Go Jump in the Lake
The swimming pool at the YMCA is supposed to be open today. I am absolutely thrilled, because as expected, I hardly exercised at all when the pool was closed. I don't understand how you gym rats can stay so dedicated and keep on going to the gym every day, but I admire your willpower! I o

Last night I ended up lying down on the floor in the middle of a Worthington business, with about 10 women around me watching me demonstrate, on dry land, a breaststroke. It was a weird day. I went to get my haircut at Avalon, and asked them for their advice because I was sick to death of my hair.

The title of this blog is what I was aiming to be when I started going to the YMCA to swim every day, and while I don't think I'm quite there yet, I am getting better. My arms are thinner and my lower legs and arms are actually exhibiting muscle tone. They haven't done that for a long, long time, p

As soon as I got into the pool today, I realized something was wrong with my goggles, because the water wasn't as clear as usual. Actually, it turned out that there wasn't anything wrong with my goggles at all. It was just new water in the pool, making the water look a bit murkier. I was surprised
