Hello everyone. I am going to the Y tonight to sign up for a "Water Walking" class. I don't really know much about it, but am really hoping that swimming is not required! I have been walking on my treadmill since joining WW, but it gets so boring! I did finally buy an IPOD, which does seem to make the time go by quicker. I go to WW on Wednesdays and we had a speaker from Blue Cross/Blue Shield yesterday who gave us all pedometers - with instructions to walk 10,000 steps each day. I have mine on and can't wait to see how I do at the end of today!
Cathy, congratulations on the decision to join the Y. I've been a member for more years than I can remember. At least in our area, water walking is done in the deep end with a flotation belt and sometimes sitting on a noodle (foam pole like things that kids use to whack each other in the pool). I love anything in the water. Right now I'm doing water aerobics which are done in the shallow end and then for half the class you can go to the deep end or stay shallow. My body feels so much better in the water. You will get a great workout and may not realize it. Hope you like it. If water walking isn't for you try some of the other water classes.
Brooke hope you got to stay for your meeting. It's hard when money is tight.
Chelsie, hope your mouth is better.
Nellie, has it cooled off a little for you? We hit 88 today and then a thundershower.
I weighed in this AM and stayed the same. Guess that's better than a gain. I'll have to be extra careful while on vacation.
Have a good evening.
I'm happy to report that I went to the meeting and they only made me pay for this week so I was able to stay. I also lost 4.6 since my last meeting. That brings my meeting total to 14.2 (since I joined in April). My total since I started on my own in January is almost 30! I still have a ways to go but I will get there eventually!
