Swimathon

This morning I completed the Big Splash Mile for Sport Relief.  64 lengths of a 25m pool.  I woke up this morning feeling very nervous and tired but once I got in I enjoyed it.  I seemed to slow down the longer I swam and length 57 seemed to take a decade but I got through it and completed it in 55 minutes.  I have already registered my interest for next year 2.5km swim (100 lengths) to keep myself motivated.  Don't want to waste the effort I put into it.  I am still going to the gym and enjoying that, outdoor running has really gone on the back burner now and couch to 5k seems a daft name for my blog now too!

The gym!

So, today I joined the gym!  I never thought I would say it but I really enjoyed it and came away feeling a real buzz.  I got weighed when I got home and I have lost 30lbs in total since September.  My BMI was 29.7 when I started so I was almost obese, now it it 24.9 which is in the normal range! That feels great!

I can mix running, swimming, cycling, cross training and various other randomly named machines to keep the weight off and get toned up.  I never thought I would grow to love exercise but I really do!
