Ah ha..............what is this I see! It is all coming together now, Lea. 

woo hoo! I did more swimming the tail end of the week and kept up my 10k steps, just got to keep working hard :) 38 lbs down, 24 lbs to go! I have from thursday - Wednesday off so the weekend i can definately get more exercise in so hopefully monday will be another success 

I am swimming today..........can't wait to blow the weekend cobwebs away!! 

its definately a bug isnt it, im obsessed, i went everyday last week and booked everyday this week, the beginning of last week and the week before I actually didnt do that much swimming becasue i was having anxiety but i went to a few public swimming sessions instead of the slow lane and found i did alot more swimming for longer so ive booked double of those this week. and its completely dead only about 5 people in the whole pool which is fantastic! ive booked some 2 hour slots too so i can enjoy the jacuzzi and sauna too as an extra pamper. its definately making me feel so much better in myself i come out with a massivbe buzz! the days i dont go i feel tired. how often do you swim Anne?  

I go in the fast lane, Lea. But it's not for the fainthearted 😆3 times a week and I do 1600 metres a go. (64 lengths) but I have been swimming for years. Our sauna isn't open at the pool 😕 since lockdown. I miss it and the chat with the punters that used to use it. But please keep up the swimming. You will never regret it 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️ 

I am at the pool now. Waiting in the car for the 1000 session👍 

I hope you had a good session :) Even the swimmers go really fast to me in the medium lane! so you must be super fast! i just plod along lol according to my watch a length breaststroke was about 1:50 now I am about 1:20 so I’m a bit quicker and someone noticed it as well so that made me feel good. The back stroke I can do in about a minute. I feel more confident at that one. Its small steps for me as getting over the fear of drowning but I am doing pretty well. I did 20 lengths today so if I can do that every day then that’s a good goal for me 

That's excellent progress! Keep working away and build your base fitness. Is it a 25 metre pool? If so, 32 lengths are half a mile. You aren't far off that. Brilliant!  

Hey, yeah 25 meter pool, on my first day someone told me that too! When you look at it like that and add it up over the course of the week I think I will be shocked, gone from afraid to book, to get in and out of the car, especially at 5am, to get from changing room to pool, to get in water, I feel like this is going to be a great journey! And it's so lovely to have someone to talk to about it too! Your a massive inspiration Anne, thank you for all your support ❤️  

My pleasure, Lea. Yes, it's not only the swim itself.......it is the whole routine and rituals that go with it that help clear and focus the mind. It is so great that you are overcoming your initial fears. You should be proud of yourself!! 

And you have got yourself a green line too...........you are smashing it. 

I know i was so happy to see the green line and hopefully not long before it goes blue! i do plan to extend my target though so it will probably go back to orange haha. I have just ordered new scales so worried they are going to be diffrent to the ones I have and throw my weight out but we shall see  

I got new scales recently. I weighed exactly the same on both. But the new ones have 16 different body measurements also which was exciting to begin with but I just look at the body weight one now.  

At pool, waiting my session to begin 👍🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️
