I am the
of the pool! I had such a great time - I have not worked out so hard since I don't know when! My whole body aches but I feel great. The session was women only and it was really quiet - just a few ladies and a few children - so I just got in there and got on with it. I am particularly pleased because I swam for the whole session (apart from a few breathers!) which lasted 40 minutes. I remember the last time I went swimming, I weighed about 50lbs less than I do now, but I was a smoker and I could only manage 20 minutes because my lungs couldn't take it. This time I had no such problem and I just swam and swam - it was only when I got out that everything turned to jelly and I felt really wiped out! Then I had to make the 20 minute walk home which is all uphill! 
I just feel so proud of myself that I went - and I'm suprised about how much I actually enjoyed it! It was only when I was leaving that I thought 'I was the biggest person here' - but do you know what? IT DID NOT MATTER! No one cares - they are too busy focusing on their own swimming or looking after their kids. I am definately going to go again - it is such an all over work out, the pounds are sure to fall off if I keep it up!
Thank you Faye for your words today as they really spurred me on!
HEATHER - Seriously girl, if I can do it, you surely can! How about trying a women only session - even the lifeguards are all female. GO ON GIRL - you will feel so great afterwards (well as soon as you step into that pool actually) I promise!
All the best
Love Amanda x
