Ouch!

I am faithfully exercising an hour every day in the pool doing water aerobics and I hurt in ways I never realized would hurt. I am so out of shape physically. Hopefully with each passing day this will get better. I am the next to youngest in the class. The instructer is a year younger than me. We were in high school at the same time. She has always been an interesting person, walking to the beat of a different drummer. Very "earthy". She and her husband live on an acreage south of town. He does the most amazing stain glass. She has worked at Opportunity Village for 20 years and from what I see the people love her. She is so upbeat and positive. When I came the first day she spent the session working with me to get me in tune to the exercises.

I love the water so this is a great exercise for me. The price is also amazingly right. For $70 a year you can swim anytime you want. You can go to all of the exercise classes that you want. Right now they have them twice a week at night and 5 times a week during the day with open swimming on the weekends. An excellent deal!

Well I am in the 200's now for weight. This is an amazing change in my life. I am excited to feel good again and be out in the world, not hiding.
