Moving

Apr 10, 2012

 I signed up for swimming lessons last week.  I had my first class on satuday and I was so freakin happy.  I love love love moving in the water.  I love the resistance when I move my arms.  The last time I took classes was 20 years ago and let me tell you I noticed alot more "pops", "creaks", and "snaps" this time around.  My shoulders and hips have definately paid the toll for all this extra weight I carry.  Nonetheless this is the first time in a long time that I move my body so completely.  I was stoked and actually wanted to keep active the rest of the day.  Yesterday I sat alot at work but then took a 40 min brisk walk during my lunch hour.  Today I didn't really swim laps but I did spend 45 minutes in constant movement in the water with my daughter.  Unfortunately I binged on Easter and then overdid it  for dinner tonight.  The upside is I it was early in the evening and only for dinner.

I find that it's hard to break old habits.  When I started school every break involved eating.  Now I'm trying to stick to just the 1 meal while at school but when the non lunch breaks come I feel so deprived that by the time I leave I've pretty talked myself into a starbucks venti chai with a scone and I'm not even hungry because I guzzle 16oz of water cause I know myself.  I didn't do the starbucks today but when I got home I acted like I hadn't eaten all day.  All just cause I resisted starbucks.  It was time for me to eat but dam not like that.  Something I will have to ask for help from God cause I'm not seeing my therapist anymore.
