"It's just what I do" has gotten me to the pool more times than I care to remember. It's my little piece of self-talk that sits on my shoulder when the voice on the other shoulder is saying, "You don't have to go, you know..." Nope. It's just what I do. I start the day with the best of intentions. Making it part of my day/weekly routine helps me stick to those intentions.
Report back and tell us how your swim was. Even a lousy swim counts toward building the habit!!

Rest day on Sunday. Pool was closed at the gym on the holiday yesterday.
Swimming tonight after work.
I really have to limit processed foods. Too much salt. Gained some water weight the last couple days.
Melt it off in the pool tonight.

I know the feeling.
I had many month long Coma trips withno swimming at all until they finally found a pool for me. Sux bad.
Swimming is an essential part of my physical and mental health. I know many in here feel the same.1 -
I don't know which came first, the grumps or the lack of motivation. Either way, rearranged things to be able to go today. My first mile done. 😎2

it gets to the point where it doesn't matter which came first doesn't it? I know that if I ever feel like not swimming, it can be a sign of the grumps, but sometimes I miss the sign if other factors like tiredness/scheduling issues creep in. nicely done on the mile! 2 -

Great job getting it done!!! I have seen a pattern of my own that usually start with no motivation, talking myself out of going (I'm a grown up. I don't have to if I don't want to.), talking myself back into it (Just drive there. Get out of the car. Just get 10 laps in. Then you can sit in the hot tub.), until finally just going, and then going, going, going, and having one of my best swims. Admittedly, it's probably due to my mental state and incredibly low expectations for the day
Remember what Dory said in "Finding Nemo," Just Keep Swimming!!1 -
6.6km last night. Flushed out the water weight gain from too much processed crap food over the weekend.

Went to the gym before work today to sneak in an extra swim.
2.2km is all I have time for before work. But it was good. Spent most of the time seeing with one of my "swimming partners."
I'll hit the pool door another 6.6km after work.0 -

4150y today. A new distance record for me. As I was swimming up past the 2 mi mark, I started to see how gutzy can want to surpass his longest swim. I realized that I'd never seen my lap counter go into the 80s before. Or 90s. What would happen if I did 100 laps? It's not a fancy counter. Can it go that high? I might have to find out...
I stayed for the cardio class, but mostly because I was expecting my niece to show up. I was too tired for the usual intervals. Today, other than being hungrier, earlier, I'm fine I decided that in order to keep working on endurance, I'd like to get a 2-mile swim in twice a month. Fridays seem like the quietest pool days for that. A great way to end the week. 3 -
4km
