Something HAD to be done about this! So, on Wednesday after work I went down the street to the Trinity Wellness Center. A nice lady showed me around, encouraged me and gave me information on joining.
Today it is warmer outside and most importantly the SUN is shining! After my morning nap, I got up and got dressed and went to the Wellness Center! I signed up for six months. Hopefully, summer will be here by then!?
I walked around the track four times, then on a treadmill for 20 minutes. I did five minutes on a bike and realized how out of shape I am! I lifted on two weight machines with no weights. I found out I can't lift two pounds with just my arms! Here I've been lifting and carrying Dylan all around but couldn't lift a 2 pound weight on a machine!
The very best part of my visit was putting on my swimsuit and walking into the pool area. They have two huge heated pools. One of them is a 95 degree spa with bubbling jets! There was no one else there! Just me. I can't remember the last time I went swimming? WAY too long ago that's for sure!
I got right into that warm water and started swimming! As I swam I felt myself smiling again.
I did 1/2 laps; the crawl, breast stroke, side stroke and back stroke. I wasn't sure I would remember how to do them? It was like "riding a bike" only easier! I really didn't want to stop, even after an hour, but knew I might not be able to walk tomorrow if I kept going. :D
I think the Wellness Center will see me a lot. I'm surely going to get my money's worth! After just one visit I feel so much better. I can't wait to go swimming again! Now I feel like singing THIS song!
Hope you do something today that makes YOU smile! I went swimming. What will you do?
