Swimming

Well yesterday I did it. I finally went swimming. I promised myself for ages that I would get to the swimming pool and I don't know why I didn't go sooner. I managed 34 lengths (may have been 36 but I lost count) which is half a mile. I could have done more but I want to build myself up slowly. I'm going to go again at the weekend and do at least another half a mile or I may even try for 40 lengths.

Unfortunately, my walking has taken a bit of a back seat. I was hoping to go out today for a brisk walk but I have been waiting for a delivery all day and it has still not come yet so it has stopped me. I shall walk to the bus stop tomorrow evening as that will give me 2 and a bit miles in 38 minutes.

On Saturday, I met 3 of the ladies from the WW boards in town. It was nice to meet like minded people and I am hoping we get to meet up again soon.

I brought the Fit Friends DVD in town on Saturday. It's Gaynor Faye and her skating partner from Dancing on Ice going through a fitness routine. I look at it this morning and did the warm up. If I can do that a couple of times a week too I will be so happy. I think it is important to vary your fitness routine as otherwise you get bored with it and our body gets used to it.

Finally giving up smoking. It's been 2 weeks and 6 days so far and I am very pleased with myself. I just hope I can stick with it this time.

So my resolutions this year are going very well. I only hope I can stick with them and end 2007 a non smoking, thinner and more fitter person.
