I got a rec center pass and started swimming whenever I can. I've gone 3 times already. Once before work and I was so sore! I only was in the pool for about 30 minutes but then I worked 8 hours. And I hadn't been to the pool for 2 years so I was feeling it. Then, Wednesday and Friday I went after work. Thought of going today but I need to stay home and get some writing and laundry done. I work late tomorrow so I want to rest up.
I'll gradually increase the amount of time I spend in the pool. I'm starting out with 20/30 minutes, depending on how tired I am. Especially after work. I get so tried that the laps wear me out quickly. My rec center also has limited pool hours right now. So, any water aerobics classes are out of the question right now until they get a full staff to run those classes.
Also, I dug out my scale and am starting to weigh myself regularly. I won't give numbers but I will say if I've lost or gained. For the longest time, I seemed to have plateaued. I couldn't get under this one number. But, then, after not touching the scale for months, I weighed myself Thursday and I'm down 9 lbs! So happy about this! It's my goal to get down one size before my sister's wedding in October. So, I have 8 months. And then another size by my birthday the following year. And then I can dance the night away and not lay in bed the next day crying from pain.
I plan to go nearly every day this week, either before work or after depending on my schedule. And Thursday is weigh-in day #2!

No Enbrel, Stupid Cold
So, last week I went to a football game. Woke up Monday morning with no voice and a cough. It developed into a head cold I've been fighting ever since. But, because of that, I was unable to take my Enbrel last Thursday. My doctor told me when I'm sick I shouldn't take it because my immune system is already weakened and it could make it harder to recover.
This made working Monday and Tuesday extremely difficult. I barely made it Monday and my knee was killing me. I made it Tuesday until the final hour and I asked my supervisor if I could bail. All things considered, though, I think I did pretty good. I'm trying really hard to stick out my hours because this time of year is always cut back so you have to take what you can get. And, ComicCon next month!!
My boyfriend and I are planning to go to Cleveland ComicCon at the end of February. That will involve a ridiculous amount of walking and money being spent but it will be so much fun and worth it. Especially if I get to see my favorite actor and be a ridiculous fangirl. Because, why not, right? ^_^
I have today and tomorrow off so I'm trying to get some things done around the house in spurts. Tomorrow I can take my shot! Thank God! Because Friday and Saturday I have 8 hour days and those are the hardest to get through. I just have to keep thinking of my end goal and it'll motivate me through.
