y'all would be so proud

so today i sucked it up and went in the pool. yesterday i was so tired and my back was hurting so much that i barely made it through 45 mins with the trainer. was SO TIRED and ready to collapse. he said i wasn't allowed to do anything other than swim today. i still did 30 mins on the treadmill this morning, but decided i had to honor my promise to him. i honestly cannot remember the last time i've been submerged under water - other than for the hydrostatic body fat weighing. seriously, i have not been in a pool since maybe 8th grade fat camp (and that was totally against my will anyway). no one was really there but i was still pretty self conscious about my butt. its all funny looking post inner thigh lift. i didn't look too terrible though. i swam for like 20 minutes then went in the "warm pool" that has a corner with hot tub-ish jets.  i am very proud of myself.

GURL!  I am so happy for you. I keep on sayin', most peeps are so wrapped up into their own insecurities, OMG. They do not have time to be trippin up on you. Like swimming is so easy! my aqua aerobics is a challenge. It is a whole 'nuther experience - muscles you have not thought of in some time...  I can't wait for spring. I plan to sign up again.

Proud is right! GO ANDY! I knew you could do it.

That's great Andy. I hope to get into one once my body is seksi. lol

Andy, That is HUGE!!!!! I am so proud of you.  You did it and you didn't die.  See, we told ya so!!!! Whoooooo hooooooooo.  This was a whole lot more than how you looked Andy, it's all about overcoming a huge hard limit that you set for yourself. I'm totally impressed.   Donna

Go Andy!  Just imagine if you keep it up.  There would be no stopping you! :)

**hugs** thats great! I HAVENT BEEN NEAR A POOL IN YEARS. I cant seem to find a suit that i think hides me well enugh so i just dont do it. I wish i had ***** like you.

***** is a choice. Why let fear override what you want to do??? Forget what others think or whatever fear it is you have and just do what is good for you!  You'll love it!

How much coverage do you want?  I know where to find suits with long sleeves and pants....  basically for muslim women and skin cancer survivors... but would be good for the body concious too...

Thanks Vio! i didnt even know they had a such a thing.. I guess i really should have i mean they make eveything for just about eveyone thes days. and i would like full leg covered and a top with sleves, i mean they dont have to be long sleaves but short ones. and i cant help it jersey(hey im from jersey lol) iv all ways been like that.. I have my "friends" to thank for that one. Im trying to some out of my shell butits going slowly.
