Yep, week 87. I started out in March of 2013 and I am still at it - trying to reach goal. I have 30 and change to go to reach my goal. I sure look unhappy in that picture on the left. I remember frowning as I was going to go for my first swim that morning and donning a swimsuit in public was a bit daunting. Couldn't get into the water fast enough.
The journey has been filled with rewards, I must say. I couldn't swim halfway across the 25 yard pool (freestyle) that day. I remember seeing the posted workouts that had things like 4x50 (which means you do 4 50 yard laps in a row). I told the coach "I can't do a 50!" Another swimmer, Jerry, told me "it will take you a year to get 'your lungs.'" He was right; I got them a couple of months quicker, despite my asthma.
Once I hit goal, I'm not 'done.' My journey will continue as I become a life time weight watchers member because I know if I quit doing it, I'll balloon up again. I've kept a journal documenting every tenth of a pound I've gotten rid of to keep me honest, and remembering how difficult it is at times.
Best thing is how much better I feel!
