EVERY DAY

Hi. I'm Jenni My teachers wanted me tested and to be put on meds when I little because I was all over the place. My parents, not knowing what ADD or ADHD was, made the best choice for me they could and decided that because I feel asleep as soon as I got home from school (without doing homework) I couldn't possibly be…

I find that if I brake down a goal into baby steps (make it into multiple goals) it helps.

I think this sounds like me in a nut shell. LOL!

7/28/14 - 5lbs lost

Yep got an "extra" me holding me down. Found MFP about 3 weeks ago and 4lb down :-) Doing this is better for me then WW was - counting points made me crazy.

Swam almost 1 hour lastnight before the Y closed - all the lifeguards kept standing/playing around like "go home already" LOL

....if by swimming you mean playing at the waterpark at the Y with my church group, then yes. LOL:laugh:

"Water jogging" and "treading water" [/quote] Thanks :wink:

A womens just got to do what she's got to do when there is work to be done. However, I have found that having a kid actually helped with my over all cramping/PMS - 7 and I'd be done. It worries me that so many women on here are doubling over - for days at a time. I recommend seeing a OB/GYN to make sure there isn't a more…

Swimming is always a great idea

I agree - exercise does help, but you don't have to over due it. Just keep moving even if it's just walking to keep you going

I just read this artical and i'm feeling better about myself. Check it out. It may help you too. http://bamboocorefitness.com/one-pound-of-fat-versus-one-pound-of-muscle-clearing-up-the-misconception/

Gained 0.6lb Well, I don't know I guessed that if I added exercise (like a bunch of swimming) the pounds would fall off - at least in the beginning - without having to make a huge adjustment to my diet. I am trying to cut out sugar and/or make healthier subs for it - like if I want icecream I'll go for a yoplay yogurt…

This was me on Thursday after work. Lol - guess it just happens. Can ya'll help me figure out if there is an actual "swimming' term for what I did in the pool today. After 10 laps I got bored so I decided to jog the shallow end and swim the deep end. Was I just being retarded :-) or is this called something I can look…

Swam 50 minutes (didn't have a lap lane) :grumble: but I got over it - I was just glad to make it to the Y. I'm on the fence if I'll go tonight or not or stay longer at the dog park. My Jersey girl has been in her crate alot the past couple of days. (she ate/chewed up my sofa so has lost her freedom for the moment.)

M: 1800y T: 1300y Hoping to get some time in this evening and that the weather holds and we don't have anymore summer thunder showers :wink:

Got in 15 laps before I was distracted - my son and hydrophobic husband decided to swim! Then I took my "swim" to the outside pool for some fun in the sun with my family.

YEP :happy: 1 hour

Is this in yards/lenghs or laps?? (either way holy cow!)

We had some nasty storms lastnight. I couldn't swim, but I did walk on the treadmill for 40 minutes.

Week 2: 0.6 lbs

I second that :laugh:

I felt it means +1 mile (finished) :tongue:

Monday and Tuesday (1 hour each day) Practicing my free style stroke (breathing) and labs I can swim it without going into my usual breststroke. I do better when I relax and take my time - so many things to remember. Breathing is most important :laugh:

Nope:grumble:

DIdn't swim today:grumble: . Friday was to long (woke up at 7:00am and went threw working 3rd shift after fireworks) Caught up on sleep today!:yawn:

Thanks. I'll try to stay warmer after my swim - the pool deck has large bay doors that allows a breeze so it can be chilly after the heated 85 degree water and its always freezing inside down the hallway from the pool to the locker room with the a/c's blasting.

I hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July. I got my swimming in at the Y and the day started out great but I ate WAY too much. My mother in law is a southern lady and nobody leaves her table with out being stuffed ( and stuff to take home too ). She cooked enough to feed 30 people and there was only 8 of us. My son had a…
