I did it!

I argued with myself the whole way there but I persevered and went to the 5:30 Water Aerobics class at Thornton YMCA. I think I was watching the clock, wondering how much longer I could last, by 5:45! But I hung in there for the full hour! There were a couple of times that I moved in a way that really *hurt* and I commented, in my head, that I thought water exercise wasn't supposed to hurt! I made adjustments to my performance of the exercises as necessary to protect my joints and enable me to stay with the class. Once I got out, at 6:30, I headed straight for the hot tub but I didn't stay there long! Too afraid I would fall asleep! :) I was amazed, and somewhat appalled, by how completely worn out I was! It was all I could do to buy a few groceries, take some videos back to Blockbuster, take out the trash, watch American Idol and go to bed!

This morning I am REALLY sore and my legs seem a bit swollen. Be that as it may I am committed to hanging in there and buidling up my strength and endurance while I'm working on losing this weight!

I'll get there one of these days!
