Did a tougher than usual cardio class Thursday and immediately got in the pool to swim laps. Was exhausted, felt like my feet kept weighing me down, had to stop and catch my breath every 25 yards. Ugh. Just a Very Bad swim. Got out feeling a bit defeated, like ya get after a bad workout.

A wonderful younger woman came up and shyly asked me if I was a “professional swimmer”. I started laughing and she apologized and said she’d asked because I swim “so well”. Make no mistake, I am a lousy swimmer, but suddenly, my feet (and attitude) felt a lot lighter!

And both yesterday and today, a couple of people have commented on my flexibility, one a yoga instructor who said I looked noticeably more flexible today.

Maybe the new Celebrex prescription is already helping. I’ll take it. 👍🏻

Once again, let me just say how grateful I am for weight loss. In late 2018, this wouldn’t have been happening in my wildest dreams. A lousy, heavy swim is 10,000% better than no swim at all.
