Aquacise...and a few NSVs

Went to my first aquacise class today and I loved it!!  It was a hard workout and my muscles are sore, but it was relaxing at the same time.

I am down about 35 pounds now and the NSVs are starting to roll.  I can now climb stairs like a normal person (not both feet on one step, both feet on next step), I can lift my foot to rest my ankle on my opposite knee (not quite crossed legs, but sure does make putting socks on easier), and I bought my first belt in twenty years.  I went to an event last weekend that involved hours of standing (about 5  hours) and I didn't realize until it was over that I didn't look desperately around for a chair or a wall once!!  And my knees weren't in pain for the rest of the night either!

I feel lighter.  I still have a very long way to go, but for the first time in my memory I feel like I am making some real progress.

Have a great day everyone!

That's wonderful Tracy. That sounds like fun, I did it years ago and it is surprising how much of a workout it really is.

Aquafit is DA BOMB!
Remember to drink water, though - you sweat in the water, even if you don't feel it.

I really miss our classes, the pool is being rehabbed for sal****er .. soon come, as they say in Jamaica.
Can't wait to get started again.
