Well, I went to the Y this morning to swim and the pool was empty . . . no not empty of people, empty of WATER! Apparently, they'd posted a sign for several days (or weeks) telling of this development but, being blonde and not very observant, I didn't notice it. Apparently, it will be empty all week next week -- EEK! They let us use the outside pool this morning. It was sprinkling when we went out -- three of us at first but there were a couple more when I left. I got 3 good laps in and then I adjusted my goggles. I must stop at this point and tell you that, while I love swimming, I can't see in the water without goggles. However, I hate the kind that just cover each eye separately. So, I bought some that look more like snorkling goggles. However, they are difficult to situate. They never fail to leak at some point. Much as I try, I can't get them in the perfect spot twice in a row. I manage it every once in a while but, well . . . I fiddled with them several times, doing half a lap and then adjusting and on and on. Got through 9 laps and got fed up. Next week, for cardio, I'll be doing the Walk Away the Pounds dvds that my mom gave me.
The good news is that I've lost about 5 lbs. this week simply by watching points and exercising again! Woo Hoo!
The bad news is, I yelled at the kids this morning to start their day. Which always sucks. I had good reason and it was pretty much justified but I still feel crappy about it.
But my wonderful hubby sent me a Hallmark Card (Hoops & Yo Yo) and I feel a bit better.
