I am proud to report that I am, once again, swimming on a daily basis.
I am starting to get “into” it again, which is kind of a relief for me- at the beginning of the summer, I was really rebelling at making myself swim every day. But my job is very sedentary and I need [...]
I miss getting in the pool. I’ve only been away a few days and I miss it! Swimming is like aquatic therapy for me!
I’ve actually thought about this. Swimming would be much easier if I had my own pool, but those dinky backyard pools are not that good for laps or exercise. If I had [...]
This morning my mom and I went swimming. It is hard for me, in the sense that, it is VERY RARE for me to eagerly jump out of bed in the morning. I’m just not a morning person. So when my alarm goes off to wake me up to go swimming- well, it takes an [...]
I am a VERY modest person. Definitely more than most! The only males who have ever seen me naked were doctors (and that was in my car accident- it mortifies me and I’m thankful that I don’t remember that!)(at least as an adult- I guess technically I was naked as a baby, but I don’t [...]
I have to admit that I’m a fan of watches, especially luxury watches like tag heuer, cartier, or movado. I don’t own or wear many of them, though. I almost always have a watch on- I’m kinda OCD about knowing the time. But my watches tend to take a lot of abuse. I wear a [...]
After this week I plan to get back into the pool. This week, I’m staying out, since I am injured and hormonal. But swimming is really what works for me to get exercise and to get into shape.
We have some exercise equipment in our house. Like most homeowners we have a treadmill and an exercise [...]
My confession: I am ridiculously lazy when it comes to skin care products. I’m prone to acne outbreaks, though my acne is quite easily controlled if I just use an OTC product (like Neutrogena or Johnson and Johnson) in the shower, every day. But I’m lazy and I don’t!
When I started swimming several months ago, [...]
Quick updates…
I don’t know how long I’ll be able to be totally online. We have the potential for a really wild storm tonight- across the state line, this system is dropping tornadoes left and right, but nothing really bad here yet. But I want to be ready so that I can shut down my pc, [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve been swimming- you guys all know that. No surprise. Since I started subbing, I’m almost always working during the hours that the pool is open. I’ve thought about getting a membership at the Y, since they have a pool, but that is farther away than the pool I’ve been using, [...]
Like I said, I’ve been gaining weight and short of finding the world’s best diet pill, I’m not sure what to do about it right now. I wonder if sleep- or more specifically, sleep deprivation- is a significant factor. I am really struggling to get enough sleep lately. I am such a night owl, but [...]
