the muffled sounds above me, b/c of the density of the water...
i was doing my favorite water tricks and swimming some hard laps...like i was racing....it was soo much fun.....yea, water is so great....
maybe i like it b/c it may remind me of my pre-natal life in my mothers womb....it was the only time i was safe with those people....the warmth of her womb, the soft water around me, nurturing me, my umbilical cord giving me exactly what i needed re: nutrition......i was curled in the fetal position w/no cares int he world.......maybe that is why i really like water.....it takes me back to my b4 birth life....when my life was shattered......

YIKES....... no i am just there gonna play on the machines and swim, sit in the whirl pool after its all done and ENJOY.......that wold be great, Cathy, fitness clubs are cool for getting healthy and , hey!! think about it...the folks who go there care enough about themselves to get fit, maybe they are healthier mentally, too.....its a thought, LOL
