Weight Loss Goals Update

Tweet

To keep myself accountable to all those who were kind enough to comment on my post about my weight loss goals I will attempt to post an update at least once a week. Last week I had weighed myself. So when I weighed myself at the pool this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see I had lost 3 pounds. Must be all the moving I'm doing. I spent a wonderful two hours at the pool this morning. When I went I wondered if I would even be able to be in the water for one hour, let alone two. I checked in at the Y about quarter to 7 AM and got into a nice warm pool where I met some nice women and with just a simple moving around to keep my legs and arms moving, I enjoyed getting to know the ladies there. At 7:45 I found myself in an exercise class. Now this was new to me, sort of. I have done water exercise before, not water aerobics though. I'm going to need to practice the grapevine a bit so I get used to it in water. I did need to get myself out of the deeper water so my feet were touching bottom. Not moving around was the hard part as I found myself unable to stand in a certain place to do those exercises, something else I will need to practice. But as the exercise program is three times a week, I should get the hang of it soon. So that was another 45 minutes for the exercise class, then I was back in the regular pool for a few minutes, but as they were getting ready for the kiddy exercise class, it was time to hit the hot tub before going home. So that was how I started this morning out. Exercise class is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So I'll be in the pool for at least two hours on those days and who knows how long on Tuesday and Thursday. Though most likely only one hour tomorrow as I need to be here by 9 AM as my mattress will arrive between 10&2. We'll see. The Y opens at 5 AM so if I can get in early enough tomorrow, I could easily get two hours in the pool. Right now my knees are letting me know how they feel about all the water exercise they got this morning, but it's a nice ache, knowing there's a very good reason for how much they hurt at the moment. So three pounds down and two hours in the pool. Not a bad first day. How has your day gone so far?
