gym update

 well i have managed to hit the gym consistantly since getting my membership early last week.  In the last week i have done walking laps on the track with my kids then was able th get 20 minutes on the tread mill befor my girls were wining to do something else... i have already worn out my ill fitting bathing suit and will be heading to walmart on payday to fix that problem. I have been swimming almost every day and spent sunday night racing my kid in the lanes ..... she gave up after a few laps and i went on to do about 24 laps alternating freestyle, breast stroke and then back stroke...... wanted to try butterfly but decided i didn't want to loose anything out of my ill fitting suit at the public pool..... avoided that one but really want to see if i can do at least 24mtrs of fly I know i can still do the stroke have done it at camp in the lake just not sure how far i could do it and not sure i want to attempt it in public LOL i will keep you posted when I do.  I swam again tonight and did some water jogging and some arms only and legs only laps left the kids at home and it was a nice change.

you're so awesome!!!! congrats on your consistency!!!

Holly smokes - good for you.  Did you get clearance to go in the pool as our center says minimum 3 months before we can go in.  Are all your incisions completely healed?  They are also concerned with the  abdominal stretching involved in swimming. I was surprised when they said no to me.

never asked first LOL but they are aware that I am going and as long as i had no open wounds I was good to go.  I have not been okayed for any weight training or heavy stuff yet but soon very soon so soon I can taste it LOL

that's fantastic, a big WTG on the determination and good luck with finding a rocking bathing suit~!!

yep found a decent tankini style at walmart so affordable too with good support and adjustable straps
