I went swimming.

Hi All, Well, it started out to be a kind of cloudy day here, so not a real beach day. So, I took the kids to the family swim time at our YMCA and we had a blast! I felt so good. I haven't been in the pool since I lost weight and I got a LOT of arm and leg work done. We swam for 1 1/2 hours. It took my appetite away. I could only eat part of my taco salad at Wendy's for dinner and I'm still not hungry. The weather changed, so, after Wendy's, we did take a ride to the beach and I sat up on the deck while my kids splashed in the waves. It was a perfect ending to the weekend. Hope everyone had a great weekend. paula

Hi Paula, I went swimming yesterday , it was nice but chilly. I ended up in the ER last night dehydration and exaustion, guess the last few months caught up to me finally. 4 hours and an IV later I was home with instructions for lots of liquids and lots of rest. So glad to hear you enjoyed yourself today. Shel

My company picnic was yesterday at a regional water park. I can't even describe how truly wonderful it was to be able to run around in a bathing suit and not be self-conscious. I by no means have a perfect body, but I'm nothing to stare at it in horror, either. I had a blast going down the water slides and swimming in the lagoon! Of course, I actually really hurt my back when I thought I was 12 again and decided to participate in the inflatable obstacle course. Let's just say I landed on my stomach, kinda like a belly-flop, and my feet were stuck up in the hole, and I heard a loud "crack" in my lower back. Ouch! I couldn't move for a couple of minutes, but then I shook it off. I'm paying for it today, though, oh yes. My physical therapist should have a field day with me next week. Shel, you have my prayers! I'm sorry you went through that, but I'm glad you were taken care of and sent home.

Hi Paula, good for you!! I used to do water aerobics (love swimming) but changed that, and now I feel too self conscious to get in a bathing suit. I am totally shai pei puppy looking. Bad arms, my thighs look terrible, and my stomach hangs way too low. Does anyone else have these issues!! Anyway, good for you!! love donna

Went swimming for about 20min on Saturday. Felt good then it felt kinda wierd. I became more conscious of the extra skin(fat) in the water. Well back to the low fat, come on skin(fat) go away. I then put a 14 hour day in reorganizing my garage. Did I mention it was 105 out? Whoops there went another lb. hehe
