Today, I returned to my lap swimming...it had been way too long since I had gone to the pool - Why I continuously get off the tried and true path of this journey, I do not know - must be laziness. My son has been monitoring my progress as well as cheering me on - but he is also the one who is the most blunt about reminding me what will happen if I don't keep on this journey! And he's right! So after our phone conversation yesterday, I dragged my body back to the pool today! And felt great, of course!!! Geesh...why am I sometimes my own worst enemy?!! Thank God I've got someone to "kick me in the pants" when it is most needed! :)
I felt amazing today after my lap swimming. Unfortunately, I only made it to 15 laps - I will need to build up my endurance and strength again as I had gone up to nearly a mile - 27 of the 32 laps which makes a mile. The good news is, however, is that this is my 2nd day of exercise this week, and I plan to add at least three more days, maybe even four. I feel I have returned to making a "total commitment" to my journey and that, too, is a great feeling!
What did I do today to demonstrate my TOTAL COMMITMENT to my program?
I tracked and stayed within my points.
I swam laps for 30 minutes at the pool.
Babs - You are not lazy. This week's WW topic is finding a Plan B (which, of course, is difficult if you do not have a Plan A!). Maybe the swimming just isn't working for you right now - going to the Y, getting in your suit, getting wet, having to dry, shower and change, get from the Y to where you need to be. Let me repeat: YOU ARE NOT LAZY. Maybe what you need is a Plan B that is just as valid as your Plan A (swimming). Take an extra walk for the day might be an idea, or couple walking with another activity - like walking AROUND a mall (either inside or literally around the mall if it is a strip-mall). YOU ARE NOT LAZY. And, don't fall victim to all or nothing thinking. If you have done ONE thing in a day that makes progress toward your goal, then you have success!

Nope I don't think you are lazy either. Cause if you are that makes me lazy too and I am not ready to admit to that!
