Swimming and depression

Oct 29, 2014

Right now I'm more depressed than usual because I haven't been swimming. The pool at my health club is closed in Oct for renovations. There are other branches of the club around town but when I tried the closest one, I hurt myself getting out of the pool as they had steep fiberglass steps instead of solid concrete ones. The next closest one has 2 pools, but the lap pool is VERY cold and the warmer exercise (water aerobics) pool doesn't work for laps. Some days I beat myself up - like if I'm going to be successful at WLS, I need to get my ass to these alien pools. But I haven't. It's way too far out of my comfort zone. Although once I'm swimming again, the comfort zone will expand. I'm waiting it out and hoping for an early Nov re-openng. Call me "weenie."
