Oh My! I took my first "plunge"....

I did it; I actually went to the gym and got in the pool I never thought I would actually get the nerve, but I put on a pair of shorts and a tank top and went in... once I was in, I was loving it so much, I didn't care anymore about the fact that there were other people around; and you know what, I don't even think they were paying attention to me! Now I can't wait to go back in! My cousin and I are doing water aerobics today; I did an hour and a half water aerobic excercise program and feel great; if it weren't for her, I'd have never gotten the gutts to go in, but I am so glad I did, because it is an enjoyable workout that even I can do. This was another WOW moment, of sorts, for me!!

Way to go Michelle!!!

Aw, Michelle, that's awesome. Glad you finally took the plunge and that you enjoyed it so much. It will just keep getting easier and easier. Keep up the great work!!! Hugs, Tabby

Congrats Michelle!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it and will be going back!!! Susan

Congratulations on taking the plunge, Michelle! i searched high and low in cape town and found a suitable gym that had a pool which was not so open to the other gym users ... but now that i have been there a few times i notice there are fatter people than me (how rare!) and they are using the open length pools which is more in the public eye, so soon i will be joining them. i find that it is easier joining the aqua classes, as all the muscles get attention. and the instructor holds you accountable. if i swim alone, i feel that i can slack down anytime. i need to feel the 'burn.' last week a most embarrassing thing happened, the aqua calss was so hectic ... i noticed the instructor looking at me surreptitiously ... i look down to notice that my one boobie had almost popped out!!! LOL

Good job, Michelle! I spent so many years avoiding the water, even though I've always loved it, because I didn't want to go without looking good in a bathing suit. Now, I also put on shorts and a tank top (for now) and enjoy the water again. It's heaven, isn't it? Lisa
