I did it! After about 1/2 hour spent staring myself down in the bathroom mirror....teetering on the verge of cashing it in and giving in to the list of to-dos today. I jammed in my contact lenses, packed the bag, told myself all I have to do is get in the water splash splash splash and come home.....
well, I forgot how warm and tingling the cold pool water feels on my cold appendages in this wintry weather - delicious!
I felt like I hadn't really lost that much endurance or strength which is encouraging. I was in a lane with a slower swimmer which is always good for the ego
I didn't monitor how many laps of what I did - just followed my nose, concentrated on how everything felt and my breathing and when I looked up it had been 20 min. so I just did a few more and all told swam 1/2 hour....then had a luscious few minutes in the hot tub stretching. ahhhh.
had some left over pizza (Kashi's mushroom spinach thin crust - yummy)
now I'll walk one of the dogs for an hour.
THEN I'll be ready to tackle the to-dos and all will be well.
I did however weigh in at 108 lbs... so my 3 months of being a sloth has take it's toll afterall....I'll see what I can do about some meal planning and grocery shopping to make sure I eat enough this week
