XXVI
Finally, finally we went swimming tonight. The last time we went swimming (properly) was six months ago. I was anticipating pain, but it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. My leg muscles were burning by the end, but in a good way. It’s always a case of having to drag ourselves there, but once we’re there and doing it’s fine. And I feel so much better for it afterwards. Let’s hope we can keep it up.
I’ve put on a stone in the last twelve months. Add that on to the fact that I was probably already about a stone overweight and… well, not good. So I think it’s back to counting points again. We did WeightWatchers a couple of years ago and - combined with swimming twice a week - it really worked. Tomorrow I’m going to dig out my old points journal and start counting everything again. Swimming twice a week will do for now, but ultimately I’d quite like to add more exercise in. I don’t know what yet. Running, aqua fit, aerobics… it all sounds appealing, I guess I’ve just got to find what’s best for me. I’d also like Wii Fit, but nowhere has them in stock at the moment. Still, small steps.
