Yeah, the title is rather dramatic but oh well. It's accurate enough.
Since my mom recently became a new part-time worker at my town's rec center, I now I have a free pass that I intend to take full advantage of.
I used to be a competitive swimmer, and for some complicated reasons, I gave it up, but I sure do miss it every day.
So, I'm gonna get back in the swing of things, and begin to work out every day. As soon as I am done typing up this post, I'm gonna dig out every last swimming thing I own, pack a bag, put it in my car, and hopefully make it to the pool every day after school.
I'm thinking my training plan is going to be an easy mile or so to start off with, meaning:
200 warm up
100
200
300
400
500
400
300
200
100
100 sprint
200 cool down
(note: everything is in yards, because that's how my country deals with things)
This will be my first week or so, and then I'll probably add more as each week goes on. I just love the water. It's like my second home.
Maybe I'll start my couch to 5k program, but honestly, I don't know if I should.
I've also begun packing my lunch in order to help me stay away from all the fast food my friends tend to eat.
I'm kind of nervous about this new training thing I've thought up, but honestly, all I ever do is come straight home from school and sleep, so it's not like I'm cutting into my homework time.
I love y'all.
I want to thank N and Bella for their incredibly kind words on my last post.

*Edit* Major fail, I forgot to mention the most important part of all this: I will not step on a scale except for once on Saturdays.
This is going to be huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge for me, considering I get on at least twice a day.
We'll see how it goes. Wish me luck?
take care, little penguin.
ReplyDeleteeat well. that's very important. especially if you're staring a new exercise regimen. I hope you're not restricting your food intake.
I hope that swimming makes you smile.
I hope that you smile when you read this.
I love you.

Good luck. I think all that swimming is more than enough without C25K as well. I always wish I'd gotten into competitive sports. I've never learnt how to enjoy exercise outside the ED. I was that one kid who always sat out of sports and was always mysteriously sick on athletics & swimming days.
ReplyDeleteTake care <3

Swimming is awesome! I used to swim a lot, so if I got a free card to the pool I'd probably jump on it too. But, but, so many yards? I'm more of a leisurely swimmer, I suppose :D

ReplyDelete"Oh my goodness, I NEED some Ben and Jerrys now. As a kid, I was never allowed to have it, because it costs like, an entire "five dollars per gallon", when of course, we "could by a million gallon tub for three dollars". (Basically, my parents hated me.) But I'm an adult, and with this adultness I can now buy my own food."
yes, yes, you can. go buy Ben and Jerry's. buy your rich American flavours, and then come with them to Bahrain so i can have them all.
"But I won't. Cuz you know, driving is scary and actually getting up off my fatass to walk the entire half a mile to the store is even scarier. Ha."
1) you are not a fatass. 2) half a mile to the store?! pass! (this is coming from the girl that goes to the gym regularly).
"I love you, dear Sammy. I hope you're doing well.

i love you too. so much. <3
