healthy things i did for myself today: ate a little too much but i was hungry and it was all healthy swam - and i'm definitely getting better and stronger! i felt really good today. and at the end of my workout i always do tricep dips on the edge of the pool. i usually do 10 and am dying by the 8th one (but push myself to 10!). but today i went up to 15 with no problem! i actually may have been able to do a little more. it was a great feeling to do that. also, an older man came in while i was resting between sets and complimented me on my backstroke! that was really cool because it actually is my specialty stroke and as long as i've been swimming there no one has ever said anything about my swimming ability so it was cool for someone to. not to brag but when i go i'm usually the fastest in the pool and have the best form. i got the skills! haha got enough sleep (i've been making sure to do that quite often if you havent noticed. life is so much better and its so much easier to be in a good mood when i'm well rested!)

AT LEAST IT WAS HEALTHY! I SHOULD TRY SWIMMING BUT I\'VE BEEN DOING MORE WEIGHTS AND NOW STARTING TO RUN AGAIN SINCE WALKING ON TREADMILL IS GETTING PRETTY BORING. WE DO DIPS ON THE COUCH WHEN WE WATCH TV - FEELS SO GOOD THOUGH! LIFE IS USUALLY BETTER WHEN WE ARE TAKING TIME FOR OURSELVES AND IT GETS US IN A BETTER MOOD ABOUT US AND THINGS IN GENERAL. WE ARE LESS STRESSED AND THINGS AREN\'T SUCH A BIG DEAL WHEN THEY DO COME UP. STAY STRONG, YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. HOW\'S WORK AND DID YOU GET ANY TESTS DONE? BEST OF LUCK AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ON YOUR STROKES..... SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY NICE, WISH THERE WERE MORE IN THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN. KATHY
i went swimming today too! ur prolli a lot faster than me haha!!!!!! i just swam 4 an hr breathestroke and backstroke,didnt count how many lengths i did! well done on getting enough sleep and i think noting the healthy things u do 4 urself is really helping you mke sure u keep doing good things 4 u! Good too see you boast about ur swimming ability too! :)
Its great to be complimented is\'nt it. Do you race all the people in the pool. I do when i swim, which admittedly is not very often. I used to swim alot when a young girl and think i did too much of it. I agree with the sleep, i am so grumpy when not well rested. Have a great Thursday. Ps \"tipping down\" is loads of rain (English expression, i suppose!!!) LOLxx
Yeah, life is so different if you can face it after a full night\'s sleep! Congrats on your swimming success, I am very impressed. The only way anyone would get me into a swimming costume in public would be with death threats. Your arms must look great after all those tricep dips. And you should be proud becuase according to gym instructors 15 is the perfect amount for any exercise movement, enough to get the benefit and not enough to do harm.
