Miles Swam so far this year: 286 miles
Hey Folks!
For everyone who is like me, starting out with a high BMI, I would like to share a special achievement - I did the numbers, I have swam 286 miles so far this year. I started swimming at 474 pounds, am down to 331, and I am working toward bigger and better goals.
If I can do it, so can you! I started swimming merely 500 meters three times a week, which was about 20 - 30 minutes a day. I am now able to swim five days a week for a minimum of an hour a day, usually closer to two hours, and I swim 2500 - 4600 meters. Small steps make a long journey!
Even if all you can do is walk in a pool, getting out and DOING is what will help you through your journey. I laugh, "I cannot be too fat to swim, they make swimsuits in my size!" So, if you need help finding swimsuits - try sanctuarie dot net, justmysize dot com, roamans dot com, onestopplus dot com, loveyourpeaches dot com -- and check for sales, I just ordered two new swimsuits both shipped under $20!!!
Stay positive!

Hey Jewel!!!
I calculated my land miles the other day - I could have driven from Seattle to Spokane - 284, it is well over 700 miles to San Francisco - but to answer your question: 2678 from Seattle to Maui -- yikes!!! I will be swimming three plus years -- how long was Tom Hanks a castaway?!
Keeping track of my miles has been fun & it keeps me inspired to schlep off to the pool -- today is STORMING, rain, thunder, cold, not too inspiring to swim - accept that the pool will be WARM!
With that, my hair is braided up, my swimsuit is under my pants, and I am READY to go!!!
