blog hater!!

So, I haven't blogged in a while, here goes, I'm down...13lbs :)  I had to check before I actually posted it. Ha ha!  I didn't think it would make that much of a deal but my pants are getting longer, not better in the waist, but since my thighs and "hips" have gone down my pants are getting longer.  Which in turn, makes them all slushy 'cause of the snow.  Which ISN'T a complaint ha ha, it's a statement... :)

So... I have a couple things I'd like to touch on.  First one, I've been swimming right?  It's so relaxing, however it's also made me realize that the car accident I had a few years back didn't just leave me with less short term memory, it also damaged my right shoulder and my left hip.  I guess I didn't realize it before because I never had to do the motion that would be needed to do the front crawl.  I only thought of it recently because I've been doing the..... breast stroke *tee hee* every time I've swam, the one time I tried to do the front crawl I stopped 'cause I didn't want to put my face in the water.  Then I tried again and I just couldn't do the motion and went under water anyway.  I cannot rotate my shoulder properly to do that stroke.  Now it's hurting actually so I've been trying to stretch it out.  The swimming was helping though :)  Now about my hip, it's only the left hip so...  when I try and do the breast stroke *tee hee* my left leg won't kick out like it's supposed to, it just kicks up and down.  So... long story short, my strokes are mildly retarded.  However I'm swimming with people who have had hip and knee replacements or have what appear to be bathmats on their backs and chests.  SEX EEEEE!

OH!  Speaking of that.  The other day I was at the pool and when I walked out from the change room I thought it was men's night because I was the only female until I noticed one small korean woman in the hot tub.  I'm looking around and all these men are there together, like 14 men, it was nuts.  And they were all yelling to eachother in like, Armenian or some language.  Anyway, I got in and I'm swimming away, I was actually having a really rough go of it that night unfortunately, the shoulder was so tense.  Anyway, so I decided to take a break in the shallow end and try and stretch it out.  So I'm in the shallow end on my knees doing stretches to my arms and legs and this man in his like late 40's in a speedo and hairy everywhere, with his gold chains, walks past me and looks down my bathing suit top.  DISGUSTING!  I almost lost it, like he was just... gross about it.  Anyway, he gets out and all his guys in the pool are chuckling away so I picked up my pride and got out of the pool.  Seriously?  Come on guy!  Anyway, I left feeling dirty.  Even after my shower.

Second thing I want to mention, I HATE the name of my blog.  That's what you get for rushing something.  When something comes into my head though, I can't think of anything else.  Anyway, I don't actually love food at all ha ha!  I am however, 55 points over for my week already! :s  It was family day today and we baked and had 2 HUGE dinners this weekend and my goodness!!  I also had burgerking on the way home from a concert.  Terrible idea.  So... I'm going to have to swim 3 nights this week, throw in some yoga, and cut out a few points every day.  BLAST!  Ha ha!

Not making the same mistakes

So today I've lost 9.5 lbs doing it slowly and surely 'cause last time I lost 100 lbs in a year and it didn't go well.

However when I punched in my weight today they said I need to slow down however, I think the only reason why I lost so much is 'cause I went swimming more than usual this week, which is nice.

I've lost:

9.5 lbs (total)
7 cm around my waist
5 centimetres around each thigh (now they are the same size)

However, I've gained:

3 cm around my bust
2 cm around my arms

That's probably from the swimming I'd imagine.  I don't have an explanation for stuff like that but...  I guess we'll find out as we progress.

This week I plan on swimming 4 times.  I don't know if the schedule will allow for it but I'm going to try :)

I don't really know if I should jump into swimming that many times in a week from the get go, you know, so I have something to build up to?  I don't know...  Anyway, it's the weekend, I'm going to relax. :)

Have a good one folks! xo

Shopping for shower shoes

It's been a while,

I've been so frickin' busy that I haven't had the chance to blog again.  I've been swimming during my "blog time."  So now I'm blogging on my lunch at work.  I don't have much time so I'll have to keep it short.

I've been swimming, like I said, ha ha ha anyway, it's been great, I finally found a place I'm comfortable going which is nice, so I've gone twice this week and I'm going again on sunday.  I plan on going sunday - thursday eventually and it's my goal to swim the entire hour in the fast lane.  So I'm slowly working my way up to that :)

Last night I went by myself for the first time, it was great, then about 40 minutes into it, a REALLY hot guy came in and I got uncomfortable.  I know it's stupid and self conscious, but I can't help it.  He's like, olympic swimmer style hot so I got nervous, I kept trying to avoid swimming at the same time as him, but almost every time I went he would be beside me the whole way, really uncomfortable, especially 'cause he's REALLY good at swimming.  Anyway, I decided to wait until he was half way down the pool before I started another lap and then we'd be off time so we wouldn't swim together.  No no, he would meet me in the middle and swim beside me or bump my hand half way.  I got out after he decided to take another turn.

Anyway, when I went into the change room, they have these UBER painful floor mats so you're not walking on slippy floor, well, I'm walkin, I'm walkin, and there was a one foot space between one mat and the other one in the change room, I step down and WHOOPS!  I'm on one knee, towel around my shoulders, with my arms out for balance.  If I didn't scare the crap out of myself I probably would have started singing elvis's opening song ha ha!  I didn't hurt myself luckily.  Just scared myself pretty badly.  No one saw, thank goodness.  I quickly grabbed my stuff, tensly and carefully walked into the change stall and proceeded to change while sitting down.  Man it's difficult to put clothes on while sitting and you have water on your legs.

Note to self ***GET SHOWER SHOES***
