Pounds2Go: 43.5 (-.5 lb from previous P2G)
Can you say “duh”?
I was all upset about my big blister all afternoon, and finally settled on doing the full 4 sections of my 8 minute workout today. 32 minutes of targeted workout is a good thing! As I fell asleep lastnight I was just thinking about putting shoes on for the next few days when suddenly, I remembered - shower shoes. THEN I thought, hey, why don’t I SWIM tomorrow? DUH! I don’t need shoes to swim!
So I’m officially announcing my idiocy. :duh:
I swam 1/4 mile today in 1/2 hour. My legs and arms and tummy feel so toned - I wish I could walk 3 miles and swim every day. There’s such a feeling of euphoria for me to feel my muscle - maybe it’s just the reminder that it does exist under the stuffed monkey sock that is my lower half!
I did a good job with my food log, I kept it just under 1500 cals, and am down 1/2 pound (again). I’m fluctuating on this 1/2 pound this week, it doesn’t seem to want to leave permanently. Here I wanted to break a milestone this weekend but I’m starting to wonder how that’s going to happen. I think if it’s still here on Monday I’m going to have to give it a name, this half pound, because usually when you name something it dies. heh.
A couple of people have asked about the Grapple, here’s the scoop on that fruit. It’s really good - but I was telling a friend of mine this morning that it would be cheaper to dice a regular apple, throw it in a bowl with some grapes.
You guys are all doing really great, it really is helping (me personally) stay on track! Thank you!!

What a girl….clever, resourceful and can swim to! Who knew! Ease up on yourself a bit. Just remember you didn’t gain it overnight and you won’t lose it over night!

Good for you! I wish I liked swimming. Maybe I will once I lose these pounds. Good for you for finding an alternative.
Don’t worry that 1/2 pound will be history before you know it.

I do enjoy a grapple, but you’re right they are expensive aren’t they. And I have to wonder what’s wrong with a regular apple that we have to mess with it so? Good job on the swimming girlfriend! You would have to challenge me wouldn’t you? Ok, 3 weeks from today with no drive through? I’ll let you know how I do!

Swimming is my favorite exercise, easy on the back and joints. I wish I had a indoor pool!! I know I could go to the club and swim, but that would mean me in a swimsuit in public and that ain’t happening, at least not yet!! :shame:
Good going on your achievements girl!

Thanks everyone!
As far as the being seen in a public pool in a swimsuit - trust me - it’s NOT a big deal. Especially if you can go at a wierd time of day. I go mid-morning, so the people I see are retired, and they’re more interested in my tattoos.
:rofl:

I love that you are naming the soon-to-be-deceased 1/2 pounder. Keep up the good work–you inspire many

Tattoos?! :shocked: Let’s see pics of them! I want to get a tattoo. On my shoulder of a penny and a dragonfly. Long story. Good alternative, Leanne.

I wish I could find a place that I could swim… (that didn’t require me to join the entire gym membership!)
I have a tattoo as well - maybe we ought to do a show and tell!
