My day.

[cassandra_7]

Today, I got up slightly late (caught the 8:30 bus to work which with the traffic puts me in work at about 9:20).
Work went fine, more moves to plan, and I spent the rest of the day finishing up a project in Excel. Which was fun.

Then *trumpets* I went to the gym! I actually went and exercised. I swam for half an hour or so, and managed 1/3 of a mile (20 laps) plus some treading water between a few (to get my breath back).

I realise it's a bit crap, but for me, it was a big deal. Now if I can just keep going. I've got an advantage in that my boss goes every Monday and Wednesday like clockwork, so I have someone to push me. I figure if I want to lose weight, I'm going to have to start exercising, because I'm never going to get my diet down enough to lose weight without exercising. I just like food too much.

skipping food is not a healthy way to lose weight, nor is it maintainable. Making the body stronger is a much better option. Kudos!

You could always come running? I can run past yours, pick u up?

Let me work my way up to walking/running.

I *hate* exercise, and only the fact that I *love* swimming is making this a possibility. Although if it gets me in shape so I can keep up with people going up and down the hills in Whiby... that's a definite bonus as well.

Thanks, but I've got plans Wed. I'm going swimming with my work mates, then hopefully to Dead Nightclub Night at the Dove and Rainbow.

If I manage to continue going with my workmates, I plan to join the Fitness Unlimited, then I'll be free (haha) to go to the one in Hillsborough as well.

Walking is great for you and YAY! Don't you worry. Slow and steady. Kick some butt, Cass!
